Plus it's only viable if you shoot nikon. Because only nikon make a fisheye for their cropped sensor cameras, eg, everything below a D700. Canon only make a fisheye lens for cameras with full frame sensors eg 5D and upwards.
Thanks allot for that bif of info. Man.. I should of honestly bought a Nikon huh? What would be a legit site to get some lenses? Cause I know at camera shop they overprice..
To each their own. I prefer nikon, but thats cos I'm used to them. Canon have some amazing lenses that Nikon don't have, mostly out of anyones price range, but still. You CAN still buy the canon fisheye for your cropped camera, but you won't be getting the full effect of the fisheye with it.

canons are good too. they're both good. Don't forget about superwides (non-fisheye) as they can make some pretty cool effects, just got to play with them and get close.

I have 2 yashicas, a 35 and a MG-1 they are awesome, leica owners wank on about how silent their shutters are but yashica shutters are SILENT. great for street photography. I want to buy the yashica CC with the 35mm f/1.8 lens, you need the wider lens for street shit. get one of those if i were you theres a couple on ebay.
Not mine, but it's definately a clever shot.. [Broken External Image]:http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/5353/84341232651782475141457.jpg

per. those shots I posted were from sigma 10-20 f/4-5.6 It's for crop sensors only, but it works on my 35mm film slr. Lots and lots of vignetting, I guess you could crop it out if you wanted to.
