Anyone Considering the Panasonic 8mm f/3.5 ED Fisheye Lens?

Is anyone considering buying the Panasonic 8mm fisheye for the AF100? It's down to $753 now. I have the 20mm, 7-14mm and 14-140mm plus stacks of Zeiss Contax lenses. The 8mm is pretty niche (and expensive), but it could be a good lens for those occasional 'wow" shots on video.

I'd rent one instead. Unless you plan on using often, I'd say forget it. .

Too expensive, I would consider a 450 price range. I even make money out of filming action sport and this one is just overpriced.

Yeah it's expemsive. The image quality is better than the Korean 8 milli though. I'm not mad on hiring. Sometimes it's that one shot you need to pull the lens out of the nag at no notice. I'll keep pondering...
