A: Yes. You can use the 8-15 mm lens with 5D.

Q: 2. Do I need to order a lens filter/ protector for this lens?

A: Due to the extremely convex design of the front of this lens, there is no means of connecting a protective type filter or any filter for that matter. With lenses like this there are considerations in the design and type of glass and coatings used to minimize any scratches. The front of this lens has many optical coatings for protection and with normal care and use you wont find the need to further protect it. Further you the supplied lens hood can help buffer any accidental bumps the lens may encounter.

Q: 3. Will this show up full frame on canon mark iii? i have a fisheye for mark iii and there is a black ring around the photo and i always have to crop the photo. please help whats the best fisheye for full frame canon mark iii?????

A: HiThis lens on the Canon full frame 5dIII gives a 180 degree view. The lens however comes with a metal protective slip on cover as no front filter can fit such a lens. You need to totally remove this front cover when the lens is in use otherwise you will have a black circle all around the edge of your images. A great lens for inside cathedrals and quite sharp at f8. Incredible DOF.

A: I've had this lens for a couple of years and mostly use it at the beach. It has a very unique look so not good for every session but definetly fun to play with.

Q: 9. I want to know the angle of view on a crop sensor such as the 7D. on a full frame it is 180 degrees, I want to know the angle of view, not the equivalent focal length (which is 23-24mm) Your answer must be in degrees, not mm. ?

A: Simple physics. That 15 mm lens behaves as a 1.6x longer focal length lens on a APS-C 7d body. Therefore divide 180 degrees by 1.6 = 112.5 degrees of view. For a crop body I would recommend a 10-20 or 10-22 mm EFS mount lens eg Sigma or Canon to get the same wide angle of view. Happy to talk more. I am just a very enthusiastic amateur. I own the Sigma 15 mm and have owned the Canon 10-22 mm EFS lens. I have a Canon 7dI but now mostly shoot with the Canon 5dIII. Go full frame and really go wide with the Sigma 15 mm at 180 degrees of real view. I now use a Canon 17-40 mm as my next wide lens for landscapes. The new Canon 16-35 mm f4 gets great reviews. I only own EF lenses now; mostly L series. Lenses are a lifetime investment.

Q: 10. Does this lens comes with lens hood in the box?

A: Yes, the Canon EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM Lens includes the lens hood in the box.
