Has anyone tried out the new .3 fisheye lens from Century. It's about $900. I'm going to get it next week.

I'm sure it's a quality lens. But the one I saw last year from Century was so heavy it threw the camera completey out of balance. I'm not that savy when it comes to lens design/construction. But it seemed like extensive handheld shooting would be very difficult with that lens out front. My $.02.
