Cheers,

I saw a review on amazon, with pictures included. It appears to be a circle fisheye, much like the lens baby one. And the reviewer used it on an Olympus camera:

Not that interesting in my opinion, I'm better off with a diagonal fisheye, like the Samyang 8mm f/2.8 or Sony 16mm+fisheye converter.

Prolly useful on a droneycopter, or even on a kite :-)   

    

Given the 4/3 sample you posted, this line from the 

linked seller page appears to be an inaccurate spec:  

  

"Ultra-190 Grad Diagonal Sichtfeld-für

APS-C Size Image Formate"   

  

Such a DIAGONAL FoV would indicate a "full frame 

fisheye" but it's apparent from the posted 4/3 sample 

that on an APSC this would be "circular fisheye", and 

that makes sense cuz 6.5mm X 1.5 crop factor equals 

a 10mm "FF equivalent FL". Most FF circular fisheyes 

are 8mm, so 10mm should certainly be close enuf. A 

typical "190 Grad Diagonal Sichtfeld " [note diagonal 

means implies "full frame fisheye" in fish-speak] has 

always been 15 or 16mm.

    • I'm beginning to think that I have a misconception about the a7R. The one I was wanting had the shutter release button on the hand grip with a resolution of 36mp. It appears the button moved to the handgrip on the a7R II model, which had 42mp resolution.  Sorry for any confusion, I'm in the learning stage yet.  😕 I may need to go with the basic a7 II at 24mp. The 36mp (R) model had the shutter release on the camera body (which I didn't care for).
    • I'd really like to find a package deal for an a7R (mk I, second generation) which includes the neckstrap and box. I've searched Ebay and currently no one is listing what I'm looking for. They either have the camera only or a first generation a7R and a lot of them don't offer the Sony neckstrap or box it came in. I know your site doesn't have a formal 'Equipment For Sale' thread and granted Ebay is a better place to sell gear but I thought I'd see if any of the members have one and would like to upgrade to a newer model but don't think anyone would be looking for one that old. The cameras I've been using are in the 20 megapixel range and rather than jumping to a 40mp camera due to file size, the 36mp that the first a7R has was appealing to me and wouldn't break the bank. I've been using Canon and Nikon but really want experience a Sony. If a post like this is undesirable for this website, I understand but I thought I would ask. Thank you. 
    • Here's a good thread on the issue.... https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4571046 And here is the info on the A7RIVA that maybe explains why I don't see the issue...  The change in wording that caught my attention is that the new A7RIVA brochure says the structure has been "re-examined and redesigned." Don't know, but given the text of other parts of the brochures are copied word for word, the change in text here seems significant. My reading of this is that it is a redesign of the A7RIV. In that case, perhaps the 200-600 issues are less severe with the new body.
