When I first purchased this lens some years ago, I remember using it at my first wedding and hardly taking it off the camera! Now, I would say I only use it once or twice during a wedding because my style has changed so much.
I shoot primarily very large groups of more than 70 people with the 15mm Fisheye. The largest group shot being 500. Optically, it is probably the best fisheye available, although it is somewhat wasted in my bag; however, it’s a great little lens to have for the right situation!
These are my opinions on how I use this lens every day of my life. If it feels good in my hands, then I use it! This equipment is an extension of my eye and how I see my world and the social world within which I work. That was why I started to use Canon products more than 20 years ago. If a piece of equipment allows you to capture your vision, then use it. It is only when a piece of equipment is a hindrance that you should change it.
