Here is a rather unusual Zenitar 16mm lens I have picked up at a local flea market.
I have bought this MC Zenitar-K 2.8/16 just because of the writings on it. Although all Zenitars I have seen they are labeled with latin inscriptions, this one bears Russian writings "MC Зенитар-K 2,8/16" and "рыбий глаз" (fish eye).
It looks nice, like never used and bought it in its leather case along with is rare four 26.5 filters; yellow, red, green and a UV, that fit at the back of the lens (the highly protruding front lens element makes it impossible adding anything in front of it).
Interesting (but just)…
I have tried on my Pentax with a roll of Ektar 100 and looks pretty sharp. I have also ordered a PK to FX adapter to try it also on my Fuji X-Pro1. What bothers me is that usually I get unwanted things at the edges of my frames as I have not been used to using such extreme wide angle lenses (in one of them I had caught my shoes  ).

If you try this one on X-Pro1, it looks like a 23mm lens and could be used on several special scenaries.  I used to try to connect my Konica UC Hexanon 15mm/f2.8 on my X-Pro1 and I have to say its a good combination.

I cannot wait for that adapter to arrive. On my X-Pro1 the widest lens I have ever used has been the Mir-10A. I bet that it will get me closer to the 24mm of my Nikon film cameras that I have been used to. Simply great!

Cheapest fisheye I could find when I brought my m42 mount version brand new - the rubber grip for focussing has now come unstuck though...
