The 16/3.5 fisheye lenses are quite easy to find. There's usually one or two
on Ebay at all times. All you have to do is pay $5-600 and it's yours. They
amost never go for less than $500 unless something is wrong with them.
If you want to experiment with fisheyes and can't/don't-want-to pay the price
for the excellent little Zuiko, try getting a Sigma 16mm fisheye in OM mount.
They're much harder to find than the Zuiko, but are almost the same as far as
performance, especially at f/5.6 or f/8. The downside is that the Sigma is
about 3 times the Zuiko in size/weight. But it does have a hood, which the
Zuiko does not have. I paid $150 on a BIN auciton on Ebay. My advice is to
setup an email alert from Ebay when they come up. That's how I found mine.
