Above water the Tokina 10-17mm fisheye is something of a novelty lens because it's very easy to overdose on the fisheye look. For professional use, the level of chromatic aberration means correction in Photoshop is a must. So in my opinion the 10-17mm not a must have lens above water. Underwater the 10-17mm is awesome. It gives a real sense of perspective, and the lack of straight lines underwater makes the fisheye effect much less obvious. The huge field of view and close focusing means this lens works well for subjects from six inches to sixty feet in size. That puts this lens firmly on my must have list for underwater photography. Fortunately, the 10-17mm is not particularly expensive. So if you are curious about fisheye shots it is possible to buy one and see if it suits your style. If it doesn't work for you, just sell it on to an underwater photographer.Read full review
Bought used on eBay, this lens offers something different and is really fun to use. The wide angle on a crop sensor is great, especially for milky way shots and underwater photography, there is a little CA as reviews elsewhere will tell you, but it's so easily corrected on lightroom, that for most people these days,(me too!) it's not an issue. At 17mm it performs nicely as a really usable wide angle, great for landscapes etc. This one will stay with me for quite a while.

Being a newbie to underwater photography I am told that this is the lens of choice for many professional underwater photographers. I have tried it out on land and came up with some great shots, can't wait to get it underwater.
