which fisheye would you recommend

[MrObvious]

hi guys, I've been looking into fisheyes, mainly just for urbex and occasionally festival stuff. I'm not looking to spend serious ££££££ so a cheap one will do. I already have a tokina 11-16mm 2.8, but on my last visit to RHH, i discovered the 11mm isn't always enough.

feel free to post sample photos, links etc, the more the better to help me decide

Edit: I use a Nikon D7100 (crop) CMOS Sensor, i dont mind a manual lens either.

Muchas Gracias

Ive got a Samyang 8mm fishy. Got it second hand for £165 from CEX, I see they are going for £135 now with a years warrenty. Cant complain at that

seems samyang is the weapon of choice these days, looked into them a while back but the limited use drove me away, invested in the Sigma 8-16 instead

I use the Samyang 8mm too and I would heartily recommend it!! Can't go wrong at the £££

Also if you shoot Nikon you have an advantage over Canon - you get the full 180 degree coverage as opposed to 167 which I had on these examples:

Some sound advice there

Defo the Samyang 8mm, love it on my Canon, there is limited use for it andplease don't over use it, but its fecking awesome!!

Yep, Samyang 8mm here as well, love that lens!

Same here, Samyang 8mm. Top lens!

I also have the Samyang 12mm F2.0 Ultra wide angle lense, which is even better IMO.

Btw, I would also consider the Sigma 8-16mm UWA, not a fisheye but damn what do I love that 8mm!
