Questions & Answers

VALERIE W : Will this converter work on my 16-50mm kit lens and take it down to a 10 mm lens?DANTE P : No, this converter is only designed to attach to the two Sony brand APS-C (crop sensor) E-Mount lenses mentioned in the description- the 16mm f/2.8 (SEL16F28) and the 20mm f/2.8 (SEL20F28). It will not fit any other lenses.
