Hmm...a fisheye? That'll be a little on the tricky side.

Your pickings will be slim on this site. I'd suggest checking online at gmarket or heading out to one of the camera districts in Seoul: Yongsan station (Living and Digital, Namdaemun (the outer edge near the charred gate), or Chungmuro.

Do they sell used manual focus lenses at those places near the charred gate? If so, are they firm on their prices, or can you bargain with those vendors?

[climber159]

You'll find many manual and auto-focus lenses at Namdaemun. As with any market in Korea, bargain. I suggest going at opening time since Koreans have this superstition with the first sale of the day. If they lose that sale, then it's bad luck for the rest of the day. So chances are better for a better price.

Nikon fisheye 10.5 cost around 780~900 online, the Nikkor lenses are AF as well..

I am interested in fisheye as well.. hehe.. but they are a bit expensive for me at the moment..

I'm not sure if anybody is willing to sell theirs.. hmm..

If there is anybody willing to trade/sell Nikon lenses, I am interested as well.
(I am interested in anything AF over 200mm, or something like 50mm f/2.8 fixed aperture.. )
