Wide angle lovers....

Has anyone heard about this lens yet? I just read about it in Pop Photo. Its an 8mm that is NOT fisheye. Thought it was worth posting.

I read about it on DPReview. It looks interesting. I go as wide as 11 on 1.5 crop (Nikon) which seems plenty wide, but I know there are more possibilities with wider. Used correctly, 8mm has the potential for some really neat shots.

Sucks that it's only for small format cameras. 8mm wide angle on a 35mm film camera would be amazing. It's basically God's view of his creation.

I could image much wider than a 10mm on a crop or a 15-17 on a FF body. I have trouble enough as it trying to shoot something without getting my feet in the frame.
