If you want to go relay wide for a reasonable price , check out the Samyang 8mm Fisheye Lenses.

I have the t/3.8 which is the video FX version but there are a variety of mounts and a new f/2.8 in Fuji and Sony mounts.

They are manual focus but at 8mm there isn't much to worry about and costs are around $400US.
The quality of mine is good with the D600 and most of the reviews on recent Samyang lenses are very close to other brands costing 3 to 4x as much.


Did they sort out the problem that lens had with earlier Nikon bodies where the lifting mirror was catching on the lens inner mount?

I seem to remember hearing of some disasters with the D1X mirror smashing into the rear element.
