Canon offers a Fisheye lens with a 180-degree angle of view for unique and intriguing effects. The wide depth of field makes it even more interesting. The short minimum focusing distance of 8 in. (20 cm) gives new meaning to close-up shots. The lens has a fixed petal-type hood and a gelatin filter holder at the rear.

Content: I have used this lens at Division 1A football games this season. I use it on a 5D to take shots of the stadium. It is tack sharp. Last night I saw a six foot wide (!) canvas print the university had made I shot with this lens; even with close inspection it held up nicely. If you must have a sharp lens this is the one.
Summary: Very, Very Sharp Lens

Content: 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.
Summary: Nice.

Content: 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I have often wondered why they don't bring out a newer version of this lens as this is fairly old now and what with the specifics of the digital camera I was expecting to have to be careful how I used this lens (especially as I am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.

Content: 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.
Summary: Here fishy fishy fishy....

Content: 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.
Summary: Totally Fun
