Arsat 30mm?

[hacksawbob]

I have a Pentacon 6 to Eos shift adapter, if I mount this to my Eos with one of these http://www.zenit-camera.com/zodiak8_fisheye_lens_for_kiev60.htm

is there any point? will i loose all the fishyness on my crop sensor 400D?

As "crop" say area will less, it will less fish eye or you will have a wide angle lens with nice distortion

All crop camera crop part of genuine image circle.

will it be a full frame equivalent of 46mm, therefore there is not much point?

I not agree with 46mm full frame equivalent, this is still 30mm , but crop camera crop centre part of image. Looks like 46mm but not equivalent.

I put on 4/50 Flek on 35mm DSLR , no reason to use it.No any benefits.

yes on a shift adapter the extra glass I think would come in handy to reduce the possible vignetting.

I have this lens that I purchased for my Pentacon Six bak in the 90s. It came in a Styrofoam box, had a zip up case with filters and a cap. This thing is huge and its also one of the most sharp lenses Arsat ever made.

Unfortunately on a crop sensor or even full 35mm sensor, its no longer a fish eye. I see no advantage to adapting this lens to 35mm or cropped sensors. Still a cool lens to have, the thing is huge and you will get stares and double takes.
