David:
I have the Zenitar fish-eye lens you mentioned in M-42 mount, IIRC, I
got it from Kievcamera in Atlanta, Georgia, definitely not a Leica lens,
but it sure is an interesting and fun lens, I used it on my Praktica,
Canon EOS (M-42/EOS adapter), Konica (Praktica/Konica AR adapter II),
all in stopped down mode, it is multi-coated, but because of the 180
degree coverage, you better watch your toes when you shoot vertically.
It shows a completely different color tone than any other lenses I own.
If shoot carefully, you can take advantage of the fish-eye perspective.
