That's a paint loss, so nothing to worry about.

Stefan is right, google "Schneideritis" (as that happened a lot with some Schneider lenses and for instance also the Minolta M 28mm lens)

In general you are right. But as it is very severe and on a fisheye (whose image extends to the very lens edge) it might degrade the image considerably in this particular case.

Save your money and buy a goldfish bowl instead Walter. Difficult to mount but far better IQ, and you get free fish pics thrown in.

Agreed, that fisheye is very early and actually crap. Had it once, regretted it.

I think as diaphragm is closed, less of front element circumference is used. Should be okay stopped down I think. In first photo looks like it is confined to outer circumferential regions, and reflections in subsequent photos.

I have a version if this lens, Soligor iirc. I was able to coax some decent images after set up & used according to the instruction booklet. (on my to-scan list, also to check how easy it is disassembled)
