What about the Sigma 15mm f/2.8 fuul-frame fisheye on the N*kon? I use it on my 
D200, the angle of view is actually that of a 20mm-equivalent lens, and the 
distortion is not too pronounced (since you are only using the center of the 
frame): no "fish-eye look". this gives me a rather nice 20mm-equivalent prime 
lens.

That's what I thought briefly. But I did not find the viewfinder of the 5D to 
be as good as that of an OM-4. And honestly, I don't know about you, but I am 
almost 50, and autofocus does have its advantages...
