Coastal Optical Systems has tested the Peleng 8mm fisheye on the Nikon D-1
and measured field mapping, relative illumination and field of regard.  The
experimental data for the Peleng was compared to six other commercially
available fisheye lenses (Nikon 8mm, Nikon 6 mm, Coastal 7.45 mm, Coastal
4.88 mm, and two different Sigma 8mm)

The results were presented in San Diego at the SPIE annual meeting.  The
paper can be downloaded at:

The 4.88 mm focal length Coastal fisheye listed above is specifically
designed to provide a 185 degree circular image on the 14.9 mm Nikon D-1 and
Kodak DCS digital cameras.
