    Oooh, do we get prizes for discovering grammar and spelling mistakes?


    "The tripod used in the above product images is a Kirk Mini Table Top Tripod. Most of the product images in the Canon EF 8-15mm f/4 L USM Fisheye Lens review (and in many other reviews on the site) were shot with the Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L IS USM Lens."


    Damn, only got one.


    .


    Also, just one ambiguity for me:


    "APS-C users have a focal length range limiter switch (shown below) to
    physically prevent them from zooming to corner-darkening focal lengths."


    Does this mean it's limited 8-10mm? and how does it work with the FOV changing with focus?


    Still, not the best lens to be using a crop camera, as most other people have mentioned it is most useful on a FF. If i was going to buy something for my 7D, it'd probably be the samyang 8mm, if i was desperate for the circular look there's the sigma 4.5mm, not that many places have it.


    .


    Otherwise, loved the review (as always, or i wouldn't be here)
    An awful lot of electrons were terribly inconvenienced in the making of this post.

    Navel lint has its uses, so that part I can understand. But a case of Coors? Wow... it must be a *long* list.

    Dr. - Thanks! My appreciation is the only prize - hopefully that suffices. []


    The focal length range limiter switch, when engaged, allows only the 10-15mm focal length range to be selected. There is no corner darkening regardless of the focus distance setting when the limiter is used on an APS-C body.
