I've got two Sigma fisheyes in OM mount: the 8mm F4 and the 16mm F2.8. I
think both are around $200 used.

The 16mm only covers 180 degrees at the diagonal of the frame, and is not
very good at corners. The 8mm (circular image) performs better, but it
isn't a stellar performer, though.

There are two Russian fish-eyes (8/3.5 and 16/2.8, IIRC) somewhat less
expensive, but I have no experience with them. The 16mm looks the same as
my Sigma.

Hope this helps,
