Hi folks!

I've been using my combo of D1 and the 8mm Peleng for quite a while 
now. I recently "inherited" a D100 (a partner of mine got a new D2x). 
The fact that the D100 can't meter the Peleng and the hint of an 
upcoming, rather large project got me thinking of getting a better 
lens for my pano shooting.

I really like the Peleng for it's excellent bang-for-the-buck but am 
not quite satisfied with it's optical qualities. Especially when 
opened up the picture isn't all that sharp and the lens 
flare/reflections inside the lens aren't nice either.

So what I need is a nice fisheye lens that will work on my Nikon 
bodies and is better than the Peleng. So here's what I thought of so far:

Nikon 16/2.8    Has anybody tried that one?
Nikon 8/2.8     Well, that'be nice. Not affordable though.
Nikon 10.5/2.8  I think it's the best choice for me.
Sigma 8/4       Runner up behind the above. Don't like what I heard 
about CA on this lens though.
Zenitar 16/2.8  Well, is it really better than my Peleng? Ain't sure....

So what do you guys think? Which is best? Any other lenses I haven't listed?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers, Dave
