It's basically an effects lens, not a rectilinear wide-angle substitute.

I hate that term.  Fisheye is not an effect and I usually shoot my fisheye shots so you can't easily tell it was taken with a fisheye.  And it can be a rectilinear ultrawide substitute.  I just finished comparing the 8-15 at the long end to my 17-40L on full frame.  Very similar.
