I thought the Sony SEL16F28 was a wide-angle lens. What exactly does this do, and how does it relate to the Sony SEL16F28? Thanks!

You put this on top of the SEL16F28 and it turns it into an ultra wide, I think from 16mm to 12mm, i really recommend it.

It should have the 35mm equivalency of a 18mm lens. It makes the 16mm a 12mm (because of the .75 factor), but it goes on a camera with a 1.5 crop factor. The 12 x 1.5 makes it 18mm--a wide angle lens.

This additional lens attachment goes on, and is used in conjunction with the pancake lens for additional wide shot capability. So in plain English, this makes your wide angle lens wider.

Sorry, I only have the Nikon version of this lens. I don't know anything about any Sony versions of the lens.

This is not a wide angle lens. This is a micro lens meaning it is for up close photography. Google "wide angle" lens and u will find many helpful websites.

yes...to be clear - this is NOT a lens by itself - it fits on the end of one of your existing lenses to give you the wide angle view....works great for us.

The a57 is THE camera I use this lens on. It works perfectly. But I did have to enable Release w/o Lens. That is in the menu, just find it and enable it. I think the reason for that is because this lens is a totally manual lens with no electronic pins, the camera doesn't recognize it's on the camera and if the mode is disabled it treats it as a camera with no lens. But after enabling Release w/o lens, you will be able to take awesome wide angle photos.

This wide angle lens will screw on to the front of any lens that you might have that has a 58mm threaded end. Look on the lens you have and see what number is on the side. It will be 54mm, 58mm etc. This is not to be confused with the optics of the lens, this refers to the thread diameter.I use it, also on my Canon Rebel XT but it will work on any camera that has a 58mm lens. It is cheap; so, I took a chance. Have not really used it yet other than to see if it fit. Good luck.

Hi TJ, this Sony Lens SEL20F28 is an E-mount type of lens. When using on an E-mount type of Sony Camera, there is no need to have strange hood in between. -Ely

The 28-300 is more of an all around lens. It is powerful enough for both wide angle and telephoto. The difference of the f stops is not that drastic. I have the 28-300 and used it only in Africa for two weeks and have hundreds of great pictures, many that the 70-200 could not produce.

It's a hugh difference; this is a fisheye, 16mm it's a wide lens. try it, its awesome!

Wide angle refers to a lens that has a short focal length, thus capturing more of the scene in the photo. This is a micro lens (Nikon calls them macro), which allows you to take pictures of objects very close up, so that they appear larger in the photo than they actually exist in real life.

If the lens you use on your camera doesn't have a diameter the same as the wide angle lens, then you may have to purchase an adapter. If, however, the diameter is the same, the wide angle lens will simply screw into the end of existing lens of your camera. It does not screw into the body of the camera, but instead, into the EXISTING LENS. In other words, the wide angle lens simply becomes an extension of the existing lens attached to your camera

The 15mm wide angle is nice, but I had image quality issue with my copy of this lens. I don't think it's worth the money. I just recently bought the Canon 10-24mm lens and am much happier with it as a wide angle choice. Don't get sucked in by the fact that it's got a nice general purpose range. Its quality just doesn't match its cost.

Be careful in what you expect. With the wide angle on a regular lens you will get a lot of distortion around the edges. I was trying to get by cheap with shooting rooms for real estate and it never did work out so I ended up buying a Tamara wide angle len that cost about as much as the Nikon 5100 body that I had bought. Your not investing a whole lot in buying these two lens but don't expect the results of having a good wide angle or telephoto regular lens.

I haven't but I can tell you this lens is very wide and appears to be coming from a very far distance. it might be a bit too wide & distant to really capture what you want but try it out and let us know how it comes out!

yes, I tested and it was very sharp on 7R, AF worked really well also, this lens the only solution to WIDE ANGLE for Sony 7/7R

The widest angle on the camera I believe is 23mm. Which isn't that bad, and with the price around $200, this camera is well worth it. I bought when it first came out around $300. I still don't regret buying it. If your really looking for a nice "smart" camera, then this is the one. If you want a more professional camera, go with a Sony Hx-300 ($400) or a Sony Hx-200 ($300). Hope I help! Any more questions, just ask :)
