A FF fisheye this size would be to die for (especially with F2.8 aperture)! I've used my EF8-15/4L as an extreme wide on occasions where bringing the EF11-24/4L was impractical. It yielded excellent sharp results after defishing with wider field of view than 11mm. Once in a while I've used the fisheye effect for the final output but that's not usually my thing.

Either way, thanks for sharing your results. Looking forward to seeing the great shots the DPR community will generate with this little gem. I got mine today and took it out for a quick try (it's overcast here). The excellent MFD allows unique compositions. Sorry not to have anything artistically interesting yet...

Hard to tell without doing a side-by-side but I think the RF14-35/4LIS has better color saturation. That said, I don't see any serious issues at all. Certainly doesn't seem to have that slight but noticeable yellow/green cast the RF50/1.8 suffers from (yea, I know it can be fixed in post).

Also, I didn't see anyone mention this but (not surprisingly) the RF50/1.8 hood fits this lens perfectly without any additional vignetting as far as I can tell.
