Not an everyday lens for sure, but great for special effects or virtual tours. Lens is very sharp, easy to use, great fun and the price is very reasonable.

This 7.5mm fisheye lens provides a diagonal field of view of 180 degrees on a Micro Four Thirds camera and is available for around ￡240.

Samyang lenses typically don't feature any electronics so while you will be able to mount this fisheye lens without an adapter you'll have to live without AF, a camera-controlled aperture and EXIF data.
