The Museum is a charity and we rely on your support. The light was perfect, he says, ‘with the sun setting over the horizon and on the opposite side, a new storm front approaching’. ‘In autumn, it snowed only twice.’ But on one of those occasions, Vladimir was able to get there in time to catch the brief lull just after one snowstorm and before the next. ‘In spring, the lake vanishes beneath the ice,’ he says. But that proved logistically challenging. An ultra-wide angle lens with strong uncorrected barrel distortion and extreme 180. It boosts light transmission, ensures sharp and high contrast images, minimizes ghosting and flares. Super Spectra Coating is applied to the surface of lens elements. ‘During the day, the light is too harsh.’ The solution, he decided, was to wait for a snowfall to soften the light. The lens is designed for Canon 35mm film SLR cameras with Canon FD mount. ‘On clear days, the light in the morning and in the evening is too weak to capture its beauty,’ says Vladimir. The milky turquoise-blue tint is caused by light bouncing off silt suspended in the water – glacial milk – the result of the grinding action of the glaciers that feed it. It also serves as one good 180 degree frame-filling fisheye for any of Canon’s various sensor-size cameras.Peyto Lake in Banff National Park, Canada, is renowned for its beautiful colour.

The lens adds convenience to photography by being two lenses in one with an instant manual focus override.

The Canon EF fisheye zoom lens 8-15mm f/4 L USM Ultrasonic is a super sharp lens that puts the ease of shooting either a circular or frame-filling photo in just a flick of the zoom ring for full frame cameras. The protective fluorine coating of the 8-15mm fisheye zoom lens effectively repels fingerprints, soiling, and smearing. A petal-shaped bayonet mount hood is also included.
Users would have to set the lens longer than 10mm to engage the switch. The zoom limiter switch stops the lens from zooming any wider than 10mm.
APS-C users can also utilize the limiter switch to avoid zooming in to corner-darkening focal lengths. Canon put “H” and “C” markings on the side of the lens to provide information to camera owners with the APS-C and APS-H models about the limitations of the lens’ focal length. The lens provides a partial circular fisheye result when the lens is mounted on APS-C and APS-H format camera bodies. The Canon EF 8-15mm f/4 L USM fisheye lens is designed for use on 35mm and full frame cameras however, it can also be used on all Canon cameras from the 1.3x and 1.6x range. The aspherical lens has an aperture range of f/4 to f/22. At 15mm and an infinity focus distance, only a little portion of the corners in the frame is cropped to make the circular image. A round image in the middle of a black frame is achieved for all Canon EOS full-frame and 35mm cameras at 8mm while at 15mm, a distorted 180 degree corner to corner image completely occupies the rectangular frame. Does it look to anyone else like the Canon and Konica lenses are the same According to Greg Weber the 15/2.8 Hexanon is the same as the 16/2.8 Sigma of the same era. The diagonal angle of view is still similar through most of the length of the focal range. I was looking at Canon lenses on eBay and I saw two 15mm f/2.8 Canon FD Fisheye lenses.
#Canon 15mm fisheye series#
This unique item from Canon’s series of lenses offers a combination of circular and full-frame fish eye in a singular lens, with an angle of view of 180-175 degrees 30 feet for full frame sensor cameras. The front elements are slightly protruding which prohibits the use of front filters but is still possible via a holder at the rear which accepts up to 3 pre-cut gel filters. The linear focus extension system causes the lens to extend or retract a little bit during zooming. The body of the lens is metal with smooth operating control rings. The lens itself is designed and constructed to par with the standards of Canon’s pride, the L series type of lenses. It also features an Ultra-low Dispersion glass for the suppression of chromatic aberration and a Sub-wavelength structure coating for reduced ghosting since fisheye lenses are prone of producing flares. Manual focusing is fast and easy while the autofocus is fast, quiet, and exact with a closest focusing distance of 0.16m. The zoom and focus controls are moderately dampened and easy to grab. Shooting ergonomics with this lens is superb. The lens itself weighs 540 grams and is 46 grams more with the plastic hood and front cap.
