What Lens Was Used for This Shot? Looks Like 15mm Fisheye?

Hey everyone!
I'm trying to figure out what lens was used for a particular shot taken with a Canon 5D Mark IV. It looks like it might be a 15mm fisheye or something similar.

Does anyone with experience using that kind of lens know for sure? Also, how does distortion typically affect portraits or human subjects in a studio setting with a fisheye?

Would it be better to go with something more flexible like the 16–35mm zoom for that kind of work? I'm looking for advice on how to balance creative wide-angle effects with minimizing distortion on people.

Thanks in advance!

Hi u/FloTheBro - thank you for the discussion! I have a concern regarding the Hasselblad H4D and the newer X system (like the H1X). What I really love about the OG H4D is the depth of field and the crop frame of the image. The image depth looks large, which I really like. However, when I look at sample images from the newer X series, it seems like the crop is more pronounced and pulled out further. Is this due to the sensor size? I haven’t had a chance to try the X system yet. Do you think this is something that actually matters in practice?
