Very niche lens that's usually quite expensive and it's unlikely to have many uses.

I bought the Olympus 9mm f/8 for 89$, sharp in the center, not bad in the corners
I use it in bright light or with a cobra
Sometime I "defish" the picture
I can post some

yea sounds interesting, i'd like to see some
Fisheye lenses are only good for 3 things:
- cute closeups of animals
- ground level "animal pov" landscapes or scenes
- closeups of gaping assholes and other similar nsfw work
If those are not your thing, just avoid them and save your money for something else.

What about street photography in city scape? Though maybe a normal wide angle lens is better?

What if this is my thing though?

Are you dumb? That was a really fucking unfunny joke based on a question that was already answer. Kill yourself.

if you want straight lines for architecture, then a tilt shift would be better, if you dont care that much a wide like 20 or 24 might be better. fisheyes are nice for skate

Street memetography on an ultra wide angle (which is the realm of most fisheye lens) can be extremely awkward as you either have to stick unconmfortably close to your subject or risk having a very busy or empty pic. For architecture and city scape it might work though.
