do you need a fisheye or a normal wide-angle?
there is a huge difference; fisheyes are less expensive than normal extreme WA's but of course fisheyes have that extreme barrel distortion which is why they are called 'fisheye'.

for the d70 you can get nikon's 10.5 mm full frame fish which is about $600

which will give you 180 degrees diagonal on a D70 (but it won't work on full-frame 35mm still cameras)

if you need a normal WA you could check this out:
