I've got the hankering for a fisheye lens for my Nikon D40, but the best one that supports autofocus is around $900, and the decent 3rd party one is $500.00 (almost what the camera cost). But there is the Peleng.....which is about as extreme a fisheye as you can get.
Beyond the intrinsic coolness that it makes almost circular pictures, it is a decent lens for making panoramas. Here are some really great ones (you will need to have Quicktime installed). The guy that made these explains how it did it.
Ken Rockwell has an excellent review of wide angle lenses for Nikon digital cameras.
