Mark; The Camera Company in Madison has them in stock the last time I looked in the last week or so. I thought of getting one to use for Ride the Drive, but I was concerned that the extreme fish-eye effect would make my subjects too small and/or have too low-resolution to enlarge effectively for publishable stills. However, that won't stop me from wanting one anyway.Regarding the wide angle effect for recording near misses, I think the camera will work well to identify ne'er-do-wells on the street. The only thing is that camera would have to be going all the time.And for Eric, the f2.8 setting is academic as far as sharpness and depth-of-field because since it is a very very short focal length lens, the aperture is pretty danged small to begin with so depth-of-field is sharp at normal picture taking distances. A manual camera would be fine for single frame snap-shots, but I would prefer a hands-off movie camera to photograph a problematic driver because is those situations I would prefer to have both hands on the handle bar ready to hit the brakes, not the camera.
