A fisheye sounds like the wrong thing for that. They'd almost certainly want a wide angle but not a distorted view.

RE-TC-thanks Jason,I thought there was no AF.I think I'll give them a miss-I am to lazy to focus,and I never get it as good as the AF.

At these short focal lengths the depth of field means getting the focus dead on is not that important. I find at 11mm, f3.5 and set on infinity everything beyond about 1.5 m is in focus. I do find if I want to use the AF I have to use spot focus, otherwise the camera AF gets confused.
