p.1 #1 · On the market for a fisheye lens for the D600
I've used the 10.5mm Nikon on a crop sensor before so I know what I'm getting into. Just researching my options right now and wouldn't mind manual focus all that much, but if there's an affordable autofocus option I'd like that first.
If I could get a refurb Nikon 16mm I would jump on that since all of the refurbished D lenses I have are fantastic. Seems no one's selling though.

With the more affordable FX cameras available now (Nikon D600, Canon 6D), it could make sense for Samyang to offer an FX version of the excellent m4/3 and DX fisheyes they already make. That's what I am waiting for.

I found a beautiful 16/3.5 on the forums here. It was about half the cost of a new 16/2.8 AFD, and from what I can tell, it is as good if not stronger performer.

I LOVED my 16/3.5 on my D7000/600/800, and really regretting losing that lens when I decided to switch systems. (DTOB has my former 16/3.5 - see his pics above).
Very, very sharp, rich colours, just a terrific lens. I never tried the AF 2.8 to compare, but I had zero complaints about the 16/3.5.

The Russian-made Zenitar 16 is a blast on FX.. you can get one for less than $200!
One of the most underrated lenses ever, plus not a lot of people know about it.
Here's one on a D700:

the 10.5 is worth mentioning, if you chop the hood (I am going to on mine) it makes killer stuff, max simbron can chime in on it but its sharper and fishier than the 16
