Ben,

Your pano. photos are truly excellent - was really inspired looking at them.

Was interested to read your comments on the Kiev 30mm W-J.  Have you 
tried out one of these lenses?

Am interested as I have an old Agiflex (1940s) converted to take 
Pentacon/Kiev etc lenses and was in fact looking at the 30mm Kievs a 
few weeks ago.

Are we talking true fisheye here?  When you say "full frame" is this 
a circle touching the sides of the 6x6 format, or does the image 
cover the whole of the 6x6 format?
