How does this lens (HD preferably) work with K-1? Ricoh samples show that 17mm should be OK without black corners but how about IQ? It is even remotely acceptable towards the edges? I am interested because I would use this with both APS-C and FF camera. Samyang 12mm fisheye lenses are about impossible to get right now locally.

At 11mm it creates circular images. For the rest, refer to this:

The HD version is better since you can remove the hood, but it's not perfect.

Whoa! So it looks like a potato on K-1? Have to find a Samyang 12mm then.

EDIT: Found a used 12mm Samyang fisheye and the funny part is that it may well be a lens I previously owned. I sold my digital setup in 2017 as I purchased a load of 4x5" large format stuff.
