Thank you Peter!

Thanks Peter. I visited the Space and Rocket center when I was very young, in Scouts, and was excited to go back and see the Saturn V and other rockets on display. The 8mm fisheye is always an interesting lens to play with.

Bryan, I remember images like yours, so i looked up that 1970 lens made during our Space age

Thanks for posting modern versions!

Randy, thank you very much for the reminder. I hadn't actually thought about that connection, but indeed my lens would have been manufactured mere months after we reached the moon (an early pre-AI model).

Few people today are using them, being mostly a collectors item. Were circular fisheye images at all common in media at the time?

Was it the same model lens as hal 9000 used?

What a beast the Saturn V was.

And yes the circular fish eye image was quite common.
