Samyang 8 mm f/3.5 Aspherical IF MC fisheye lens

Samyang 8 mm f/3.5 Aspherical IF MC Fish-eye lens is designed for APS-C image sensor. This model fits Nikon mounts. It creates images with an expanded perpective, including images with a creatively deformed outlook and a sharp pan focus that extends throughout the entire frame. By offering 180 degree angle of view, this fisheye lens ca be used to create amazing image expressions that cannot be seen with the human eye, such as exaggerated perpective and disortion. The minimum shooting distance and large depth of field gives new meaning to close-up shots.

Canon EF 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye review at PhotoZone

The Canon EF 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye is one of Canon's few remaining lenses which were initially released back in mid to late 80s with the introduction of the EOS system. Fisheye lenses are rather odd beings which go in and out of fashion every once in a while. At the moment they seem to experience a renaissance regarding the recent release and/or announcement of the new Nikkor 10.5mm (Nikon DX) and Olympus 8mm (four-thirds). Unlike these two lenses the Canon covers the full 35mm format. Traditionally fisheyes are often used for aerial-, underwater- and some kind of indoor photography but beyond that they aren't usually terribly useful ... but still fun to use. Due to the uncorrected extreme field-of-view (180 degrees) the fisheye perspective can produce some oooohs and aaahs from your audience but it shouldn't be used too often in presentations because the effect of awe-inspiring vistas fades rapidly. Besides it isn't exactly easy to achieve a good composition.
