I got the chance to test the new Canon 8-15mm fisheye lens recently. This is the circular fisheye image you will get at 8mm on a full frame full frame sensor. The lens actually begins to vingette at 14mm on a 5d mk ii, so the usage is rather limited on a full frame. On a crop body, there's a lot more flexibility. 15mm on a crop will show a bit of distortion, while it begins to vingette at 10mm. In my opinion, this lens is a winner on a crop, but limiting on a full frame (i.e. you may as well get the 15mm Fisheye at a fraction of the price).
CONTEST ALERT!!!
I am holding a contest on my Facebook Page! Take any picture between now and October 9th relating to the theme "inspiration" and post it to my Facebook wall.
