Questions & Answers

Michael M : will this lens work on my Sony alpha 100 ?Tommy C : It will technically work on the 100, but it won't give you the full fisheye effect. This lens was designed for full-frame sensors, the a100 has a "crop" factor sensor. Meaning the outer edges of what a full-frame sensor would capture are "cropped" off. So where as this lens will function correctly on the 100, the outer edges, or where the fisheye distortion is greatest, would not be captured. May give you a strange effect, enough distortion to not appear correct, but possibly not enough to suggest its a fisheye. Hope this helps...
