    Default Fisheye lens for full frame

    Hi. Would like to know what are the choices for fisheye lenses for full frame. What is the best fisheye lens? Would prefer something below 1000 and prime or zoom lenses are alright!
    Thanks!

    Up your budget, consider the 8-15L.

    You can look at the Sigma 15mm fisheye. It's around 1k + at local shops.

    Do take note that the Canon 8-15mm produces a circular image at 8-13mm.

    With your budget, you can try the Tokina 10-17mm as well.

    The Tokina 10-17 FE can be use on FF if it zoom to 15mm onwards right? Anybody tested?

    I've used it on both my APS-C cam and FF cam. works well...

    On FF, it works well as a standard FE from 15mm-17mm. If you shave off the lens hood, you can use it on FF from 10-17mm... for those who wants to capture a totally circular FE image.

    Hi, thanks for the information. Where you can get the lens hood shove off?
