Anyone want a 6mm fisheye, nikon mount, 220 degree field of vision (yes, that means it can see behind the lens), and a built-in tripod mount (since the lens is probably bigger than your head)?

Going for a bargain price of only $34k on ebay!

* Disclaimer - this isn't my lens, I'm not affiliated with the seller in any way, I just think it's amazingly cool yet ridiculously pricy ;)

Holy Jesus.

I guess you don't screw the lens into the camera - you screw the camera into the lens.

I'd hate to try to keep that thing clean.

And where are the example images?!

My thoughts exactly. How do you expect to sell a 34K lens with no sample pics?

Found a sample elsewhere, looks damn impressive...

... but not good enough to justify the pricetag :)

$34,020.00 and he can't take off the $150.00 postal fee. Well, that was my deciding factor in not buying it.

What a bargain. This lens used to be over 100K when it first came out.

But surely renting it for an easy grab at a DPC ribbon is worth it! :P

I dunno, something's fishy with that... ;-)

That sample isn't $35,000 impressive.

Kind of a limited application for the same amount as a good Lexus, no?

Good Lexus? I didn't realize there were any good overpriced Toyota products. :D

No kidding. To my eye the horizon is distorted and not straight. I don't know if anybody else is seeing that...

Yes, but does this lens have good bokeh?
