Digital Cameras Ratings: MC 2.8 16mm lens for Canon EOS Canon 5d Canon 20d Canon 30D Rebel XT Review

Average Reviews:
4.0 out of 5 stars

(More customer reviews)This is a solid, good quality fisheye lens for the Canon EOS (EF mount) camera system. First though, it's manual focus, manual aperture diaphram, and does not communicate with the camera body. So you need to set the aperture after opening it wide to focus, and you need to calculate the exposure as well. If that's all fine with you, then this is a good cheap fisheye lens. Worth the extra trouble for those very occasional shots that you want 180 degree coverage. That coverage is for a full frame sensor or a film camera. 16mm is not so impressive on a cropped-frame sensor camera. In fact, the basic cheap zooms tend to go down to about 18mm.

Okay, so you have a full frame Canon, and are willing to deal with the manual aspects, this would give you a good quality image stopped down, at f/16 the image is perfect to my eye, zoomed in. And a good build quality as well. These lenses are also made for Nikon bodies.
