Hmmm, thats a pretty low budget...I was going to suggest the Pelang 8mm f3.5 fish-eye but new price is a bit over your budget and you almost never see them being sold second hand.
The Zenitar 16mm f2.8 Fish-eye is a lot cheaper but it wont give you the ultra fish-eye look you may be looking for and that you could get with the Pelang. |

I got a Cosina 3.8/20 for about € 55,- and a Vivitar 3.5/17 for a little more. But both lenses have a Nikon mount.
It will be hard to find a good M42 ultra wide lens fir that money...

I wonder what a narrow-fisheye would be??
Or is a super 220degrees fisheye meant like the 2.8/6mm Nikkor?
Just " a little bit" over the budget ... @EUR25.000 street price.
There is a cheap one on the market, comes in different brand names with 12mm, cropped circular image, not worth the money at all!

Or what about a wide angle converter ? There are lots on ebay. Tokina x0.22 for ~35 GBP. 58 mm converts to 13mm, 50 to 11, 35 to 8, 28 to 6. If IQ is really not an issue then it may be worth a try. I've certainly though about trying one.
