Fish Eye lens

Looking for some recommendations for a cheap, quality fish eye lens (preferably canon or nokia). Any ideas?

Full frame definitely but I have a letus (for me i hope I'm not high jacking this thread)

There are some new circular fisheyes that are really great for as little as $800.00 new.

As far as full frame, the Nikon 16mm 2.8 D would be the lens that you want http://tinyurl.com/2ahfq9 it will cost you $769.00 new

You want the peleng 8mm. If thats too wide try a Russian 16mm....

Ebay it.

hunter,

do you have an visual reference for each of those lenses? I would like to see what the result is for the 8mm vs 16mm

i have the russian zenitar 16mm and it works great on my Letus Extreme. Cheap glass, bought mine new from ebay for like 125 euros. I can try to post footage in a few days if anyone is interested to see...

these come in different mounts, find the mount you use either nikon, eos, or other.

I like that 16mm look much better. Will 8mm always have that border from the lens? I was using this image for 16mm reference (your link was busted):
