It's a Zenitar f2.8 16mm fisheye. Of course on the *istD it's kind of a semi-fisheye, which in some ways is okay, but in other ways kind of sucks. I actually prefer the distortion when it's used with a full-frame sensor, because it's obvious that it's ~supposed~ to be a fisheye. On the aps-sized sensor one might wonder if it's just a lens with huge barrel distortion. Still, it's a fun lens... cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
