    this is how a fisheye looks

    see the black borders on the edge? you don't get those on non-full frame camera. A 17mm (like someone posted above) will look really wide on a full frame, but almost no curve on a non full frame.

    So despite the fact that it says fisheye, you won't see a fisheye result on your current camera.

    There is also rectilinear lenses that give no barrel curve to the photos, but I don't think I found a good one for non full frame.

    Just think of this, your stock lens on your camera is 18mm when open wide, and nearly no curve. Not sure how dramatic of a curve you are looking for, but I doubt you see a difference with a 17mm

    The ones I posted above are shot on a 10mm and you can always zoom to 17mm with nearly no curve
