Hello all, I'm new here and I need an advice about the fisheye Canon 8-15. I'm creating virtual tours for many years, and up to now I've used a 5D Mk2 with and old, but still excellent, Carl Zeiss Distagon fisheye 16mm 2.8 (with adapter). Now I'm planning to renew my equipment, and I'd like to buy an 8-15 and a 5DSR, both used. My questions: 1) does anybody know if the Canon 8-15 (2010) is really way better than the old Distagon (1975)? I ask because this lens is still really good, even if so old, but my concern is that with a 50 mp camera it's pushed beyond its limit. 2) as I read that the 8-15 gives its best at 8mm, I wonder if I should move to a 5dsr or I better use my old 7D Mk2? In this way I could take advantage of the better performance at 8mm focal on the apsc sensor. 3) do you know where I can find any photo shot with a 5DSR + 8-15 at 15mm, just to evaluate the quality of that combo? Thanks a lot, Alessandro
You should be fine, that lens is quite sharp and a L series lens. I don't have it I picked up a rokinon 14mm instead. I have used that and my 17-40 on the 5dsr . Also you can google the lens and camera combo and get results for images... something like thist was top of google results....https://explorecams.com/photos/pair/canon-eos-5ds=canon-ef-8-15mm-f-4l-fisheye-usm
