Hmm....according to the info from the fisheye-overview on my
homepage (http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/fishlist.htm), it has a
screw filter size of 38mm (a rather odd/uncommon size/pitch if I
recall correctly, same goes for the 16mm Zenitar for 35mm)....and
larger sizes are easier to cut (we are talking about thin foil here,
either 0.4mm #87C or 0.1mm #87 (as well as #29 & #89B); in gelatine (not
from Kodak anymore) even the darkest #87B and #87A are possible), and
these are also less critical in size/fitting, so you could even cut it
yourself from a piece of 5x5cm square (and mount it under the factory 
UV screw filter).
Basic price of all these foil types is US$0.50 pro square centimeter, 
or US$12.50 for a minimum size of 5x5cm.
Mail me privately for more details.
