    Bryan,


    Just read the review. Have been excited to get your take on it ever since reading the product announcement. This lens is AMAZING! Can
    Adobe, give us courage to edit what photos must be altered, serenity to delete what cannot be helped, and the insight to know the one from the other.

    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.
