need.

Fantastic Specialty Lens, February 16, 2006
Reviewer: Jeanne E. Souders
For anyone who wants to make their photos different, this is the lens!
With 180 degree capacity and fabulous auto focus capability, this lens
takes an ordinary photo and turns it into something extraoridinary. I
shoot for magazines and many of the photos that are selected for
publication are taken with the lens. It's an expensive toy, but worth the
money when you see the results. I highly recommend it.

Fun Lens, but Limited Practicality, January 7, 2006
Reviewer: Trevis Rothwell
The fisheye lens is a lot of fun, and I enjoy using mine. However, I find
that the practicality of the lens is minimal. I don't usually want my
"serious" photographs to have fisheye distortion.
I don't tend to like the 1.6x crop on Canon's lower-end digital SLR
cameras, but with the fisheye this has an interesting benefit: it's
reasonably easy to use the fisheye as a standard wide-angle lens, since
most of the distortion is removed by the 1.6x crop. You can still get
distortion, but it's a lot easier to compose a shot without it using a
1.6x camera than a full-frame camera.
Either way, lots of fun. Buy one for the enjoyment, or even for
professional assignments if your work calls for it, but think about if you
really want the distortion before getting one of these.

Probably the best lens I own, January 2, 2006
Reviewer: Jack Silver "silverjackphoto.com"
Let me first start off by saying - long time canon user. I own 6 or 7
lenses, including three L series lenses, and this is by far one of my
favorites - if not my absolute favorite.
I shoot mostly glamour and erotica type work on a 20D. So right there,
this lens is not a true 15mm for me - but 1.6x15mm.
It's sharp as a tack. It's light weight. It's very short (I call it the
nub lens). And it's autofocus is amazing.
Very little barrel distortion...
and highly recommended. This lens is probably as sharp (if not sharper)
than my 24-70 2.8L or my 17-40 4.0L lens.
