Nikon FC-E9

I'm contemplating getting a Nikon FC-E9 fisheye attachment for a Nikon
8400, intending to use it as an ultra-wide angle (not a fisheye as
such). I plan to de-fish the image to get rectilinear perspective.
But before I buy this quite expensive lens I'd like to try out the
defish process with a sample picture. Anyone out there got one and
could email me a sample image showing buildings or interiors or almost
anything square or rectangular.

All the sample fisheye photos I can find on the web seem to be of
trees etc - I'm looking at what sort of result I can achieve compared
to a standard wide-angle lens converter on the camera.

Thanks in advance if anyone has one of these and can help.

I have one. I'm not sure I can find the original or contemporaries of
this, coincidentally posted to the "work area" thread:

Would you say that's about ten or twenty per cent of the image is
super-soft? Not really very useful, although I didn't try de-fishing.

Ah, here are a few mo

I'll look for the originals (from a CP5000, if I remember correctly).
