Comments about Canon 15mm F2.8 Fisheye Lens:

This lens allows for some very creative shots. However, the noisiness of the lens when focusing is very severe, especially when compared to my other f2.8 lenses (24-70mm and 70-200mm, both are L series).

Overall - highly recommend it for wide angle look and works perfectly on my 5DM2.

Comments about Canon 15mm F2.8 Fisheye Lens:

First, the picture for this product doesn't match what you get, which is Canon's EF 15mm 2.8 Fisheye Lens.

This is a fun lens to play with and since my wife is starting into wedding photography, it is a must have for the camera bag.

The build seems very sturdy, but since it is Canon's only fisheye lens, I don't know why they didn't just add it to their L series. The price is great, especially compared to the fisheye offerings of Sigma. The lens cap fits snug, but I can see how that would loosen up over time.

[...] Great Pricing
