Testing out the new Canon 8-15mm fisheye lens

tlr · 11-11-2011, 02:31 PM

This lens is fun...

What specific lens is that? Also what body? Nice range.

Did I hear a radar detector ? Looking kinda dreary in San Fran today.

It's on a Canon 7D.

Yeah, V1.

And yeah, winter is setting in here, unfortunately. Great weather the last couple months though.

Exhaust sounds pretty good in the cabin. What are you running? Still using the cut-outs?

disapr · 11-11-2011, 02:57 PM

What did you mount the camera with? Nice and stable.

E90///M3` · 11-11-2011, 03:01 PM

oh hai... i know where you live now. lol j/k

how did you mount the 7D with the fisheye in the car? are you using window suction cups?

wish i could take my car back up to the city... just haven't had a chance to drive back up there in the M for work.

It's mounted on the windshield using the SHAPE Mountain 5100 suction mount: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...a_Support.html

It does vibrate a little bit though, I need to figure out how to stabilize it even more.

Yup, cutouts.

I assume that those are a lot more stable than the GoPro mounts..

What would be nice is two of those with a cross bar/mount in between.

I'd be interested to see how one would hold up on the outside of the car at high speeds.

Something like this would probably be more stable, especially on the outside. Not sure I'd trust a single suction cup on the outside...

very nice, picture of your rig setup in the car please!

Loks pretty good. You were able to capture the Fox Red interior color nicely!

+1, better than most pictures that are available online.

Sweet lens!

Nice. I used to have a 10mm fisheye and this one is on my wish list.
