here's cheap wideangle lens they make them for both canon/nikon, only downside it doesn't have an autofocus, but the optics are apparently really good , I know I'm getting one when I get some cash http://cgi.ebay.ie/Lens-Zenitar-N-f-2-8-16mm-Nikon-Fish-Eye-FREE-SHIPPING_W0QQitemZ390074514381QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CamerasPhoto_CameraAccessories_CameraLensesFilters_JN?hash=item5ad240bbcd&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
