@Im Not You
IINM it's the stroboscopic function found in some higher end flash units. IIRC the 580EXII or SB900 has it.

Getty Images Model and Property Releases
At Getty Images we have developed a range of model and property releases for our photographers and filmmakers to use when supplying their images to us. These are now available for all photographers to download and use.
Why use a release?
For any image to be available for commercial use a release is required for any recognizable people or property in the image.
A release is a written permission from an individual or property owner allowing the use of that person's likeness or property (for example, a private home, a place of business, a copyrighted work of art, or in some cases, an animal) in an image for commercial purposes. (Generally speaking, commercial use means a use that is intended to sell a product, raise money or promote or endorse something.) Right-to-privacy, right-to-publicity (in the case of celebrities), trademark, and copyright laws require that you have releases if the images are to be used for commercial purposes.
Benefits of using Model and Property Releases:
Getty Images model and property releases are designed to clearly indicate that the model or property representative grants his or her permission to use his or her likeness or property for commercial uses. This legally binding document helps models, photographers and the client or end user of the image by ensuring that each is aware of what has been agreed to.
Our releases are designed:
* For ease of use with clear, everyday language
* To be legally binding
* To be irrevocable
* Containing clear reference to pornographic and defamation exclusions
* To include definitions for clarity
* With a global standard for consistency, with the exception of France, which has specific requirements (see explanation on the French model and property release page)*
* To relinquish further claims by a model/owner, including all claims to further payments
How to complete the releases
The Model release should include (where possible):
* Model's name, contact details and signature: we strongly advise obtaining the model's phone number and e-mail address should contacting the model later becomes necessary
* A Polaroid photo, spare transparency or print of the model or property attached to the Release
* Name of photographer
* Date
* Consideration agreed by model/property owner (for example, model's day rate or payment)
* Minor Releases: information should be provided by the legal guardian of the minor model and must be signed by the legal guardian, not the minor
* Ethnicity: Presented as optional to the model, these fields capture information that if used as keywords associated with the images should add greater marketability to them
* Shoot Ref: may be excluded if you don't use shoot references to organize and locate your original releases (all original releases should stay with the photographer, but be easily retrieved if necessary)
The Property release should include (where possible):
* Information provided by the authorized signatory for that property. Information on what property is being released (i.e. the private home, the statue that is protected by copyright). Only one information box need be completed depending on whether the authorized signatory is an individual or a corporation
* Any other relevant info as per the model release above
NB: The releases and the information provided on this page are consistent with Getty Images practices and policies, and in no way constitute legal advice.

Holy crap.....a fisheye zoom L lens!!!!
London, UK, 26 August 2010 – Canon today unveils the world’s first fisheye zoom lens offering both circular and full frame images, thanks to an extreme wide-angle focal range of 8-15mm. Replacing the EF 15mm f/2.8 fisheye, the new EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM is the latest addition to Canon’s L-series range of professional lenses, providing outstanding image quality, constant aperture throughout the zoom range and a robust design for reliable shooting in challenging weather conditions.
When paired with Canon’s full-frame DSLR bodies, such as the EOS 5D Mark II or the EOS -1Ds Mark III, professional photographers can choose to capture circular or full-frame fisheye images, allowing them to view a scene in a completely new and unique way. This new level of choice provides enhanced creative flexibility when shooting scenes such as the night sky, where the full 180º horizontal and vertical fields of view (FOV) allow every detail to be captured with incredible clarity in one single image.
When used with EOS bodies featuring APS-C or APS-H sensors, the EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM produces a more traditional, full frame fisheye view. 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. ‘C’ and ‘H’ markings can be found next to the zoom operation ring, indicating the wide-angle zoom position where vignette-free shooting is possible with either sensor, allowing photographers to achieve optimum results with any EOS body.
Advanced optics for professional imaging
The EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM showcases over 70 years of Canon’s optical engineering heritage, boasting 14 lens elements in 11 different groups, including one aspherical and one Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) element to correct chromatic aberration and produce high-quality, high-contrast shots with excellent colour reproduction.
Ghosting and flare caused by strong light sources can be a particular challenge when shooting at such a wide angle, and, in order to counteract these artefacts, all lens elements have been covered with Canon’s Super Spectra Coating. The inner surface of the front element also features Canon’s SubWavelength Structure Coating (SWC), which uses tiny cone-like structures, shorter than the wavelength of visible light on the surface of the lens element, to gradually slow light down until it is at the same speed as it travels through glass, removing the risk of flare occurring before the light reaches the sensor.
To maintain optimum image quality, the front and rear lens elements also feature a Fluorine Coating which actively repels water, dust and dirt, making it easier to clean the lens and leaving it unobstructed by particles.
Fast, accurate focusing and low light performance
The ultra-wide angle zoom of the EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM offers a fresh take on sporting action or architecture shots, while the constant f/4.0 aperture allows faster shutter speeds to be employed for natural-looking images in low light.
A ring-type ultrasonic motor (USM), provides quick and accurate focusing when shooting and enables a full-time manual focus functionality allowing photographers to adjust the focus of any shot, even when the AF system is activated, for even greater control over image capture and improved creative flexibility.
Built for professional performance
The EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM features a high-grade physical design that reflects its elite performance. High resistance to both dust and water enables it to be used in a range of challenging situations, and, when used with a professional EOS body, it allows continued shooting in the harshest weather conditions. The external design also features the new exterior texture, for a high quality look and feel indicative of all new L-series models.
High quality accessories
The EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM is supplied with a dedicated lens cap, lens pouch and a felt-lined lens hood EW-77 for use when using the zoom at the 15mm setting, preventing lens flare.

What is the price of that fisheye? It would take me two years to save up for that probably. I could get crazy wide shots though on my crop T2i.

I think the L lens would work best on a crop frame more so then a full (maybe I am just not a fan of the circular fisheye shots). But 8-15mm on a crop is perfect instead of say Tokina's 10-17mm. You get crazy distortion at like 8mm and at 15mm, it would look more so like a wide angle. I am thinking the lens will be at least around $1500 or more. It would be great if it was even just at about a $1000 but I doubt it.
Can someone explain something to me that I have never really figured out? Do apertures on a L lens differ from non-L lens? How can this lens be fast for low lit areas when it is only a F/4?
And some shots from the canon site on a full frame:

Congrats homie. I'd use a 85mm or a 70-200mm. Post some photos after.

People at Transworld skate went to the Rock The Bells in LA. Took some decent pics with a 5D Mark 2 and EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM.

@fongstarr & juggy
the lens is priced at $1,400
read it here > http://www.electronista.c...isheye.lens.sets.record/
but i'd probably wait for confirmation from one or two other sites at least
