With 5 days to go, I suspect that'll rise a bit.

Doesn't look quasi to me.

I've got the 35/3.5 too, but this is a true fisheye from what I've been able to tell. 
Obviously appealing since Pentax doesn't make one for the 645.

There was a Shutterbug review of Kiev cameras and lenses a while back which can be 
found here:

The guy seems to like it. He also seems to imply that maybe Kiev Cameras isn't the 
place to buy it...he seems to favor Kiev USA.

The part that surprises me is that the lens has a P6 mount, which I assume means 
Pentacon 6, and that there's a Pentacon to Pentax adapter. I'd never heard of such a 
thing...
