Wow wow wow, i want one of these! 
Superb cracking images here from all of you.
Was considering 12-24, got the Sigma 10-20 but the fishy looks amazing.
May/will have to reconsider this.

odd ones from me




it's a good lens to play with and i'm still working out when and how to get the best out of it.
Pentax k100d, k30d 18-55, Tamron 70-300, Tamron 500 mirror, pentax 10-17, 50 1:4, a manual 28, some extension tubes and a bagful of memory cards. That's all i need... and a load of film cameras too... that's it, honest.

At the risk of looking like a mutual appreciation society, I'm loving yours too Darkmunk.
If you're going to shoot fisheye, you have to embrace the distortion & get real close to a smaller subject, or right into your surroundings if taking a wider view.
I did use the 10-17 alot, but I'm wondering now whether to get a 180 degree fisheye or an ultra wide rectilinear with close focus. I'll still be able to play with perspective distortion but won't take in so wide a view... hmmmm
