Canon EF 8-15mm f/4L USM Fisheye Lens Review: Performance & ImpressionsWe decided to spend a little more time with Canon’s new zooming fisheye lens to show you how it fairs on both an APS-C camera and a full-framer. The first five images in the gallery were shot using a Canon 60D (the rest of the gallery was shot using a 5D Mark II). All of the photos were shot RAW, some slight exposure adjustments and white balance corrections were made in Adobe Lightroom 3, before the images were exported as full-res jpgs. No cropping has been done.
