Fisheye
MC Zenitar-M 16mm f/2.8 Lens
Description:
The Zenitar-M 16mm f2.8 Fisheye lens is a compact short-focus, super
wide-angle lens that provides you with a full-frame exposure (not a circle spot
on the frame) that shows an ultra wide-angle 180 degree field of view. It is
ideal for architecture, landscape, and group pictures.
!!! You can make your Zenitar lens into a high quality super wide angle
rectilinear lens by using the Lens
Corrector tool from Proxel
The fisheye lens is fitted with an instant opening diaphragm
and equipped with a set of light filters. Mounting
on a camera - a screw mount M42x1 type with 45.5mm flange/film distance.
The basic 16mm Zenitar-M fisheye lens kit includes:

EOS adapter with electronic focus confirmation
This adapter allows the use of M42 (Pentax Screw Mount) lenses on any Canon
EOS camera body. Such lenses are made by Praktica and Zenit and are also easily
found on the used lens market from such manufacturers as Pentax.
Although all M42 lenses are manual focus, this adapter retains the operation
of the camera's electronic "in-focus" indicators - a green circle appearing
in the viewfinder and an audible "beep" - to confirm best focus. If the shutter
is 1/2 depressed and the lens manually focused, the camera will indicate when
best focus has been achieved. Simpler M42 adapters lacking electronic contacts
do not allow the camera to provide any electronic focus confirmation and focus
can only be judged by observing the image on the viewfinder screen. This can
be quite difficult, especially with slow and/or wideangle lenses.
Since M42 mount lenses have a manually operated aperture, camera modes which
control exposure by automatically adjusting aperture are not available. However
full autoexposure operation is available in Aperture Priority mode and the camera
can also be operated in manual exposure mode using in-camera metering. In manual
mode the shutter speed is set on the camera, while the aperture is set on the
lens. In Aperture priority mode the aperture is set on the lens and the camera
will automatically set the shutter speed to provide the correct exposure.
M42 lenses mounted on EOS bodies via this adapter do not interfere with camera
operation and allow the use of mirror lockup.

Digital cameras
Prior to the introduction of the EOS D30 digital SLR, Canon in collaboration
with Kodak produced four digital SLRs by modifying the internals of the EOS-1N
film SLR. These four digital SLRs had a Canon EOS body and thus can accept EF
lenses, while the image sensor and electronics were designed and built by Kodak.
The four cameras were:
