Does canon have a fish eye lens that is no L lens?

Manual focus - but there is a lot of depth of field at 8 mm! Unless you are shooting stock, you don't need to get L glass. Other options are the Sigma 4.5 mm (circle on APS-C) and 10 mm (covers all of APS-C territory) fisheyes. There are also some ultra-wide rectilinear lenses out there, but I assume that you are specifically wanting the fisheye distortion.

I used some manual lenses before, the only thing i hate about these are that when you put a small aperture your vieuwfinder turns black :(

The sigma 4,5 will be to extream, i do not want to have black borders in my immage, that's a waist of pixles :P

So, I think i will go for a 10mm then :)

thanks for the information

You will get a cropped fisheye image, simple as that. Field of view becomes approximately 112 degrees instead of the 180 degrees you would get on full frame. The centre part of the image appears less distorted so you don't get such a strong 'fisheye look'.

The answer to your original question is look at the Sigma 8 mm, or for a much lower price (but manual focus and aperture) the Samyang 8 mm.

The 10mm Sigma is for crop frame filling.

The 8mm is for FF, circular.

You're right of course, I did mean the 10 mm.

But having said that, if you want the full 180deg diagonal you can't actually get it with a Canon 1.6x crop sensor. The 10 mm lens is made for 1.5x crop so we Canon shooters lose about 11 degrees. I did make a mistake, but as it happens the only way to get a full 180 degree diagonal is to use the 8 mm lens and crop the resulting image.

Yes, that is true as well to get the 180 degrees.
 
I wouldn't use the 15 mm fisheye for landscape, much better to use a rectilinear lens for that purpose.

or, is there a other lens that you would sugest thqt fits on my 650D

Yes - there is a nice non L fisheye, which can produce lovely results when used creatively
