BuyDig.com has the Rokinon 8mm f/3.5 Aspherical Fisheye Lens (Canon) for $299 - $70 off with coupon code photopro70 = $229 with free shipping. Features a 180 degree angle of view, built-in petal hood and 10 elements in 7 groups.
I have the Pentax version of this and it's a really fun lens and good value. I felt like I got a good deal for ~$260 maybe 18 Months ago so the price here is good. Sample images (on Pentax gear, but results on a APS-C sensor Canon would be similar): http://www.flickr.com/photos/mattbnet/sets/72157625935106063/
I have a Pro Optic 8mm which I think is the same as this but with different name. It is a cool lens and I paid over 300 for mine I have a review on amazon under the same name. 229$ is worth it for a creative lens

wish photopro70 worked on the Nikon version
Yes #2, I think the same lens is available as Bower, Pro Optic, and a few other names. If it's 8mm f/3.5 and MF chances are it's the same lens.
