Didn't canon just come out with an 8-15mm fisheye?


dont know, not into fish eyes
but if so it would be considered fish as it is below 10mm imo

isnt it called fish eye, if it is made with certain lens shapes?
i dont think there is a certain focal length on which you can call a lens fisheye or wide angle.
a 10 mm lens has a large angle, but a 10 mm fish eye has an even larger angle, and a lot of distortion.

i dont even know if this was contributing to the topic.

yeah i think this is true
but i dont think you can get +-180 deg angle of view without having an extreme convex lens

Yes they did, I tried it! It's insanely wide!
