I just ordered the Fisheye Macro Port without sunshade from Seacam, Then I can use it with 8-15mm on either full frame or cropped cameras, as it is only the port's sunshade that eliminates its functionaity on a full frame camera.

Tonga for whales or any free dive scenario, this system rocks.

I used the standard pro viewfinder so I could more easily see the LCD for video and to minimize weight, and it was like swimming with a point-and-shoot. That provided perceptibly less water resistance than the same housing/port with sunshade.īut, swimming with the Seacam Prelude 60D and the Fisheye Macro port was so effortless. As you know, that's simply unscrewing 3 Allen screws on each port shade, so it takes very little time and no expertise. I also had my own Seacam for a 5DII, but I removed the sushades so I could use the 8-15mm in circular fisheye. The sunshades provided significant water resistance. Swimming after whale sharks using that was like pushing a sea anchor. Speaking of ports and pelagic animals, I had a buddy shooting with a 5DII with Seacam superdome and sunshades. But, with fisheye macro port it will be much closer than conventional Canon or Sigma 15mm. I was using single-servo AF and it never locked me out on AF, so I don't know how close it will really go. So, I could see that I was like 4" away from mouth at that point. I didn't have my eye to viewfinder, just swimming along with housing alongside the shark. Paul - The shot above was done with the Seacam 60D housing and macro fisheye port almost touching the whale shark's mouth. In the Red Sea it will be fabulous, and very versatile. Fisheye lenses are rather odd beings which go in and out of fashion every once in a while. Really an essential lens for any Canon shooter interested in wide-angle using a cropped sensor lens. The Canon EF 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye is one of Canon´s few remaining lenses which were initially released back in mid to late 80s with the introduction of the EOS system.
I know it will be ultra-productive for you and the boys. Have fun in Canada! I got back into cold water this summer in Alaska after 7-years off drysuits, and I'm hooked again. I haven't tried it with my MKIV yet, but as this is the only way to get 180-degree fisheye with that 1.3 crop, it is a no-brainer for me to have this lens. But, on the 60D with 1.6 crop, it was useful throughout the zoom range, similar to the Tokina 10-17 on a cropped sensor camera. On full frame camera I was always racking to one end or the other.

You can download the full size version of all photos, both in post processed version and untouched version.Thanks Alex, and you are absolutely correct. These are some sample photos taken with the Canon 8-15mm, used on 1DsIII and 7D. I have tried with a postage stamp and the result is amazing, even though image quality is not great. With the extension, the 8-15 become able to focus even things placed on the front element!!! Of course, it has very limited practical applications, because unless your subject is semi-transparent it will be impossible to illuminate it in any way. You can go even further: this lens is compatible with the Canon 12mm Extension Tube, for even more magnification. The areas that are within the depth of field are very sharp. You can see the result between the image samples :-) Remember that in spite of the focal lenght, the depth of field is always very thin at high magnifications, so even with the fisheye you need to stop down a lot if you want to get the entire subject in focus. The image above shows the 8-15 used at miminum focusing distance (on Canon 7D). It is not easy to use, but it can give incredible results! You get real macro magnification, but at the same time you have the perspective, angle of view and background typical of fisheye lenses. The lens almost touches the subject - remember that the minimum focusing distance is 15 centimeters from the sensor, so the actual working distance (distance between the front element of the lens and the subject) is about 1 centimeter. Taking macro photos with a fisheye is really cool. If you use it on APS-C, you can get approximately the equivalent of a 1:1.8 ratio! If you want a lens for macro photos with "environment" into background, this lens is simply the best. A very interesting aspect of the 8-15 is that it has amazing macro capabilities: it can focus as close as 15 centimeters, and it gives an impressive 1:2.6 macro ration on fullframe cameras. This lens has the fast and silent ultrasonic AF motor AF is very fast, as you can expect from an extreme wide angle with USM.
