POLL: Is the new Panasonic 8mm fisheye too expensive for you?

Many of our readers were disappointed with the high price of the new Panasonic 8mm f/3.5 ED Fisheye Lens ($799 on Amazon and 799 Euro in Europe).

For comparison only:
The Olympus 8mm f/3.5 } if ($loc == 'ES') { $sel = "1"; ?>Olympus 8mm f/3.5 } if ($loc == 'IT') { $sel = "1"; ?>Olympus 8mm f/3.5 } if ($loc == 'AT') { $sel = "1"; ?>Olympus 8mm f/3.5 } if ($loc == 'DE') { $sel = "1"; ?>Olympus 8mm f/3.5 } if ($loc == 'BE') { $sel = "1"; ?>Olympus 8mm f/3.5 } if ($loc == 'AU') { $sel = "1"; ?>Olympus 8mm f/3.5 } if ($loc == 'FR' OR $loc == 'FX') { $sel = "1"; ?>Olympus 8mm f/3.5 } if ($loc == 'NL') { $sel = "1"; ?>Olympus 8mm f/3.5 } if ($loc == 'CA') { $sel = "1"; ?>Olympus 8mm f/3.5 } if ($loc == 'US') { $sel = "1"; ?>Olympus 8mm f/3.5 } if ($sel != '1') {?>Olympus 8mm f/3.5 } ?> price is $639.95.
The Sigma 8mm f/3.5 } if ($loc == 'ES') { $sel = "1"; ?>Sigma 8mm f/3.5 } if ($loc == 'IT') { $sel = "1"; ?>Sigma 8mm f/3.5 } if ($loc == 'AT') { $sel = "1"; ?>Sigma 8mm f/3.5 } if ($loc == 'DE') { $sel = "1"; ?>Sigma 8mm f/3.5 } if ($loc == 'BE') { $sel = "1"; ?>Sigma 8mm f/3.5 } if ($loc == 'AU') { $sel = "1"; ?>Sigma 8mm f/3.5 } if ($loc == 'FR' OR $loc == 'FX') { $sel = "1"; ?>Sigma 8mm f/3.5 } if ($loc == 'NL') { $sel = "1"; ?>Sigma 8mm f/3.5 } if ($loc == 'CA') { $sel = "1"; ?>Sigma 8mm f/3.5 } if ($loc == 'US') { $sel = "1"; ?>Sigma 8mm f/3.5 } if ($sel != '1') {?>Sigma 8mm f/3.5 } ?> price is $899.00.
The Sony NEX system offers the fisheye adapter for $149.99 but we have to see how much quality you loose by using an adapter on the 16mm lens (whoch costs $249.99))

And let us (and Panasonic) know what you think!
