Thank you Peter
You sure about the Av, I used some M lenses that way on the K10D.

I stand fully corrected
The preview button stops down the lens but does not meter (at least if they haven't changed that) you need to press the green button and it stops down and takes a metering but it does not read/say the aperture in the display.
You can use M and AV mode.

Indeed sorry, although the first page is quite on track and full of information so hopefully he forgives us

Could very well be, the optics and design looks the same as the K 8.4/2.8 Fish-Eye.
Bojidar has this info.
For a long time it was thought that this lens existed only as a prototype, but in early 2004 one lens was offered for auction at Yahoo Japan. The lens appears to be essentially identical to the prototype "smc PENTAX BIRDS-EYE 1:2.8 8.4 mm", but it carries the name "smc PENTAX FISH-EYE 1:2.8 8.4 mm". The lens shown for auction did not have the rubber ring between the aperture ring and the mount (visible on the prototype lens), but I think that it was because it had fallen off and not due to a production redesign.
Something very interesting about this lens is that it lacks a focusing ring! But at this short focal length, the depth of field is so huge, so no wonder...
It's fun to sniff around like this looking for special lenses and fins out more about them

Thank you hefty, still I don't see how the Pentax birds-eye lens can do that, I don't see a mirror in the front

So you want to use them outdoors...
If you think 200 watt is enough then a flashgun will also do and they are easier to take with you.
But that are just my thoughts though.
I've used the AF540FGZ on a night race beginning this month and it could reach 50/60 metres away without a problem.
Will try to she if I can upload a photo, I still need to do PP on them, it was an endurance race and I shot 720 photos

Thank you Ken
My computer is in need for an upgrade so will do that and make sure I can put Mac on it easily.

I know we are talking about those lenses here Pete, but I thought the camera stop down and take a metering also in Av mode... not so sure anymore
