Canon 15mm Fisheye lens is a full frame 180 degree diagonal fisheye lens is designed for the Canon full frame sensor camera like the 1Ds Mark III and 5D Mark II and all the earlier full frame Canon modela.15mm Prime AF lens with maximum aperture of f / 2.8. Unfortunately, this lens has been discontinued and replaced with a new model.

If you still buy a 15mm Canon?

Until recently, only the Canon 15mm Canon Fisheye lens you can get, leaving Canon owners using 1.6 x 1.3x crop cameras in the cold. Canon has now been replaced with 15mm f/4L 8-15mm fisheye zoom lens. As I write this is not yet available for sale, but the 15mm Canon is still available new, and I suspect an 8-15mm zoom is released to the public you will see more and more 15mm fisheye has become available in the used lens market .

The Canon 5D Mark II shooter I was more than a little disappointed that Canon did not upgrade your existing 15mm fisheye. I understand the need for a new 8-15mm fisheye zoom and I can appreciate why the mid-range Canon users excited about the new fisheye zoom. However, for full frame shooters new lens does not offer much except to create a circular fisheye images. According to Canon, the new 8-15mm fisheye zoom should allow for full frame users will be able to go from the diagonal (15mm) to round (8mm) with a simple movement of the zoom ring. Awesome, if you like a circular image! If not - and I happen to fall into that category - then the new zoom is really nothing to offer the maximum exposure to new fisheye zoom is only f / 4

I currently own a 15mm Canon, but I do not think we'll be getting rid of it anytime soon, even when new fisheye zoom Canon finally released. Of course I will take it for a test run, when the time comes, I wish that such a lens exist back when I was shooting with the Canon Rebel. Without a doubt, the new 8-15mm fisheye would be a good lens, but it will satisfy a lot of shooter frame Canon? Lets see the Canon 15mm fisheye lens.

The image quality of the Canon 15mm fisheye lens

Canon 15mm Fisheye lens is the sharpest I have ever seen on any of the fisheye. If there is a sharper Fisheye lens out there then I'd like to see. Most of my friends photo shoot with Nikon, and not one of them will dispute the fact that my 15mm Canon was sharp in relation to any of the fisheye is made ​​governs. Even wide open at f/2.8 lens is sharp as a tack. With a close focus distance of 8 inches you can move in really close to the Canon fisheye lens for those very dramatic eye popping images.

Autofocus is very fast on this lens, although the old style AF motor on it. No Ultra Sonic Motor for this lens as it was originally designed in 1987. Canon has made virtually no changes to this lens since that time.

chromatic aberration could be better, and Nikon's clear winner here, but nothing can be solved easily if you shoot in RAW so you can digitally remove it. Often I have the sun in my fisheye shots and rarely have to deal with any serious problems of shadows and reflections. Color saturation and contrast are as good as it gets with this objektivom.15mm Canon Fisheye translates to the big picture and really get to appreciate this lens when you make large prints with it as I do.

As with other high quality fisheye lenses Canon 15mm rear gelatin filter holder. At 11.6 ounces does not weigh very much, and you can easily carry it around in a vest or jacket pocket without it being very noticeable.

Thus, although the Canon 15mm is not "L" series lens, it is the lens and can hold its own against the zoom, even if the "L" series lens.

is 15mm Canon Fisheye for you?

If your full frame Canon shooter and want a fast prime lens, which creates beautiful images, then I highly recommend the Canon 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye lens, even if you are forced to buy it used. If you like the idea that they can shoot and diagonal and circular fisheye images with a single lens and do not mind a slow f / 4 maximum aperture, then you might want to go with 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye zoom. When it comes to that!

As for me, I do not know if I'll ever be able to forgive the suspension Canon Canon 15mm Fisheye. But I'm sure I'll give it a try.
