I only know of three; the Nikon, Sigma and the Tokina. Cost is $900, $700 and $500 respectively.
See here:

You can look here at samples of the Nikon:

You won't find any wide angle zooms in your price range.
I'd recommend either the Zenitar 16mm fisheye or the Peleng 8mm fisheye.
Both are made in the old Soviet Block countries and use manual focus. You also have to defish them if you want it to look like a regular picture. But it's about $150 for the Zenitar and $200 for the Peleng.

Sigma is coming out with a 10-20 zoom that's under $500. Still not in your budget, but less than the other and wider too. If you aren't planning to go to a larger sensor camera, it should be just fine.
