Canon Fisheye lens

[RumDaddy]

Looking into getting one? What kind do you use, are ya happy with it? So basically whats the word?

Thanks for any input.

Well, FE 15mm f2.8 is not bad as a lens. It is though quite an old lens with ancient optical design.

What I find this lens troubling is its propensity to get purple Fringeing. Otherwise it is doing a good job as it is

You can find the lens in my lens gallery here

This lens is more worthwhile if you have a FF camera

Other fish eye lenses to consider including

Sigma 8mm f5.6

Sigma 15mm f2.8 (2nd version instead of the first version) for cropped sensor canon camera

I have the Tokina 10-17 Fish Eye and really like it!!!

Nice and Fishie at 10mm, a bit less Fish at 17mm, but having the zoom is handy.

The 15FE is a good lens, but if you're shooting on a crop sensor then you'll want to look at something like the Tokina fish zoom that others here have suggested.
