I'd prefer a 13mm f/5.6.

What is a trifling $ 65K these days?

Well, as usual, a lot. Still a very nice lens, though.

What are the usual second hand prices for this lens? ;-)

There is no "usual" price, this is not a "usual" lens!

You would think there might be a market for a modern version of this lens. Optics have come a long way since 1972 - with aspherics, ED glass and modern coatings it should be possible to build a new 220° fisheye which is much smaller and better ...

I was just kidding
And yes it should be possible, but I doubt if we will see that in the near to mid-term future. Nikon currently appears to have other problems than to focus on feasibility studies of that extreme kind.

I expect you are right, but it is worth noting the new 19mm PC-E lens is also extreme ... :o

Price seems OK compared to the one I rented for Scotland, it was sold for 50.000€ - It was an Ai, nice glass but needed an internal cleaning of the glass,,,
