No clue why someone would want one, i think the effect is ridicules, the fisheye effect is handled very nicely by nikons 10.5 fisheye (much cheaper). reason for the price ? Low aperture, VERY rare lens, and fisheyes are never cheap. This is also regarded as the “super” fisheye and being 6mm it can almost look backwards. ![http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3098/3133863238_608e28ee9a.jpg?v=0](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3098/3133863238_608e28ee9a.jpg?v=0) ---
