I recently rented a fisheye lens as I love the wide-angle aspect. And, honestly, if this lens (Canon 8-15 F4) wasn’t so expensive, I’d probably buy it. It’s truly an excellent lens. I think I’d actually use it a ton, mixed in with my other main “walk-around lens,” the 24-105 F4.
Because I am heading out on another baseball weekend (and still have the lens), I wanted to share some photos I’ve taken with this fisheye lens. I can’t use some of the ones I want to show because, well, this month in the photo blogging challenge is “baseball” and a few of these have the chance to be used for that!
Anyway, here are a few photos and then I’ll quickly talk about the lens.

As you can see from the lens, you can get the fisheye look, or you can just use it as a wider-angle lens. I like that aspect. It’s nice how it worked and it’s pretty sharp. I love the feel of it, too. It it sharp and crisp, which is excellent. It captures color well, which is nice as well.
In time, I might save the pennies and buy this lens. It’s a fun lens and could be one I’d use a lot. It’s a good lens and I’d like to be able to use it a little more. This weekend is baseball, as well as some stops at a couple of Hall of Fames, so I’ll be interested to see what I get with it.
Anybody out there use this type of lens? Thoughts?
