We have written a lot about Nikon’s 6mm Fisheye lens. You can usually find one on eBay since the super-high price tag makes it a bit of a tough sell. But, the latest auction actually has some video shot through the lens.

As you can clearly see, the 220-degree field of view is really wide. I’m not a fan of circular fisheye lenses at all, so to me, this is just a true collector’s item. But, it’s cool to see some footage actually shot with it. Of course, now that we’re all innundated with super-wide GoPro footage, it doesn’t even look that crazy.

If you want to buy this copy of the lens, the bidding currently sits around $62,000.
