Ah yes, I've already done that, with a Mamiya 37mm, on a Speed
Graflex, 92mm image circle (haven't tested all apertures
yet)....only minor problem is that the bed of the Speed shows up in
the image, but that gives a nice historic tint to it....:-))
Didn't know that the Pentax had no shading ears (or removable ones?).

And not sure if you meant that, but perhaps even more interesting is 
using such a fisheye for projection.....probably gives a huge hotspot 
on a screen (very close to the projector), but fun nonetheless.

The problem with this Leitz projector is that it is one huge 
contraption, lens + projector in one big steel housing....no such 
thing as simply removing the lens. That would work much better with 
the Noblux 4x5" projector (lens sits on 4 sliding rails).

PS: you sent your message privately, not to the list (some odd 
idiosyncrasy between Pan-Server and *some* mail-clients, inserting a 
wrong 'reply-to:' line...Steve knows about this), so I CC'd this one 
back to the list.
