Nikon?

KR, does that mean Pentax and Ricoh?

I was thinking the same thing with the A setting - £220 is a bit rich for a completely manual lens. With a fisheye you're not likely to focus much but not having an A setting would put me off buying it.

Don't rule out the DA*300, if the 300 4.5 is better I'll be honestly staggered, I'm not sure what you'd have to do to beat the DA.

I often use it at f/4 because I can see no difference in sharpness wide open or stopped down (depth of field excepted of course), it focuses down to 4.5 feet, so I use it for flowers, butterflies and dragonflies too. Build quality's superb, it's weatherproof (has withstood several downpours)... I don't think I'll ever sell it, it's absolutely my favourite lens.

I know it's pricier than the 4.5, and a bit larger, but it's available...
