Peleng 3.5/8mm has now been PL converted by Long Valley for use
and 16mm cameras. It offers superior performance over

with 35mm, S16mm,

Nikkor 8mm conversions in these areas:

weighs just 14.6 ounces; Nikkor weighs 2 lb. 9 ounces
front element is just 2.75" in diameter, Nikkor is 4.75"
length is only 1.75"; Nikkor is over 4.5"
The R-8 also has superior coverage - it won't clip the corners of the 35mm 16:9
widescreen HD extraction like the Nikkor-8, so it is future format safe. Finally, tests
show the R-8 goes toe to toe with the Nikkor 8 in sharpness, color and contrast!
