This is what I ordered this evening:

The Sigma 15mm F/2.8 fisheye.
I was looking at the Nikon 16mm fisheye, but with very close performance numbers between the two lenses, 1 incredibly important full mm more for the Sigma (lol), and at almost 1/2 the price, this was the best option for me. On top of that, it's a FX lens that will give me the full fish eye effect on my D700.
Let's face it, no one uses a fisheye all the time... it is a limited use specialty lens, but the effects are fun, unique and add to my pleasure. That alone was worth the price of admission!
I expect it to arrive sometime next week, I am looking forward to some stinky fishy kinda photos! :D
