The new 8-15mm L
It's available since July.
How much do you want (or rather, are you prepared) to spend on it?
Sigma do a couple of pretty good fish-eyes, and they're a lot cheaper than the Canon.
All my photos are taken with recycled pixels.
Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom, is knowing not to serve it in a fruit salad.
I plan on getting the canon 15mm f/2.8
no brainer for me. the 8-15 would be great, but i can't justify double the price tag.
plus it's one stop faster, bonus!

the 15mm f/2.8 is nice. For $550-600 second hand it is pretty good, very sharp at 2.8 in the centre. I am not sure I could justify the pricetag of the L for such a specfic lens
1DIII, 5DII, 15mm fish, 24mm ts-e, 35L,135L,200L,400L,mpe-65mm
Film: eos 300, pentax 6x7
Which one?
8mm F/3.5 EX DG Circular Fisheye
15mm F/2.8 EX DG Diagonal Fisheye
If the former then I agree, there’s not much else going; if the latter, then I would rather buy a new EF15F/2.8, before the market dries up.
I suggest you should try both of them shooting into the light - that's where I noticed the difference: and where the Canon shines, IMO.

wouldn't get that 8-15mm for your ff unless you want some nice back edges around your photo when you're shooting zoomed out.
I think it's better on a crop.
Bought A Sigma 15mm EX DG Fisheye online for $658, The lens is super sharp amd the auto focus is fast and smooth, If you are looking for an extra wide angle lens that has just a nice gentle fisheye effect, I do not think you could go far past this one. Very highly recommended.
