Nikon 6mm f/2.8 ultra rare fisheye lens

Nikkor fisheye lensBack in April 2012 Grays of Westminster sold the ultra rare Nikon 6mm f/2.8 fisheye lens for £100,000

The 220º Nikkor fisheye lens weighs 5.2kg, measures 171mm in length and has a diameter of 236mm. It’s one of the few 220º Nikkor fisheye lenses ever to be made.

Last week another one turned up on ebay : Nikon 6mm Fisheye on eBay

This one failed to reach the $49,500 dollar reserve (approx £30k), which compared with the previous sale price was an absolute bargain.

Even so is any lens really worth this kind of price tag?  Would you pay this kind of money for a lens?
