No, it's definitely the 6mm, the 8mm is behind it in that shot.

That picture seems to be missing the 300mm f/2.

Yep, it's a 6mm. I used one in the early 80's to do some very early skateboard stuff on the first backyard ramps.
Only problem was it was impossible to use without getting in the shot as well (full 180 coverage) and a DOF of 0 to infinity.

I used to manage a camera shop in Oz and what is available 'special order' from Nikon is quite bewildering.
There are also specialist lense makers that work for the film industry/NASA/documentory makers ect that can built some very cool crap.
I've seen a lense for shooting insects in low light that has 2 seperate focus plains, ie one focus point at say 4" and one at 12" at f1.4 so you get the army of ants looking very interesting.
Also, one of NASA's craft had a 2000mm lense on board.
And then there was the 1000mm solid catadioptic lense that was availible in

Yup, Nikon is an industrial optics company, and make far more stuff than we see as consumer photogs. But they can cook up all sorts of stuff in their mad science labrotories with bunsen burners and schematics.
