Canon EF 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye
The fisheye is a very fun wide-angle lens (180 degrees) to have if you have the extra money to spare. It gives you a cool effect that no other lens can give you by adding heavy barrel distortion to the center of the picture. It basically intentionally warps the picture in a spherical shape so that things in the middle are more magnified than things on the perimeter. This is great for large group shots at weddings or other events, to get everyone in the photo with a nice special effect. It's also great for closeups of people and adding a little flare to your everyday shots. Some might argue that you can recreate the same effect using Photoshop and a wide angle lens like a 14mm 2.8, but I would probably still get the lens. Great to have as part of your set, just don't overdo it with the fisheye pics.
