More Zenitar...

I've used the Zenitar-M 16/2.8 for several years with a Sigma SD9, and used it both uncorrected and "defished" as a wideangle lens. I bought a Pentax *istDS fairly recently and the Sigma is finally in the auction site in the sky. I'm enjoying the Zenitar-M on the DS even more - the reduced crop factor of 1.5 (the SD9 is 1.7) means I get even wider views and even more challenge in composing shots to maximise the angle of view without the fisheye effect being too obvious. Here's one I like, taken earlier today:
