Yes, compared to 16 it shows right from the start.
Interesting. The Takumar is easier to find and cheaper from what I have seen so far and also lighter. Now it’s sharper…. Hard to beat that combo. Thanks. I do love a good Takumar

Wow, look at current prices on the Zenitar fisheye! I feel like my dad - "$3500 for a new car, that's outrageous!"
It’s interesting I went to look for kremlin optics website, but all the current links, lead you to a series of advertisements, not the company itself, even though all the business directories in Toronto show it as an active business

I scratched the same itch with a DA 10-17. Although it's a zoom , I'm pleased with the results and saved a bunch of $$$ in the process.

Have you considered the zenitar 16/2.8 fisheye. They are available new for a reasonable price, both in k mount and M43. K mount is about a 10% premium on price.

I got mine about 10 years ago from kremlin optics for less than 200 cdn
This is the one I'd get at this focal length. Seems to work on APSC decently and is pretty cheap.
