I googled it, and found https://www.mir.com.my/rb/photograph...rces/fisheyes/ 6mmf28.htm has a pretty nice writeup about it. For those who just want the highlights: a 220 degree angle of view, 236mm (9.29") diameter, 171mm (6.73") long, weight 5.2Kg (11.46 pounds). The website doesn't give a price, but mentions that it was special order. $6k in 1970s dollars. $161k today, due to its rarity, at least this one: https://www.theverge.com/2012/4/24/2...on-6mm-f2-8-le ns-for-sale-london |
