Truly people might disagree with my assessment but I am in no way underestimating the quality of the other lenses available for the system. I just think the price-quality ratio for the Zodiak/Arsat is one of the best. You will pay an incredible premium for a 6x6 fisheye for any other system. |

That is right, no other option available on reasonable price, this will be my first fish eye trial I never had any before. _________________ -------------------------------

As discussed in the past, I do own three copies (2x Zodiak plus 1x Arsat) in Kiev 88, P6 and Hassy 2000F mounts.
I'd guess I've been lucky in all cases, all three are top performers. |

Be interesting if you can compare this to your Konica 15mm fisheye. This Zodiak is only single coated so be careful of flares.

I need your help.
Has this Zodiak (for Kiev 8 the rear filter or not? Seller does not know, he has sent me this picture. He definitively has not the color (blue, green, orange) filters, but I hope the optically necessary UV filter to be on the rear of the lens. Unfortunately I dont see the sideengraving of the filter in the picture, that makes me unsure if there is a filter or not.
