Is the Peleng 8mm a good fish eye?

This fish eye I seen around, its got a nice short focus range, and pretty cheap im wondering if any one think these are good?.. I like the Nikon 10.5mm f/2.8G lens best for fisheye, but its a shame I dont have a Nikon

I read the reviews a few weeks back and the consensus was that the Peleng was marginally better than the Zenitar 16. I've used neither.

i like my zenitar 16mm and I like it. the aperture has gotten stuck a couple of times, but it knocked loose and is fine now. never heard of anyone else with this problem. maybe it's just my imagination. anyhow, that peleng is pretty popular for folks on a budget that just want to experiment with fisheyes. you can always get an autofocus one if you like it enough to justify the cost differnce. you probably wouldn't have ahard time selling the peleng if you ever wanted to upgrade.

Ahh the wonder of "search" buttons, I wonder when people will discover it's joys and benefits...

In fact here, it's even better, you don't even have to "search" to get the benefits! Just scrolling down this message to the bottom of the page, up to the "Similar Threads" could be amazingly enlightening !
