That’s an f/5.6 Lens – Still expensive and Fisheye, but not the same as this one being shown :)

Talk about being able to see behind!

Not sure about the Photokina reference, but according to this source… “Nikon’s 6mm fisheye lens was initially designed for an expedition to Antarctica. It featured a 220-degree field of view, designed to capture the entire sky and surrounding ground when pointed straight up.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisheye_lens#Focal_length
