I am looking into the Rokinon f/3.5 8mm fisheye for my D5000. The B&H
reviews look good and it is much less expensive than Nikon's 10mm
f/2.8. B&H sells it for $299 without the focus confirm chip and $329
with the focus confirm chip.

FYI, it's on sale to 229 unchipped and 249 chipped.

Note the chip is for autoexposure/WB and focus CONFIRMATION. However,
this still is a manually focused lens.

Saw that in B&H's email. Tempting.

Now $214 unchipped and $229 chipped, free ground shipping. Just noted
this apparently isn't the same as the $329 lens. The cheaper ones have
a built in petal hood while the more expensive one 's hood is
removable.
