Sony Ultra Wide Converter Converts E-Mount Pancake E16mm f/2.8 to Wide Angle Field of View, High Quality Design

2015-09-10T20:00:00

Bought this wide angle adaptor to take indoor shots of guest rooms in my Bed & Breakfast. It's really hard to get good shots of rooms, especially bathrooms (which are almost impossible without special equipment). This adaptor did a super job with no corner distortion. Easy to mount and remove too. Would definitely recommend.

I use this for interior photography. the image quality it delivers is astounding. I am very pleased with this purchase. CA is definitely noticeable in high contrast edges. It's not an issue for web-based home tours, but if you make big enlargements (11x14 or greater) you WILL see it.

This little clip on gadget adds mobile wide angle capability to the Sony Nex 6. I had already purchased the companion fish-eye to this little gem. Both of these lenses add a surprisingly sharp flexibility to the camera. I know it isn't in a class like the 10-18 lens, but it $700 cheaper.

Good for interviews when you can get very close to your subject and want to blur out the background.

Useful in landscape photography and in interior confined spaces. It is light weight and compact.

I have had the 16mm emount pancake lens for awhile. I don't use it much because the 18-55 emount is almost as wide. This adapter widens an image to 12mm or 18mm full frame equivilant. Now it makes the 16mm a truly wide lens. The attached picture which led into a series of swim pictures could not have been taken with just the 16mm. The lens is now uniquely useful on a NEX5N that produces great picture quality.

Just used extensively on a three week tour around England visiting stately homes in the National Trust. Absolutely essential for interior work where the 16mm is just not quite wide enough. Wouldn't travel without it, since it is so small and light. A bargain.

For all those that have complained that this lens does not work for the 30 & 50mm lenses, it is made to partner with the SEL16f28. It works brilliantly with the 16f28 on my FS100 Super 35mm sensor. Exceptionally sharp too, and does not seem to effect the low-light performance of the SEL16f28. No noticeable CA, and very little corner distortion. The build quality is good, and the lense comes with a sturdy protective case as well.

I used the 16mm lens without the wide angle converter and then added it. What a difference! Landscape is much more grand with it. See for yourself.

When wider is better, this lens gets the job done. This lens has very little edge distortion and is nicely compact so it doesn't take up much room in your bag or add weight to your shoulder. For more dramatic effects, there is also the Fisheye attachment lens (see that product review).

This is a great add-on lens for those looking for some wider angle shots. There is some distortion at the corners but hardly noticeable/bothersome unless you're looking for perfection. It's affordable compared to buying another lense, but obviously the performance isn't comparable. Just remember that the kit and pancake lenses cost 300 and 250. The soft plastic lens cap is horrible. I'm bound to lose it sooner or later. It isn't designed to click in place, instead it merely "holds" onto the lens. Whenever I use it, I just leave the cap in the bag and that leaves the large front element susceptible to damage.

This lens works great with the 16mm attachment. It is the only reason for owning the 16mm lens. Great for group shots, self shots and panoramas. If you like to use the panorama feature on your nex camera this lens is a must. The only downside is that there is no zoom when used with the 16mm lens. I have tried to attach the wide angle to the 18-55mm with no success. Overall, for the price it is a fun addition to my growing lens collection.

its is perfect for the 16mm lens but not as well with the zoom so was unable to use when subjects were at a distance... good for scenery and group photos or close ups.
