 Nice. October 24, 2008

I really like the sparkly, crystal-clear images this lens produces. I was after the lens distortion, and was pleased to see the other benefits of using the lens as well. It's quite a versatile lens.
That it will not take a filter and the lens glass bulges outward is a little scary from a lens-protection standpoint. I would not recommend this lens to anyone with sloppy handling techniques, and I CERTAINLY would never loan it to ANYone, too much danger of damaging the glass.
It's pricey. That it's not a 'great deal' is the only reason I gave it 4 stars rather than 5.

Fantastic!
I have often wondered why they don't bring out a newer version of this lens as this is fairly old now and what with the specifics of the digital camera I was expecting to have to be careful how I used this lens (especially as I am using the 5D). In actual fact the quality is amazing. No picture fall off like you can get on the zooms with the large sensor (such as 24-105 for example). I must however add that this is just based on my first impressions and first experiments with the lens but my feeling is that it won't let me down.

Enjoy using this canon wide fishy eye lens. Not so fishy when I first used it on my canon 40d but learned to love it. I take it everywhere. It's kinda loud but if its to loud your to old to use it.
 Totally Fun December 3, 2007

This has been an Amazingly fun lens. Although the quality is not an "L" series canon, the very minor lack in sharpness and contrast, is made up by the awesome "fisheye" images produced by this lens. Talk about seeing things differently, this lens will will do that and some.
Good fisheye but not an L September 7, 2007

I have been a fisheye fan for years. Photos taken with this type of lens can be very striking because they enable a viewer to see all at once a scene that cannot be viewed as a whole normally. A fisheye or other superwide lens is often the best way to capture a big landscape. No other lens has better depth of field making it possible to take photos in sharp focus from a few inches to infinity. Barrel distortion is largely eliminated or disguised in a landscape photo by putting the horizon in the center of the shot.
My only quibble with this lens is that the corners can break down on a full frame camera such as a 1Ds or a 5D. At f4.0 and above focus in the corner is noticeably soft and there is considerable chromatic fringing. It is only in the extreme corner so cropping that out or shooting at a higher aperature solves the problem.
