I have had a couple of fisheye lenses in my long career with SLR's and have always considered them a lot of fun.
This lens is a no-brainer for any Nikon owner! It might not be the best lens Nikon ever made, but the quality to price ratio is unsurpassed.
A real eyeopener (litterally) and the start of my still ongoing wideangle craze
I've always liked two things in my lenses: wide angle and brightness. Combine the two and you have a winner!
