Billy, I just bought this lens before I went to Japan:

Here are a couple example shots with this lens on my D80:







Its a wonderfull lens, but a bit on the high side. I'm still not done paying for that puppy. My next lens will be a true fisheye, probably this one:

http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-10-5mm-2...5397081&sr=1-1

There are also some nice options from Sigma and Tokina but for roughly the same price, I stick with Nikkor. F2.8 will give you a lot of flexibility in low light conditions, which for me, is important.

HTH,

What in the lens desription denotes how much of a bubble look the lense will give? I have noticed some have just a slight bubbleness and others more so (which is what I want).

Okay after doing a bit of reading it sounds like the lower the "mm" the more bubble effect? Is this right?

We need ol' Jofotoz to chime in here. He is one of the photographers!!!

Yes, my lens is a 14mm, aspherical lens, technically its an "ultra-wide angle", not quite a "fish eye". If you get say, a 10mm lens, you will get much more distortion. Like these (not mine):





What can happen with fish eyes though, is you might get vignetting, depending on the lens. Example:



In which case, you would have to crop the image. I prefer "full frame" lenses, but you start talking big money when you are looking for "full frame", like $600 and up, which I guess isn't bad when you are talking decent lenses...
