Peleng 8mm on a Nikon D50

Hi,
I am thinking of buying a Peleng 8mm for my Nikon D50. I have heard of
mirror collision problems with Nikons. I could live with not focusing
to infinity as I am likely to always use it on f8 + anyhow but does
anyone actually have practical experience of this combination?
My other question is whether a similar approach could be taken with
this combination of lens and body to that used by Agno for their
"MrotatorC" Mrotator for SIGMA 8mm head (http://www.agnos.com/) i.e. a
complete spherical in 3 shots. (I think they are a little cheaky
claiming 3 shots as one would need a nadir shot if you didn't want the
tripod in...). Is anyone taking this approach?
Would be grateful for your opinions/thoughts.
Roger
