I’ve read the threads on the TTArtisans and Sigma fisheyes here. Has anyone else had any experience with fisheyes on L-Mount?
On M4/3, I have the Samyang/Rokinon 7.5mm/3.5 - the small one specifically reformulated for mirrorless, not the SLR-extended-mount one - and really like it. I don’t use it very often, mainly in shots where I can embrace the distortion creatively (see the pics at the end); but it’s nice to have for those.
I’d like to have something similar for L-Mount… but since I wouldn’t use it very often, I don’t want to spend a lot on one. The TTArtisans 11mm looks nice, but even that’s a bit more than I really want to spend. There’s a TTArtisan 7.5mm available for L-Mount, but I haven’t been able to find much on it - and all of the reviewers used it on other mounts. There’s an AstrHori 12mm fisheye; but it’s apparently pretty large and heavy, and again haven’t found any reviews of it on L-mount. Finally, there’s an AstrHori 10mm APS-C fixed aperture f/8 pancake, which is only $80 but has almost nothing in the way of reviews. (Not that I’d expect a whole lot for $80, but at least it’d fall into the ‘cheap enough to be fun toy’ category.)
Other suggestions?

I am going to try that
