Does this lens provide a true rectilinear image, that is, without the corners bending?

This is fisheye so the image cant be rectilinear....corners are significantly bent.

Overall I am delighted with the image quality of this lens. I'd prefer to use the 24mm setting to minimize distortion in a group of people (if conditions permit). I use it mainly as a landscape lens and still use it extensively.

Yep works fine, pic quality though comes down a bit, but sure does increase the wide angle by a lot + fols look a lot thinner due to the curvature. :p

No, but I believe there is a wide angle "mode" in the options. That said, it's really not the same thing as a wide angle lens.

Keep in mind it's a fish eye lens (so some straight lines will be curved), this is to allow the exceedingly wide view. As long as you get the canon mount. It's identical (rebranded) to any Samyang, Rokinon or similar 8mm f/3.5 lenses. You won't have the focus confirmation ligth (as the lens isn't chipped) and the camera won't control the aperture (so when you stop down the view will dim), but everything else should work. They're fun lenses!

I don't disagree that it is intended for close objects. That being said, the image at distance is remarkably clear.

I do not find any distortion at all. It's truly a good image. I am very happy with my purchase.

It depends upon the lens (if it's a prime), and/or the focal length (if it's a zoom).I frequently use the excellent 35mm f/1.8 DX lens in FX mode on my D700. There is certainly some fall off at the corners, but it works well for my uses (location portraits, and indoor people events).

No, the image fills the frame on my full frame 5D Mark II. It's a really great UltraWide lens for full frames.

yes, but with the correct distance. I like to take different approaches to objects in landscapes or statues that are not very close. This is an affordable and very good lens. I like the photos that I take with this lens.

There will be some distortion, similar to any lens up through probably 25mm. It is very subtle if noticeable at all unless you are right up on the structure. Easily correctable in LR5. Nothing like UWA or FE for distortion.

On a Full Frame Camera it is a true 180 degree fisheye, at the 15mm end it is an ultra-wide angle lens but with some fisheye distortion, which you would need to correct in Photoshop with a plugin like Fisheye Hemi. Sample pics are at my blog, http://carfisheye.blogspot.com/

AF with the lens is very reactive, nothing to worry about. Excellent lens from every angle. I use it all the time.

I haven't but I can tell you this lens is very wide and appears to be coming from a very far distance. it might be a bit too wide & distant to really capture what you want but try it out and let us know how it comes out!

If your question is about Image Stabilization. The lens does not have this feature.

I haven't noticed any. Since its pretty good quality glass the direct view is distortion free for the whole lens. When I got this question I started playing with it and found no real distortion looking through at a angles up to 30 degrees and past the edge of the lens.

Hi Lieu, this lens does not have the Optical SteadyShot feature. Thanks_Mitch
