Features for Canon EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM
Circular or full frame Fisheye
zoom lens
There’s no need to buy two specialist lenses when the EF 8-15mm
f/4L Fisheye USM offers, either full frame or circular fisheye
images when used with cameras with a 24x36mm (full frame) sensor.
For photographers shooting with DSLR’s with a smaller sensor, full
frame fisheye images are possible. With a 180 diagonal field of
view, capturing the whole scene in a single image has never been
easier.
L-series quality
The L-series is Canon's flagship professional lens range,
representing the best in precision-designed EF optics. L-series
lenses combine superior performance with superlative handling, and
are highly resistant to dust and moisture.
Fast, quiet auto focus
A ring USM (Ultrasonic motor) uses ultrasonic frequency
vibrations to drive extremely rapid auto focus with near-silent
operation. A high-speed CPU and optimised AF algorithms contribute
further to AF speed. Full time electronic manual focus override is
available without having to switch out of AF mode.
Enhanced image quality with SWC
coating
Designed for use in digital photography, Canon’s patented
Subwavelength structure coating helps minimise the ghosting and
flare caused by internal reflections. By eliminating the cause, the
coating reduces reflections and helps to deliver crisp, clear
images.
Easier lens cleaning
The foremost and rearmost lens surfaces are treated with a
Fluorine Coating which enables the easier cleaning of the lens
surface compared to existing coatings.
