The problem is to justify the strong 180º look, not suitable for any subject. I would probably still love my copy if the AF still worked, but for now I’m flirting with the new EF 8-15mm f/4L USM that I used sometimes. It’s a very raw design but it gets the job done. Last, there’s a distance window at the top with f/8 and f/16 DoF markings. But there’s a gel holder at the rear, inside the metal mount. Because of the extreme angle of view and convex front element, you can’t mount filters. The whole glass piece moves inside and you can see the front element moving back and forth. The Fisheye New FD 15mm f/2.8 Lens Known as the full-frame fisheye due to its ability to fill up the 24x36mm format. I tried to fix in São Paulo but they asked for a 60 days service. I let the box with the lens inside fall, and now I can only hear some clicking when I send power from the camera no more AF. A great zoom fisheye to capture beautiful images. You can get some precision from it, but it’s far from the pleasure of use of newer models. Rent a Canon 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye lens from Camera Lens Rentals. There’s a ton of friction and feels like a sand paper. From the 0.2cm minimum focusing distance to infinity takes about 50º, and the feedback is awful. It requires the correct switch position to disengage the ring from the motor clogs, then to spin freely. Its operation is simple with a single old school MF ring (short and shallow) and the noisy micro motor AF. The EF 15mm f/2.8 could stay on your camera all day without much trouble, if it wasn’t for its strong barrel distortion. But at 6.1cm deep and 7.3 wide, it doesn’t feel much different from a f/1.4 50mm. The large front element was the biggest ever used on a fisheye lens at the the time of introduction, and the built-in lens hood is a classic ultra wide angle design. At the front the metal cap is held by some light friction, so take care not letting it fall it will bend and won’t mount anymore. It’s very solid and feels heavy on the camera, as there’s not much space between the external barrel and the glass inside. Canon didn’t really introduced a similar product to the market, so we’re left in the limbo for f/2.8 fish lenses. And the f/2.8 aperture allows twice the light gathering capabilities of the the new EF 8-15mm f/4L USM, keeping the classic 15mm on most kits even today. It’s not a L series so the tight built makes a good impression, from the same design school of the original 50mm f/1.8 and 35mm f/2. At 330g of eight elements in seven groups, the EF 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye is made of metal and is more special than it looks.
