Click here to see on Ebay

It costs like a 5D Crying or Very sad

Note: it's not a fisheye! It's a corrected lens.

What a fascinating piece of engineering! Great!

But can believe these auction photos? Such a fantastic lens and two crap photos.

yeah... mostly, tiny photos. Heck, you're selling a 2000 € lens, at least spend 1 Euro to activate the big photo option!

I think there is Pentax 15mm rectilinear lens, almost fully correct. That may be another choice, if you want to go this wide path.

Yes, Ballu, there probably are other options, but I didn't post this one for buying (I don't think there is any people here who can afford this lens), just for showing an incredible lens, that is very rare to find, because few of them were sold because of the price.

The reports about this lens speak of an astounding geometrical fidelity considering the field of view. This lens was the choice of the architects.

Yes that correct.. CZ is superb.. no 2 views...

My aim of putting the ref to another lens, was create a good database here... (and Pentax 15mm is almost of same category, but never able to find any comparison) After all, eventually information rules/rocks... Razz
