I wouldn't pay anything to ruin my shots, I can do it for free. My advice would be to stay away

You can get them for £20-£30 or so off ebay.
I have one and it's a fun enough thing but don't expect the highest quality. I can't justify the cost of a fisheye to myself as I know I'd hardly ever use it but a cheapo adapter is fine to play with and will give you a glimpse of the fish eye experience.
Oh, and no offence...but I don't think that these adapters are anywhere near as bad as some people say. If you think they're a cheapo alternative to a dedicated fish eye lens costing hundreds of pounds you'll be disappointed but view them as £30 well spent on a toy and photographic curio for occasional fun use and I think you'll be happy.

http://www.dealextreme.com have them (slow but free shipping from china) I usually use them for things as its the same stuff as you get on ebay for a bit more. yes their adaptors are crap but as i say they're the same as the ebay ones.
I know someone who had one that was a step above others, think it was a tamaron and cost a bit more, was still crap though, just maybe not quite as bad as the others (but not worth the extra ££ IMO).
edit: heres one:
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.29622 i thought they were a bit cheaper on there, the 0.45x is cheaper though, oh well.
