By all means, forward it to me. I have the distinct advantage of being a
semi-professional photographer (who also uses Nikon AF gear), work full-time
as a machinist, own a Sprint RS, and just chipped in with my Mom brothers to
buy Dad a Bridgeport mill, perfect for R&D projects like that.

Sounds like your shooting with an N90S? Just a guess. I can fit the
prototype using either my F4S, or my N70. And BTW Matt, Nikon has made an
even wider rectilinear lens for many years, the very expensive, special
order, 13mm f5.6 Nikkor. A stunning chunk of glass, and no, I don't have
one. ;-)

Send me your RFQ with drawings, and I'll give you an idea of cost &
turnaround. All copyrights totally respected, but suggestions for improved
performance and/or manufacturability may be offered. (I can at least make a
face like an engineer, since I have to work with their crappy drawings all
day long.)
