Taken with my only MFT lens wide enough to qualify for this thread. 4.5mm circular fish-eye (210 degree sweep) on Pany GX8

+1 on that compliment. Excellent use of UWA.

I'll enter a minor complaint. 12mm on FF translates to 6mm on MFT, but the shortest rectilinear available for MFT is 7mm, and all frame-filling fish-eyes for MFT are at least 7mm. SFAIK the only lenses for MFT that would meet the 12mm FF equivalent or wider criterion are circular fish-eyes such as the Laowa 4mm. Posting images taken with such an optic would be out of character with other images posted on this thread, even were such an image thoroughly de-fished (they look, depending on your outlook/attitude, either weird or artsy)

I should be so skilled to have such images to "dump."

Such images as I have taken with the 12mm Laowa have been satisfactory.

I have a standing order for one @ B&H. Those who have one, including I think the OP, bought into the cloud funding before the lens went into production. I don't think any USA merchants, B&H, Adorama etc., have received any K-mount versions of the 12mm as yet.

It says 7-14 days for more to arrive, but I've seen such a notice on a product for months.

I've been frustrated that the Laowa-Venus 12mm in K-mount has been so slow reaching B&H. I feel like I'm back waiting for the FF Pentax.

I found that the difference left-right between my Sigma 8~16mm @ 8mm versus the 10~17mm @ 10mm is almost negligible. A 10~17mm @ 10mm defished is almost indistinguishable from an 8~16mm @ 8mm. The most noticeable difference IMHO is not right-left/top-bottom coverage, but rather that the fish eye seems to push back objects near the center of the frame a bit more. However, this is an informal impression, not a consequence of careful tests.

Three all taken @ 10mm. The historic pedestrian suspension bridge in Maine was taken with a 10~17mm Pentax. The two church images, the first in Bristol, the exterior shot of flying buttresses taken in Edinburgh, were both done with a Sigma 10-20mm.
