→ This Nikon Nikkor 6mm f/2.8 fisheye lens is listed for sale at the Leitz Photographica Auction:

One of the most famous and remarkable lenses ever made. With an astounding 220° field of view and a maximum aperture of f/2.8, it redefines the possibilities of photography. First introduced in 1972 and produced exclusively for special orders, this lens is incredibly rare, with believably fewer than 200 units ever manufactured. The offered example is a very late AI version, preserved in absolute mint condition with clean and clear optics. The lot includes a special leather front cap, rear cap, original metal carrying case, and a Nikon F2 camera.
