		| That figures, I just bought the 10.5mm Nikon fisheye.  I should have spent the extra $155,400 and bought this one :) |

		I've been waiting for the 5mm for years.  This sucks.

		Yeah, but then you have to go full frame to take advantage of the true angle of view, so that means buying another body,  and I can't afford both right now.  Besides, it wouldn't fit in my camera bag.

 Nah, it comes with filters. They mount in the base of the lens. That front glass is a hemisphere, or at least a segment of one. Imagine the rep[air cost if you scratched THAT :-)

		To see one of those in that kind of condition is incredible. What a find. I really wonder what the optical performance is like?

		Grays of Westminster have posted a video of this on their YouTube channel. It includes a piece of video shot with the lens.

 Nikon used to include pictures made with this lens in their catalog, it was pretty far out and I wanted one, but my dad wouldn't increase my allowance enough to afford one. |

 Disappointed that he didn't put his face/nose right up to the lens. |

 So now there's a lens and a video, no photos. Has Nikon left photography?  ( :) ) |
