Q: 9. I'm using a full frame camera and am wondering if this lens is suitable for full frame video? I'm using a camera which can run at full frame or I can switch on the APS-C crop factor if I want. Is the vignette always visible when running at full frame?

A: Yes, the Canon EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM Lens may be used for full-frame video needs. On a full-frame camera, at the widest setting, the lens is a circular fisheye lens, but as you zoom in, it would become a rectilinear/rectangular fisheye lens. As stated in the Overview of the lens, a zoom-lock mechanism on the lens body allows the range to be limited to the focal length that ensures the best possible full-frame view without unsightly vignetting around the edge.
