    f you have a taste for wild fisheye shots, here's the ultimate lens. It's claimed that it can "see behind itself", was made as a proof-of-concept for a trade show in 1970, and can be yours. If you have $160,000 lying around, that is.

    Officially called the Fisheye-Nikkor 6mm f/2.8, the lens was unveiled at the Photokina trade show in Cologne, Germany in 1970. It's 7 inches long, has a diameter of 10 inches, and weighs over 11 pounds. Most crazy of all is the fact that it offers a picture angle of 220º.

    Very few of the things were ever made, and they largely ended up being used for extremely technical applications such as architectural shots. The result is a price tag of $160,000. If you want to own perhaps the most ridiculous lens ever made, it's on sale through Grays of Westminster in London, UK.
