This is the first fisheye adapter Sony made for its APS-C mirrorless line. In this case, it is dedicated to a 16mm f2.8 Sony pancake lens. As all adapters, it is rumoured to be a low-quality piece of glass, but a cheap solution to have a fisheye image, and it’s not cheap at all. But is it true? despite the mediocre quality of the 16mm lens, I’ve seen interesting results, so I wait to be able to test it from a VR panorama point of view. It is as big as the 16mm lens itself.
compatibility
