Since the 5D is a full frame sensor it's a true 16mm to 35mm. Even at 16mm you don't get the exaggerated distortion of the fisheye on medium to long range subjects (although you do have some barrel distortion on subjucts close up). In all the non 5D and 1Ds (1D less than Mark IV) camera with APS-C and APS-H cropped sensors the effective focal length of the 10-22mm lens works out to be about 16-35mm (of which you can't use the 10-22mm on a full frame sensor body). I've got a question, has anyone used a long throw sports reflector on an high powered Elinchrom Ranger RX or Profot 7b strobe from shore or on a pier? Similar to how snowboard and ski massive air shots are done. Obviously the break would have to be relatively close to shore or the pier. @Jake, Look into the 16-35mm f2.8 L II.

I have been using a Canon 15mm fisheye on a Canon 5d in SPL housing for nearly a year now and love it... However, I want to get another lens. what do you suggest for the best surf photography in the water? Check out my photos www.jakemoorephotography.co.uk/gallery_292113.html and you will notice most curve with the fisheye. is there a better lens for this? thanks!
