Nikon AF 10.5/2.8G fisheye for DX-format (left) on a Nikon D300.
Samyang/Walimex/Rokinon 12/2.8 fisheye for full-frame bodies.
Both lenses offer a 180° angle-of-view (diagonally) and fill the frame on the respective bodies.

Here is the Samigon fisheye on an Olympus 50/1.8 lens on the Canon XTi. The Canon (50/1.8) lens works, but the plastic barrel does not like supporting this much weight... and autofocus and automatic diaphragm have no meaning when using this attachment.
I will be looking for a decent (but cheap) 35mm wide angle that I can adapt this to, to get the full circle image onto the sensor.
*** A little update: it looks like I will NOT be looking for a 35mm wide angle to use this on! It turns out that this adapter does not like wide angle lenses: I've found a 37mm MIR-1 and (yes, I did manage to find one in here) a 35mm Soligor, and the combination does not work. When you put it on even a moderate wide angle like the MIR, you get a very small, fuzzy edged circular image, and - big surprise here - the lens no longer covers 180 degrees! I haven't worked out what is going on optically here, but my first guess is that there's something in the light path in a retrofocus lens that doesn't work through this adapter (I'd already discovered that it doesn't like zooms). And since any 35mm lens on a DSLR will be retrofocus, I guess I'm stuck. I can get a full circle image on film, or cropped-off circles like I've been shooting so far on the Canon... or, with a 58mm lens behind it I can get a full frame with just a little cropping, or a clean full frame that doesn't quite hit 180 degrees with an 80mm tele as the prime lens.

Taken with my new Fisheye 2 camera, which seems to still be working despite me taking the whole lens apart and gluing it back together.
Always forget just how much light that camera needs to avoid dark shots.

Got myself a cheap fisheye conversion lens that screws onto my 35mm 1.8 lens, I took this set at work to try it out..........pretty darn FUN for only $50!

Olympus PEN Lite E-PL1 x M.Zuiko Digital 2.8/17 x Gizmon fisheye conversion lens
Got a new Rokinon 8mm f/3.5 lens a few days ago so thought I would take some shots around my neighborhood to test it out! Disney trip at the beginning of october! Excited to use it then!
Another shot of Bradbury Building interior. Shot with Rokinon 7.5mm fisheye lens and Olympus OM-D E-M1.
Nikon D700 + Nikkor 16mm Fisheye, @ f/5.6, ISO 6400, 1/80 sec.
I could not resist starting off the day with a fisheye shot inside this charming breakfast joint furnished in a retro 1950s style.
Amazing how well the D700 captured this at ISO 6400. At f/5.6, the lens is sharp at corners and edges.

Ok, couldn't resist this one. A true fisheye.
and btw the perfect circle is courtesy of PS fiddling, not the lens.
