It’s in the wild!

So, the end of July date happened!

The EF 8-15 f/4L Fisheye has landed at The Camera Store in Calgary, Canada. All 4 of the copies they had are spoken for.

Very interested in this lens, as on a full frame camera you can go from a true circular fisheye effect, to a very high quality ultra-wide.

It's been delayed due to the disasters in Japan, but looks to be shipping now as copies have arrived in Canada, and Hong Kong.

What an awesome looking bit of kit!

Definitely drool-worthy - and would extend my focal length nicely into the ultra ultra wide
