I have a Canon 40D and looking to get a low budget fisheye for it cause I'm not ready for my most expensive lens to be a fisheye (like $600). So any help would be great. Budget =

600 is a lot of bills to be dropping on a fish.  Tokina 10-17.

For the love of God, do not use a screw on.

The one thing that's nice about the 10-17 is that you can a have one fisheye for the crop sensor as well as full frame/film.

*sigh*.... if you wanted to go with a screw on, find the thread size of your lens, and ebay that.... again wouldnt recommend it but for $50-$60.... thats a "cheap" budget....
