A "true" fisheye produces a round image, generally covering a 180 degree view. 
The edges of the round image just touch the edges of the short dimension of the 
rectangular image space of the camera.

A "full frame" fisheye also produces a round, generally 180 degree, 
image. However, it is larger, so that it just reaches the corners of the 
rectangular image space, thus filling it, and the rest of the circle is 
lost. So the field of view is 180 degrees diagonally, but less than that 
horizontally and even less vertically.

The ZD 8/3.5 is a full frame fisheye. You can see a couple of sample 
images here
