I think the terms "rectilinear" and "fisheye" are mutually exclusive. The
Zuiko 16mm is a full-frame fisheye, but it's still a fisheye like the 8mm. It
just has a 43mm image circle instead of a 23mm image circle. I wonder if you
could use it as a full-frame fisheye on a medium-format camera? Probably
couldn't get it to infinity focus, I presume.
