i got arsat from ebay last year for pentax 645n....the lens focusing feel good and optics are reasonably well made for the price i'm paying for......cheap alt when u don't need a fisheye that much....

Bronica 645 ETRSi has the Fisheye lens by Bronica made in Japan.
I am using Bronica 645 & 67 system. Nice picture quality.
