This is a one-off, special design lens, with an angle of view of 300
degrees. It was made in 1984 by Zeiss on special order from a client in the
rubber tire industry, and was meant to help inspect the inside of tires. It is a
f/3.5 lens, with minimum aperture of f/5.6 (1.5 stops !), and it is in a
shutterless mount, though not a F-mount, but rather a modified CF-mount (It
still has a (useless) shutterspeed setting ring (without markings), and a (also
useless) pc-flash terminal). Some are said to be fitted in a full functioning
(shutter!) CF-mount. Close focusing limit is 10 cm. It has 9 lens elements, one
of them being a special yellow filter, making this lens unsuited for general
colour photography. Apparantly 50 were made, and some might still be available
(you might want to contact Hasselblad ;-) ).

Hi
As far as more detailed specifications: 9 elements in 7 groups, weight 1365 g. A
number were fitted with shutters so they could be used with cameras other than
2000 series. I was told that some of the lenses were also used by a company for
making holograms (I have no more details than that!). The only one I've examined
in detail was serial number 6831937 and it had a manufacturing date code of
November 1984. One pictured in Afalters book seems to be serial number 6831940.

FWIW, I have recorded 3 other serial numbers in addition to the 2 Rick gives in
his response, below. These are 41, 58, and 73, all from the same series.

The highest number I have prior to this group is 6821297 and the next one after
is 6832087. While the lower limit is not well defined, the higher limit
indicates that the  DI 24/3.5 could not have extended more than another 100
pieces. Interestingly, the lens in the next higher batch is another specialty
item, the S-Biogon 40/5.6

Date sent:        Thu, 14 Mar 2002 15:30:49 +0100

Hello,


I just found your "Fisheye lens overview" page at

http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/fishlist.htm

I can provide you with some corrections about the
manual-focus Minolta fish-eye lenses.

The 7.5 mm lens exists in three versions with only
cosmetic differences. These are:

MC Fish-eye Rokkor 7.5 mm f/4
MD Fish-eye Rokkor 7.5 mm f/4
MD Fish-eye 7.5 mm f/4

The MC has a minimum aperture of f/16, the two MDs have
f/22.  In all other aspects, the three are alike. All
create round images of 23 mm in diameter, after the
equidistant projection. All are 12 elements in 8 groups.
All are fixed-focus, pre-set to 1.2 m.  At f/4, depth
of field extends from 0.5 m to infinity (with a circle
of confusion of 1/55 mm).  All have built-in filter
revolvers with six filters (1A, 85, 80B, orange, red,
and FL-D).

The 16 mm lens exists in four versions, with some
substantial differences between them (only the
differences between 3rd and 4th version are mere
cosmetic):

MC Fish-eye Rokkor-OK 16 mm f/2.8:
    Construction: 11 elements in 8 groups
    Min. aperture: f/16
    Min. focusing distance: 0.3 m
    Built-in filters: 4 (1A, 80B, yellow, orange)

MD Fish-eye Rokkor 16 mm f/2.8:
    Construction: 11 elements in 8 groups
    Min. aperture: f/22
    Min. focusing distance: 0.3 m
    Built-in filters: 4 (1A, 80B, yellow, orange)

MD Fish-eye Rokkor 16 mm f/2.8, and
MD Fish-eye 16 mm f/2.8:
    Construction: 10 elements in 7 groups
    Min. aperture: f/22
    Min. focusing distance: 0.25 m
    Built-in filters: 4 (1A, 80B, yellow, red)

All four 16 mm lenses cover the full 24x36 mm frame, with
an angle of view of 180° over the diagonal.  They employ
the equisolid-angle projection.

All manual-focus Minolta fish-eye lenses are discontinued
from production.  Only the auto-focus AF 16 mm f/2.8 is
still current.

Another Minolta fisheye lens addition! These seem to be trickling in.

Before Minolta produced the MC 16mm full-frame fisheye, it had the 18mm
f/9.5 MC UW Rokkor-PG.

Specifications:

7 elements in 5 groups
Manual diaphragm, fixed focus
Minimum f/stop f/22
60x48mm, 240g
No front filter threads; extremely pronounced "flower" lens shade, as seen
here:
http://www.t3.rim.or.jp/~network/rokkor/lens/f1895.htm

It doesn't sound like any kind of fisheye, I know, but it does offer 180
degrees from corner to corner.

Unfortunately I have no information about whether it has built-in filters.
Perhaps someone can jump in later.

Hi,

Just to reply to this thread on the 18mm UW Rokkor-PG - the 
filters are special screw-ins at the rear of the lens. Mine
came with a Y48 and a UV, marked "UW Rokkor", but I do not know if any
others were manufactured. The 5/7 construction is evident from
the PG designation.

The lens is preset, does not have a focusing mechanism, and its
five-bladed diaphragm clicks at 9.5, 11, 16, and 22. The lens
shade and the cap are bayonet-mounted.
