Price is the issue of preferance.. should have focal shorter than 20mm.. the shorter the better..

Doesn't have to be referred as "excellent IQ" at all.. Just to try some shots.. Looked around but each is above 200$.. Nothing usable below 100$?

Don't expect any good one under 100 USD.

This one is a bit over $100, but it's plenty wide and sold by a reputable seller:

I don't know much about this lens, but it seems to be fixed focus (not much of an issue with a 12mm lens) and made by Sigma. It has to be stopped down to F/11 to deliver good sharpness at least in the center of the frame.

Here's a page about its smaller brother the 12mm F/8 fisheye:
