Fisheye Help

If you guy had a choice of a good Fisheye for a toy what would it be?

MC Zenitar 16/2.8 Fish Eye 16mm for 165.00 to my door, or the Pentax 10-17/3.5-4.5 smc P-DA ED IF Digital Fish-eye for 385.95 to my door?

Have seen some great images from the 10-17 as well ... also the de-fished images looked great too.

The Zenitar for me.
I've seen so many good photographs taken with and the price still amazes me.

If I had a bigger budget I'd get a Sigma 8mm F3.5 EX DG Circular Fisheye.

I have used the 10-17 as well, and it's a fun lens to use. Not to mention that the image quality is still great.

I've owned both. They both are good quality lenses, but I kept the 10-17, and sold the Z lens, because you can get more of the FE effect with the Pentax lens.

The Zenitar and use the $220 balance towards another lens, maybe the 12-24. I own the Zenitar and it's a GREAT little lens. Especially when you figure it's so much less expensive than the 10-17.

The 10-17 is very flexible and I got mine for $100 off :-)
