It is a Nikon 6mm f/2.8 fisheye that covers 220 degrees, meaning that it can see behind itself. At $161,400 the added cost of a full frame Nikon body should be a minor issue.

I would never spend that much money on a rare fish-eye lens. Even if it were $1,000.00 I wouldn't buy it.

Though I bet some nice astro-photos could be had. If your actually read the article, you will see it was made for Antarctic explorers.
