[Konvas] 6mm lens !

[FauxFilm at aol.com]

Yeah, nice, but price is pretty high.
 
If you want a fisheye, I heartily recommend the 8mm Peleng BeLOMO... which  
is not only useful for 16mm but will cover 35mm as well. 
 
You can always get them from Doug Underdahl at Long Valley Equipment for  
about $800.  And sometimes they are on eBay for about half that (there are  some 
there now, such as #220286440202).
 
It's a great lens, for the rare occasions that I've needed fisheye I've  
loved it.  Bought mine a couple years ago for about $350, I think.
 
One thing of note, the 6mm lists its specs at 100° angle of view.... which  
is its angle for 16mm coverage. The 8mm Peleng has a super-wide 180°  view when 
used for 35mm (so wide that you have to be careful that things like  camera 
handles and tripod legs don't come into view).
 
Mine is PL mount, but I've seen them in a variety of mounts.  The  price is 
so low you could afford to have it remounted, if needed.
