Fisheye lens
I am thinking about getting a fisheye lens. Does someone has experience with this lens? Any suggestions are helpful.

4. I rented one once
when I needed to shoot an office layout from overhead. They're kind of expensive for limited use.

You might see if there is a place you can rent one to try it out.

9. I use the Lensbaby Fisheye Optic
The problem with a fisheye lens is that you honestly don't ever use it as much as you first expected to but the beauty of the Lensbaby system is that you have a whole collection of optics to play and be creative with, that said the fisheye optic is $150 making it one of the highest priced optics in the system but way under the price of any good fisheye lens.
