Here are two more images with the 6mm from my garden - The lens is in bad need of cleaning - Not ideal for a Fisheye at all

I didn't notice inside the store but it's quite clearly visible outside when you look into the lens and from images when stopping the lens down.....

First with the vertical tripod

For the pretty extravagant asking price of a half million DKK, a spring cleaning ought to be included. ...

Erik, your tripod solutions do seem to work flawlessly. Am I surprised? Not really.

Looking forward to shooting this lens in IR etc.

Erik, these are awesome!

I observe an interesting arc-shape ghost at the right bottom of the second image.   ;)

Will not take it apart, don't worry Jakov ;)

It has a lot of flare in all sorts of ways;) Keeping the sunrays under control is challenging so I just let it happen more or less ;)

I got the radio remote for the D810 so I'm behind tha wall ;)

Really, really nice work Erik.
Nice job with the mounting plate too..............I have a machine-shop (gear cutting) so I know quality workmanship when I see it  ;)

Thanks Ron ;)

Here is the Vertical base mounted under the 6mm - I had to trim down one of the rods since the D810 Camera body is a bit larger than the old film cameras

Not the easiest lens to play hide-and-seek with ... 220 degrees out of 360 are being watched.
