Russian 16mm 2.8. Comparable to the 10.5 but all manual. Cheaper though.

oh yeah, and i want to be able to auto focus, which makes this decision that much harder...

Autofocus on a fisheye? I have a hard enough time getting my 28-80 to focus on what I want. Good luck with a fisheye.

tokina got a 180 degree field of view at 10mm sot it would be a good compromise ...cuz de ƒ2.8 is great if you shoot in low light and if you want a high deep of field

It will fit unless the d40 is af only. My d50 worked with all my old manual lenses.
