Cheapest thing to do is buy a 'fisheye adaptor' - a screw-in attachment
that threads onto the front of a lens and increases the field of view.
I've got a 'Sunagor 0.42x super-wide' adaptor which I picked up for
about 15 pounds, and attached to my Tokina 28/2.8 lens it gives me a
circle frame fisheye at a fraction of the cost of the Zuiko. Here are a
couple of example shots:

And a silly shot of a friend of mine trying out his 'camera'!

dropped into my local camera shop today. They had just got in a 16mm f3.5
zuiko - had a look - wow! I want one. Amazing field of view and such a tiny
lens. Unfortunately they want 750 UKP!!! No thanks!
So are there any cheaper alternatives?
Also, it has a neutral rather than UV filter - does that make it the later
type? Is it just neutral in colour or is it a neutral density filter? I
don't shoot b+w so the other filters wouldn't be used.
