Widest is 15mm fisheye on 5D. I can often see my feet at the top of the frame when the camera is tilted up.

Longest is 400mm with 1.4x and 2x converters on 20D.

Are you standing on your hands? How do you hold the camera?

The longest I had on my camera was 500x2. However, nothing to show for it.

FL of 700mm has seen a minor relatively effective use here....a few times I tried 500s + 1.4xTC....always handheld.

I guess he meant tilted down? Otherwise I'm confused too.

Wish I could try the Sigma 4.5mm sometime. Must have wild effects.

Widest would be 18mm from my kit lens.

Maybe I exaggerated a little. But I have a fisheye picture with my car at the top of the frame when I was standing under a tree and pointing the camera up to get the fall foliage. The car was behind me. Obviously the camera was oriented vertically to see that far back. Maybe no feet, but I've seen the ground in back of me for sure.

My widest were Tamron 14mm SP (104 deg horizontal AOV on FF) and Zenitar 16/2.8 Fisheye (180 deg on FF diagonal). I recently sold both of them because I used them so rarely. I'm quite happy with the 17-40L and AT-X 17/3.5 that I still have.

Widest : Sigma 8mm Fisheye - first time this week
Longest : 300 2.8 w/ 1.4 TC or 100-400 but they're too very different lenses to shoot with

Disagree - got very decent shots at the long lens end with this setup, very sharp as long as it was not windy! Very decent for moon shots!

Widest: 8 mm Peleng fisheye lens

That is quite a combo to handhold (and focus).....BigMa x 2.
I'd be interested to see a sample or two, Nina.

Widest:
16mm on 1DmkIIn (1.26 crop)

Longest:
400mm + 2x (+1.4x, I think) on 1DmkIII

Longest bare lens:
600mm lens on either a 1.6x or 1.26x body

It was probably the 29k Sigma 200-500mm f/2.8.

Yeah, I think that was it. They had it at the Henry's show and they usually put a Rebel on the back of it as a joke, I think.

That's one lens I want to try a lot. 500mm f/2.8 must be amazing! It would be more amazing if it was IS/OS. But then again, it is probably too heavy to handhold anyway.

Has anyone here used Canon's 1200mm f/5.6L (at trade shows...or your own:)?
