Sony 16mm f/2.8 Fisheye SAL-16F28 User Reviews

Great distortion. Sharp. Solid build. Reasonable price S/H.Expensive when new.
Great on a full frame, but acts like a standard 24mm on an APSC, so not really any use unless you use full frame.

Fantastic fun and the IQ is really good on the A99, even at f/2.8.
Built-in hood to protect the protruding lens and comes with a soft hood that is the lens cap. The filters date back to the film era, so I have not tried an, but the standard or NORMAL, as it is written. This is probably just a skylight filter. Filters are not changeable, so no CPL can be used. -
Fisheye's design with distinct curvilinear distortion offers complete coverage of a full-frame format image sensor.It's a pricey lens, but it allows some creativity not found in any other type of lens. Fisheye has been around for a long time, there's a reason for that. the images produced add something different.
Great quality lens, still getting used to it and testing all the waters but I love the results so far.

small, wide anglenot really that wide
Got this as a hand-me-down. The fisheye is interesting, but gets tedious very quickly. The IQ isn't that great, and f2.8 isn't really fast either. I'd want more for this price. 16mm isn't really wide enough to justify getting a fisheye.
