Makes me wondering what quality to expect. If they can do a fisheye for about €100 why can other companies not do it? Can't imagine a fisheye for mFT or NEX to be more complicated than a fisheye for 1/2.3". J.

Complicated?
It is about size.... The bigger glass elements are, the more expensive they will get. Nex is APS-C size, 4/3rds still is a LOT bigger than that tiny compact digital sensor Pentax is using...
Both the material costs and elements manufacturing costs will be a lot lower, due to that tiny sensor.
