[OM] Fisheye confusion

  Poking around on the bay for fisheye lenses, I find one place selling 
two different things:

  item 7563223184 is a 8mm/f3.5, which is what I'd expect a fisheye to be.

  but what, then, is item 7563223339 ? It's apparently 16mm/2.8 fisheye 
-- but how can that also be a fisheye if the 8mm lens was? Is fisheye 
just "not rectilinear"? And also the auctions claim that the 16mm one 
has a 180 degree FOV, and also that the 8mm one has a 180 degree FOV. 
I'm confused -- what's going on here?
