HU : Large estate sale of Rokkor glass and Minolta bodies

[Nokton48]

One lens for sale I didn't know anything about is the 16mm fisheye. It seems to have selectable filters (skylight, yellow, orange and 80B) via a filter ring. First time I hear about such a design...are there other lenses made this way?

I do own the 16mm F2.8 MC Fisheye Rokkor and it's a great lens, I use it on my SRT's or my Nex-3's. Yes the B&W filters are built-in. Red, Orange, Yellow, and Skylight.

The only other one with built-in-filters, that I am aware of, was the 8mm MD Rokkor-X. That one was a full-frame fisheye lens, which produced a circular image on the film. No focus ring, either (I guess everything is in focus at 8mm)😀. Very expensive ($600-$700).

The 1000mm f6.3 RF Rokkor also had dial-in filters (now that I think about it). Would like to find one of those for myself 😎

I was very surprised too...I thought they were more in the 200-250$ range, except for the VFC version.

I had my eyes set on some lenses, but they went higher than what I was ready to pay.

Thanks for the info!

I know the Nikkor 6 and 8mm fisheyes had this, too. Kenrockwell described the latter as "look[ing] like a kid's arm holding a grapefruit," so it's the only practical way to filter the larger-diameter fisheyes.

In case you have not seen this video (and how huge a Nikkor 6 really is), he shows the changeable filter ring about half way through.
