I've got some money burning a hole in my pocket and I think it's time for a new lens ;)

So....I saw this pic on another forum...

And it's made me really really want one!

I've emailed Mr Kerso for a price, can anyone else help convince me? :p

Go get one cause I said so :p

Can't wait to get one myself.

If you don't like it you will be able to sell it for almost what you bought it for, they are so special interest that they hold value well.

I love my Tokina 10-17 fisheye. If you want a fish on a crop body, go for the 10-17 or the Sigma 10mm. Anything else is a waste of time, in my opinion. With an 8mm fish, you will have to crop corners on every shot, and a 15mm fish isn't that wide on a crop.

The world of fisheye photography is difficult, but very cool. You get extreme width (it makes a 10mm rectilinear look practically telephoto in comparison.)

Phate, You are not allowed to post pictures that were not taken by you. I'm sure a moderator will ask you to remove that and replace it with a link shortly.

Trippy photos as well!

And with practice and certain locations allow for a beautiful UWA without the fisheye effect.

Take just 6/8 pictures and you have a 360x180 panorama for a VR movie.

For your camera the Sigma 10mm 2.8 is a great fisheye, I have one and I love it.

Can I put in my $0.02 NOT to buy one? A very limited use lens. Cool, but the novelty wears off.
