I can't remember if it's this fisheye or another old Nikon that requires the camera to be in MLU mode to even physically mount...

This one and a few other ones (7mm, 8mm, and/or 9mm) all require MLU. They had at least 2 or 3 extreme fisheyes from that era.

Apparently if you have a small enough finger or plastic tool you can hold the mirror up while mounting the lens with cameras that don't have the proper MLU.

I stand corrected.... This 6mm somehow offers through the lens viewing and focusing. The 6mm f5.6, 7.5mm f5.6, 8mm f8 all require MLU. The 6mm and 8mm f2.8s do not.

I did a very brief search for some image samples and couldn't find any - anyone know where some are?

The peephole definitely has less vignetting.

Tres lame if you ask me. Especially for the cost.

On the plus side, you can't complain about soft corners.
