If you want some excellent dirt equipped with rocks defiantly purchase this, not sure how It will fit to my canon but I can probably use it in my potplants

I love fisheye lens but this is the first time I bought a manual focus lens. No problem focusing though because anything more than a few feet is infinity. So I set the focus to Infinity & tape the focus ring so it won'\t move about. All the pics I took so far are totally sharp.

I'm not a pro, so I certainly can't justify the price of the Canon 8-16L equivalent of this lens. I'm using it on a Canon 40D, and it's just downright fun and surprisingly sharp. I used it to take some pictures of the night sky and got sharp stars from center to edge. The design of this lens gives you some interesting creative control. Depending on how you frame it and what you're shooting, it can look perfectly natural or extremely distorted just by shifting your framing around. I'm not particularly critical but I find CA, fringing, and flare to be well controlled.A few minor downsides, many of which others have noted. It's manual focus. This isn't really a big deal on a fisheye lens, but at the same time when you want to try and be critical about focus it can be a little hard. It's also manual aperture. If you're an old-school person that came from the world of manual film SLRs this again isn't a big deal. I'll trade $1000 for having to manually stop down a lens any day. You can absolutely compensate for the first problem, particularly in bright sunlight, but putting the lens at infinity and stopping down to f/16 or f/22 and letting the depth of field work for you. Most of the time I focus it by using the focus scale, which seems to be accurate.Flare is noticeable, particularly when a very bright object is in the frame, but not terribly objectionable.Dust on the lens will cause bright sparkles in your image if the dust is side-illuminated, like if the sun is about 90 degrees from the center of the lens, as an example.Even in program mode it can be hard to get a good exposure. Or more correctly, the exposure you want. I'm sure it's doing the correct thing programmatically, but you may find the object you were targeting not exposed properly. Usually it works fine, but if there's a really huge difference between bright and dark in the huge frame, sometimes it doesn't work the way you expect. The nice thing about digital photography is the ability to instantly correct things!Also be careful not to get your own feet or fingers in the frame.

I absolutely love the results I get with this lens! It's super fun, and easy to use, even for beginners. I have read many reviews that say this lens is difficult to focus. Don't let that deter you from purchasing this lens. I have had no problem focusing it.... 9 out of 10 pictures are clear and perfectly focused. There is so much room for creativity with this lens! Ales great panoramic photos as well... For landscape photos, there is no distortion, so what you get is just a super wide angle (unless you tilt the camera up or down) Did I mention it is super fun!? :)

Fantastic fisheye lens.It's difficult to see if you're in focus on tiny DSLR screens but the scale works fairly well and at infinity, everything in frame looks great.A massive FOV.Love the aperture control.Super easy to use.It has become a studio staple on static cams for me when filming bands.
