Ultra-low dispersion (UD) glass reduces aberration, and advanced lens coatings enhance image quality.

Compatible with Canon EOS cameras: Designed for use with Canon EOS SLR cameras for wide-ranging compatibility.
Fisheye lens for ultra-wide angle shots: Bends the image to create an artistic effect for extremely wide panoramic views up to °.
Captures diagonal and circular images: Provides 180° diagonal angle of view images for all EOS SLR cameras with imaging formats ranging from full-frame to APS-C and 180° circular fisheye images for full-frame EOS models.

f/4 maximum aperture: Creates sharp, detailed images with a slightly blurred background at close range. Performs best in moderate-to-bright light settings or outdoors on overcast days.
Aspherical lens corrects aberration: Precision-ground lens focuses the light rays into a single point to reduce aberration and produce high-quality images.
UD glass for superior image quality: Effectively suppresses chromatic aberration for optimum lens performance.
Ultrasonic motor (USM) ensures smooth, precise focusing: Utilizes ultrasonic vibrations to focus the lens, resulting in smooth, silent and precise autofocusing. Full-time manual focus permits manual focusing without switching out of auto mode.

Canon has done it again! EXCELLENT!
I waited a log time for Canon to come out with this lens and it was well worth the wait. This is such a creative tool but I will say the learning curve is steep. Why you say? You have to really watch that you don't get unwanted things in the photo such as your feet or tripod legs. Trial and error is the key here. Once you start learning how to use this lens the possibilities are endless. This lens is so sharp and the color is nothing short of amazing. I have only had this for 2 months now and I am finding a completly new view of shooting. I am using this on a Canon 60D at the moment but am waiting to try the new full frame 6D when it comes out. I would say buy this lens if you want to start exploring a whole new area of photography.

Great fisheye zoom
fun, fun and more fun with bending lines... It is great lens for both - full frame body (I used it on 5D) and on crop sensor like 7D, 60D and lower. I did couple pictures with my 7D and actually you can have more use of this lens on crop sensor camera ... I mean if you don't want to have those black corners you can use it from 9mm till 15mm. Reflection are very well managed - I did few pictures with the sun in the frame and pictures are still great. Lens is very sharp and can create very dramatic pictures!

Love, Love, LOVE this lens!
I love fish-eye lenses in general and really like this one. I'm currently using this with a crop-sensor frame (T4i); at its widest setting, you'll get solid black corners (like vignetting, but...solid). Pricey, but I got it in sale at BB and saved $360. Great for a creative spin on all sorts of photography, from candid portraits to landscapes.
