It is!

On fullframe (what those lenses were made for) The Peleng is a circular fisheye and the Zenitar is a diagonal fisheye (that fills the whole frame).

On Crop the Zenitar turns into a wide angle with heavy distortion, but still is is a fisheye lens, and the Peleng turns into some kind of diagonal fisheye (like the Zenitar on fullframe, but with even heavier distortion).

Sorry, if this post sounds like a lecture but we cannot leave your statement uncommented, since it is wrong. Wink
