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:

www.coastalopt.com/ne080400.htm

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.

Hi Jay.

Thanks so much for the speedy reply and the pointer to the PDF.  Since you are the author, is there any possibility for you to post those images mentioned on the web.  or at least one example from each lense.  I and I'm sure others would love to see them too.  BTW, i can't seem to find any examples of the Coastal Digital SLR Fisheye Lens on your site.  Am I not looking in the right place?  TIA
