Given the 1.5 crop factor on Canon cameras the fisheye lenses really don't give the effect commonly associated with them. They tend to give a slight curve but not much.
In order to get the normal effect associated with a fisheye you would have to get an 8mm or 7mm fisheye which is going to either be impossible to find, or so specialized it costs you somewhere in the range of $1k - 1.5
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.

Well, a diagonal fisheye will give you the fisheye effect within a full frame, rather than a circular fisheye which will have a circle image within the frame, surrounded by black. Using a diagonal fisheye on a camera with a crop factor will cut off the edges but the fisheye distortion will still be there.
I personally went the cheapie route to get a fisheye because well, I'm cheap, and I wanted a circular fisheye instead of a diagonal. I bought a cheap Canon 22-55 mm zoom and a little fisheye converter thing that screws onto the filter threads of another lens. At the 22 mm end of the zoom it produces a full circular fisheye effect. This is with a 35 mm film camera. Total cost to me was like $150. It's not exactly the sharpest lens I've ever seen but for $150 it's plenty fine.
