Used Sony VCL-ECF1 Fisheye Conversion Lens for Sony 16mm f/2.8 E-Mount Lens

A wonderful auxiliary lens for the Sony NEX system, for a full frame Fish Eye perspective. In the past, I purchased a Nikon 16mm, a Canon FD 15mm, Olympus OM 16mm full frame fish eye lenses (of course being a lens hoarder, still own them and like them on full frame sensor cameras) but the Sony NEX system is a 1.5x crop and the 35mm equivalent of a 1.5 x 16mm = the perspective of a 24mm full frame fisheye which is nowhere near as exciting as the original 16mm perspective. With this auxiliary lens, I can get that exciting perspective for creative shots.

I bought this just for fun and experimental video. The image looks distorted but for close shoot in cramped places where you want to capture more of the environment this could be useful.

i just wanted to know if this would work for an a390? i'm getting it soon (just ordered) and i would want to get this and want to know if it's compatible with my future camera.

This lens is both compact and lightweight and doesn't take a lot of room in your bag. It snaps in place very easily and is a well-worth-purchasing addition to your arsenal especially if you like to give a bit of distortion to your image for a more creative effect.

I have recently purchased the Sony Nex 3 with the 16mm lens. It is probably the best camera i have ever had (much better than anything Canon can make), but this fisheye lens is why I purchased the 16mm. PLEASE GET THIS FISHEYE LENS IN STOCK ALREADY ITS BEEN TO LONG OUT OF STOCK. I am beginning to think its been recalled for something bad about it because its been out of stock so long. I can not find it in any other stores, so sony get it in stock. People want it, and so do I.

Took this accessory with me home to Ireland. Used it within an old castle on the Sony SEL16mm with my NEX-5. No lighting problem (great shadow areas). Nice fisheye effect (without it looking overly warped). No problem on the 16mm (it was really at home there). Excellent images. Full tonal range and detail. Excellent construction and smart design.
