Canon EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM review
The fisheye camera lens was originally developed so that the whole sky could be captured in one single image to help meteorologists study cloud formations. However, the extravagant 180-degree angle of view soon found favour with photographers.

Canon EF 8-15mm f/4 USM L Fisheye - Review / Test Report
The Canon EF 8-15mm f/4 USM L Fisheye is a more than welcome addition to the Canon lens lineup. The combination of circular and full frame fish-eye in a single lens is a unique offering in the market. It is also capable of delivering technically decent results.

Canon EF 8-15mm f/4L USM Fisheye
A VERY UNIQUE lens indeed! While a fisheye isn't for everyone, I find that if you're in a rut photographically, put this baby on your camera! If that doesn't get you going, I don't know what will.
Pros:
- Great lens with more functionality than the previous 15mm
Cons:
- Price

In a past life did a lot of underwater photography, so got used to the wide angle fell and was in the market for a wide lens. Tried a non Canon zoom but was unimpressed with the focus and build quality.
Pros:
- Superior build quality
- Super-sharp images
- Fast auto-focus

Another tasty bit of bottle from the Neasden boys, this one with a front end the width of your hand and so deep and dark you could sink your arm in it up to the elbow. Sporting a smart paint job featuring the L-type red band and white lettering on a black lens barrel, it comes with the Canon...
Pros:
- Great Features
- Great Picture Quality
- Lightweight
- Looks Ultra-cool
