Verdict
Fisheye lenses are a matter of taste and the type of distortions
limits its scope to special effects. Other than that the Canon EF 15mm f/2.8
Fisheye is a very decent performer with high resolution figures and
good construction quality (apart from the cap design). However, there´re
some question marks whether the APS-C format doesn´t destroy most of the
fisheye effect. On a 1.3x and full frame DSLR the lens will make more
sense in this respect.
Another thing to consider may be that performance is not all that important
for a fisheye anyway. If someone admires a good fisheye image he admires
the effect and the composition - technical performance is more a side issue here.
