Jim, thanks for posting.... From what I can see, the Arsat seems to have
done a good job....Did the Kiev hold out OK?  It looks cheaper to buy a Kiev
to hold the lens then to get the Arsat modified....

Is there something in the originals that I have missed in the WEB pictures?

Hi Frank:

You might possibly be interested in a comparison I made several months
ago between the Arsat and the Zeiss 30mm fisheye lenses:
