I'd be curious to see just how much fisheye effect does show up. 
Cotty's 1D-II is a 1.3 crop, so it ought to be more apparent than on a 
1.5 or 1.6 crop camera.

Another lens to consider is the Pentax SMC A 16mm fisheye. Only 1mm 
wider but every millimeter makes a big difference at these focal 
lengths, especially with a cropped-format sensor.

I'd like to know if the Tokina lens covers the 1.3-crop sensor (thery 
certainly don't warn against it). That information could be interesting 
in many ways :)
