And this an ebay STEAL! A ZENITAR f2.8 16 MM full frame fisheye which as far as I can tell is a complete counterfeit of the Nikon version. A little softer at 2.8/4.0/and 5.6 but $99 and not a grand!

Very sweeeet! I need to work up a few pics of my Nikons but your look a lot better than mine.
 
I'm wondering where you got the info that Zenit is a copy of Nikon... and the Fisheye too.

I thought Zenit was a russian derivative of Practica or other German design.
 
The intresting thing is that ALL of nikkor 16mm fishes are 8 elements cemented in 5 groups

The russian 16mm is 11 elements in 7 groups.

I understand that you're a Nikon guy, but don't say that Robert Hooke stole the design of the microscope from the japanese and discovered cells with it.
 
Wow, I'm impressed! Last week I was looking at a pic album about old cameras and i noticed a few of them in your collection. Must be hard to get'em, especially in good condition!
I like the little japanese one!
And I thought i was the only one to still own a Zenit... (And I think my grandpa still has his Zorki)
