Canon EF 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye Pro Reviews

photozone‘s review Edit

Fisheye lenses are a matter of taste and the type of distortions limits its scope to special effects. Other than that the Canon EF 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye is a very decent performer with high resolution figures and good construction quality (apart from the cap design). However, there´re some question marks whether the APS-C format doesn´t destroy most of the fisheye effect. On a 1.3x and full frame DSLR the lens will make more sense in this respect.

The-Digital-Picture‘s review Edit

The heavy barrel distortion from the Canon EF 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye Lens creates a special effect that is liked by most people (until it is over-used of course). With digital capture, we can now use fisheye-to-rectilinear conversion software to create a corrected picture equivalent to what a 12-13mm rectilinear lens would yield. This is great - but it takes some extra post-processing work and requires some knowledge of what the end-result will look like when capturing the shot.
