I’m looking for one to use with my R5. Ideally reasonably priced. Prefer native RF mount. Prefer Canon but could be third party. I don’t see any but maybe I’m missing something. What say you?

I agree with the other posters who have recommended the EF 8-15/4L fisheye zoom. Quality is great, it has more potential uses than a circular-only fisheye, and you can be confident of no compatibility issues. Not sure where you're posting from, but here in the UK you can buy a used one in 'like new' condition for a *big* saving.

The only other option I know of is the EF mount version of the Sigma 8 mm fisheye, which is much smaller and very affordable, but I can't speak for the quality.

It's hard to see what advantage you would get from an RF mount, except that a new-from-the-ground-up design might be smaller and lighter - but would no doubt cost an arm and a leg.
