Budget fisheye that is actually worth owning?

Ladies, Gents,

Are there any budget fisheye lenses that are worth buying?

I have a really old clip on fisheye from when I was a teenager, but my 550d with 18-55mm lens can't focus with it (and it's crap any way!!!).

Lens will be used for bmx/skate photos and general funky pictures.

Budget - up to maybe 80 quid ish.

Cheers.

Hmm, not sure about the extreme budget options. If you don't mind manual focus (rarely an issue with fisheye!) then you might want to double your budget and find a used Samyang 7.5mm.

I have a used Samsung 7.5mm and it's great. Manual focus is not an issue as until you get to less than 30 cm from your subject everything is in focus all the time anyway.

Cheers gents, will take a look at the lens you both mentioned.
