you aren't going to find anything better.

The third party fisheyes aren't bad, but they aren't great. I would suggest looking for a used one, I have the 16mm f3.5 AI - the old manual focus fisheye and I love it. The color rendition isn't as nice as the newer lenses, but the lens performs much better and is sharper from what I've seen.
