Out of all the lenses I own the Fisheye has eluded my camera bag.
Well no more, I want one.
Who is using one? Pics, suggestions whatever would be appreciated.
I am between the Nikon 10.5 or the Tokina 10-17.

I almost bought one, here are a few quick shots I took with the Nikon 10.5 (which I'm sure you know equals about 16mm on a digital). I was using my new Nikon D80. It is very cool but is kind of limited in use. Maybe when I have a little more cash to blow...

I have one.
I have had it since 1997 and its still like new.

It was the second lens I bought straight out of college so needless to say I was eating tuna for a month back then so I could afford it.

Here are some of my shots with it.

While I appreciate having 180 degrees of view as in a full-frame fisheye, I haven't been able to justify buying such a lens yet. I'm just getting back from a week on the road for a Red Bull shoot where I thought I'd need one so I rented from Samy's (www.samys.com). Since I thought the assignment was going to be 10 days, I got it for a two-week rental which is going to run $120. Didn't use it every day, but did pull it out a couple times so it'll pay for itself.
