What is a good price range to you?

The Bower/Samyang 8mm f/3.5 is the cheapest one that i'd consider:

Be careful, it's available for several different brands of cameras but these versions are not interchangeable.

You should definitely look out for a walimex/samyang (basically the same lens, only the names are different) 8mm f/3.5 fisheye. It is a really decent lens, especially when stopped down to about f/8 and it is also quite cheap. It's only disatvantage is, that it's fully manual, meaning you have to focus and set the aperture ring manually. But this is not a real problem, because you don't actually need to focus very precisely when shooting with a fisheye, since the dof is huge. Just one more thing: don't ever forget to stop it down as it is really awful wide open. Fisheye lenses weren't meant to be shot wide open anyway.
