replace it with a 1/2 filter, and turn the light back on for a short time,

Hi,
I would thank all of you who have spent time to answer my questions about
the 17mm PENTAX fish-eye : Paul, Christian, Yoshihiko, Juan, Rob...
In the mean time I've been told of the ZENITAR 16mm fish-eye which costs
less (NEW) than half the price of the (USED) Pentax 17mm, and it has a f/2.8
