Even 2nd hands ones go for about £300

I use a Sigma 15mm F2.8 and love it

You like your Sigma? I've heard alot of negative things about Sigmas so I've never purchased one. It's comforting to see this; they're much more affordable.

Ive used the nikkor 10.5mm fish, i thought it was amazing. Wish they didnt have such a high price tag, but im sure ill pick one up eventualy, i would rather have fisheye distortion than SWA distortion (from 10-20mm) in my skate shots.

why are they so expensive though?

 

[JimmyO]

Same reasons all lenses are expensive. Plus, when trying to get a unique look you have to use special designing and construction. If you want cheap you can get one of those screw on fisheyes

Thats pretty much how they look, besides the pushed colors and sharpness probably.

Here are some of mine:

to be honest for a cheap solution it gives out a decent product...and people sometimes like crap quality, it gives effect sometimes
