I have received it recently from Amazon.com. I mounted it in front of 14-140 kit lens of my Penny GH1. Photographs are reasonably sharp in the centre of the frame, but blurrs towards the periphery more than that of my expectation, may be due to it's use with a zoom lens. Using with a prime standard lense may provide better outcome. Focusing through this adapter is fast. The plastic build adapter rings seems to be very substandard in quality and liable to undergo damage if you are not very careful during their use. The build quality of the lens itself is very good, but use of metals made it very heavy thus making its use difficult at least in two ways. One, it makes an gross imbalance of weight between the body and the lens, so holding & operation of the camera is significantly less comfortable, two, excess weight in front makes the handling lens controls ( eg.zooming) very difficult.

After all I recomend it for those who needs fisheye infreqently and is not ready to invest lot for a dadicated fisheye.
