Got a Nikon FC-E8 off eBay for about £100 from the USA. I wanted to try out fisheye, thought a lomo converter would be useless so opted for one of these.

It's very temperamental, to get it properly focussed you need as high an aperture as possible and so far I've only been able to fit it acceptably onto the end of a kit lens with a step down ring (both lens diameter a focal length need to be taken into account)

hmm you can get the Russia Zenitar fisheyes for under £100 on Ebay. Manual focus admittedly, but it is a complete lens...
