For about $250 / £125, the Peleng doesn't have much competition, and produces pretty good results. If you want one, EBay is one of the few options available. One thing I have noticed, you don't see anyone selling a used Peleng. Presumably, when people buy them, they keep them.

As you can see and you would expect fisheye produces a circle, with dark corners. Pictures were scaled down, no major processing. Taken outdoors, cloudy day, ISO 400, F8. Fisheye distortion itself is interesting, and definitely can be used in pictures as is, just some cropping to cut of dark corners.

The lens, when used wide open, shows a considerable degradation of resolution and contrast near the edge even though at the center it is quite acceptable. Stopping down noticeably improves this problem.

Using the Peleng 8mm f/3.5 Fisheye was pure fun thanks to the extreme fisheye effect so a technical analysis of the lens seems almost pointless. That said it is a pretty sharp lens. Its major optical flaw is flare which will be easily visible in many images.
