I purchased this lens right after I bought my D5100, as I always wanted a fisheye lens. This lens is tack sharp and one of the only zoom fisheyes out there. If you don't have a camera with built in focus motor, you will have to manual adjust this lens, but I never had a problem with that. Has a built in hood that helps protect the lens and at the 17mm end, there is very little distortion if any.
This lens is in pristine condition and comes with caps and soft bag.
Used on Adorama and other sites, this lens lists for $400 plus used. New, they are in the $580 to $620 range.
Selling it for $350 as I am selling all my DX lenses and have gone to full frame camera. I have a couple of pics posted that I took with this lens.

A fisheye without distortion? That's what fisheyes are all about, and well your sample picture shows this one is no exeption.

Yes, but on the 17mm end, there is very little and can be corrected in PP. What's nice, you have a very wide angle for the DX camera. Hope this helps.
Your sample pics are probably shot at the 17mm end and it looks like there is nothing but distortion.

Top photo was shot at 12mm, the photo of the people at 17mm and the last car at 11.5mm.
As you can see, the distortion is minimal at 17mm, unless I'm missing something? The vertical lines will need straightening, but the people themselves look okay.
I tried to post "store original", but for some reason, they did not post that way, even after checking the boxes. Have done this in the past, so don't know why it did not do it this time.
no lens has distortion......any distortion is caused only by the angle you take the pix from
