I'm not really clear on if there is such a thing, but I'm looking for a Nikon film lens fisheye. Haven't found anything on KEH yet, but thought I'd ask here.

Let me know what you've got and price you are looking for.

    Yes there is such a beast and I have one, but not FS... sorry. What you should watch for is a Nikkor 16mm f/2.8 fisheye. Should run you $300-500 depending on version, condition and seller. Good luck...

    My 16FE album can be seen here: http://moorefoto.smugmug.com/gallery/2695520_99ADp#255852595_CrLhK

    You might check here as well for a listing of other MF fisheyes. It seems there is a 16/2.8, 16/3.5, 8/2.8, a few invasive fisheyes, and of course, the 6/2.8 fisheye (probably not affordable).

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks for the tips you guys.

    I'm very new to Nikon lenses.

    I found a great listing of all the lenses including that 6mm you mentioned. I'll keep searching for-sales here and KEH until i find something. Hoping for something closer to the $300 end of that scale, and I don't really care how it looks just that it works flawlessly.

    I'm in no hurry :D

    Just for fun, using invasive fisheyes with Nikon DSLRs: http://www.nearfield.com/~dan/photo/wide/fish/index.htm
