from jessops Summary: I''''d always wanted a fisheye lens and when this came along s/h at the local shop I had to have it. It is a great lens, the fisheye effect isnt out of hand, just the right amount of distortion, not much bending unless you get right in the edges. As everyone else has said, watch the front element, but the metal hood has been a life saver more than once. I;ve been hit mutiple times from bikes that have just dropped fromn the sky and the lens is still going. I broke off the AF switch cover, but a bit of super glue sorted that. If i ever have to, i''''ll buy another one with no hesitation.
The AF isnt the fastest but with my 1n it seems to work quite well in AI Servo mode. Strengths: sharp, light, small. decent AF. Best lens like this i''''ve ever tried. fisheye is the way to go for anylens this wide. Weaknesses: not cheap (if i have to buy new one), need to use gel filters which can be a pain. Plays havoc with the evaluative meter, get to much sky in and the meter under exposes pretty much everything else. best using partial metering Similar Products Used: sigma 15mm fish eye
