As it is 15mm fisheyes tend to cost $400+ and it really is a limited use lens for the most part.

Yeah I want one too but not until I get a full frame sensor camera so I get full use of the lens.
300d is 1.6 crop but the 16mm I got with the nikon seems to work well. but then again I didn't pay anywhere near $400
