I bought it used from ebay without the additional filters. It had a lot of tiny scratches but it works fine.
Though I have not found much use of it, I use it as a wide angle lens with Sony NEX-5 and Olympus E-PL2.
I tried to find some information on it online but alas since I couldn't find any, I had to write this review for other people just in case they are looking for some information on the lens.
I took these photos in my village with Pentax MX and Fujicolor Proplus 200
The below photos I took with Sony NEX-5 and Rikoh 16mm f2.8 lens. On Sony it gives 1.5X crop factor so the 16mm fishyeye lens becomes a 24mm lens but I've noticed it has a LOT of barrel distortion than regular 24mm lens and it lacks contrast. I've not corrected it below but resized them below and sharing as it was shot- | |
