Get some new perspective - the fisheye lens

Looking to add some fun lenses to your camera equipment collection

? There are a number of unique lenses that can let you be creative and experiment with your shots. Among some of the most interesting types of lens is the fisheye lens - letting you see the world through a fish bowl.

A revolutionary fisheye lens from Canon

In a world first, Canon has just introduced the EF8-15mm f/4L fisheye zoom lens that functions as a circular fisheye and full frame fisheye for full-frame sensor, interchangeable lens SLR/DSLR cameras. The lens now comes with zoom capability, so you can get close to your subject when using the fisheye effect. With an 8-15mm Optical Zoom, this new lens is great for camera enthusiasts and professional photographers alike. Have some fun with your images.

Fisheye tips

The fisheye features a particularly large field of vision that lets you fit more into the frame. The fisheye lens keeps the centre of your shot in focus while the rest of the image gets distorted. It introduces a concentric element to your photos which can add some dramatic - or hilarious impact.

Of course not every subject will work with a fisheye. Keep these points in mind:

- Fit more into frame - the fisheye lens lets your put more into frame as it has a 180 degree field of vision. This makes it convenient for interesting group shots in tight spaces to ensure that no one gets left out.

- Have a commanding subject matter -landscape shots won't work with this effect, you'll need a captivating foreground that can hold the viewer's attention. The fisheye introduces a concentric element that will significantly warp your background to the point where it could be unrecognisable. The fisheye works particularly well when photographing pets and animals.

- Fun - if you don't overuse it - when it comes to digital camera lenses, the fisheye lens should be used relatively sparingly to avoid the effect becoming tiresome to your viewers. If you're compiling a professional portfolio, one or two images using this lens will be more than enough.

Along with the recent release of the new EF8-15mm f/4L fisheye lens, Canon has released a slew of other professional high performance lenses for its range of DSLR cameras including two super-telephoto lenses and extenders - browse the range of digital camera lenses on the website.
