Unsatisfactory, upset with this product.

Not worth the money, is it worth buying a separate lens due to its compactness and slightly wider angle? Its pros: Compactness, viewing angle 83 degrees, zoom 18-55 has an angle of 76 Cons below: Sharpness on the open according to the resource is 28 lines per mm, and becomes maximum (56 lines per mm) only at aperture 6, I didnโ€™t write aperture 2.8 in its merits, you can shoot, for example, a portrait where sharpness is not needed, but which portrait is wide-angle? And for the landscape youโ€ฆ

Average quality of the product, especially for the money.

By no means the only lens in the "E" system, Strong geometric distortion is not a disadvantage, pancake 20f28 is narrow and expensive, Tip: Don' think about what disadvantages of this lens you will put up with, sel 16f28)

Pros
  • to f8
Cons
  • Edges are terrible up to f5.6 and after f11 for many Soneva glasses)

Quality of the product is at the level, I will recommend this product

Ay aunt Sonya, washed down the support of the phase af. That everyone is silent, it is not necessary. Or everyone is used to the fact that itโ€™s good to at least have the glass itself. Sigma 16 1.4 turns out to have outdone the 16 2.8 native joy in everything. Very upset about af Has some pros Everything in this glass is good: size, picture quality and assembly for their money. Different cons: But there is a wildly sad moment that spoils all the joy of using this glass - only contrasting af onโ€ฆ

I expected mediocre quality, but the product was pleasantly surprised.

A good choice for the photographer who is not limited to one versatile 18-55 kit lens. Yes, it slightly lathers around the edges, but only on the open. Yes, this is a fix, but, compared to 18-55, the angle is noticeably wider, it will give a head start by one stop in aperture ratio, and who needs 55 mm with an aperture as much as 5.6? Better buy a separate portrait. The stabilizer on such focal lengths is also useless. But it is compact, fast and can turn into a very budget ultra-wide orโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Cheap, very compact, light, bright, vcl-ecu1 and vcl-ecf1 attachments
Cons
  • not available for this price

Product satisfying the quality of the product, good price.

If you often shoot close parties, dinners, real estate (apartments, offices), or the "latitude of the streets", And you are ready, in which case, to turn the settings of the device, this glass will please. Without understanding the matter and on the machine, most likely, it will disappoint. It was possible to do underwater shooting with this lens, in pools and in the sea, it turned out well. A wide angle often saved when shooting blind. There is no stabilizer, but the hand-held twilight andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Wide angle. With him a room of 6 square meters. meters will fit into the frame with part of the floor and ceiling and will look like a school gym in the photo. The lens is small, the camera easily fits into a windbreaker pocket.
Cons
  • You can't deceive physics, the closer to the edges, the larger the peephole. The price for a new one is too big (to put it mildly). Sufficiently specific, therefore, as the only one, I would not advise.

A good product, I advise you to try it.

Pancake for the lazy to take the camera "just in case." In no case should be used by beginners as the main (and only), get the quality of most pictures like a soap dish and be disappointed in the camera. For the same price, the whale 18-55 will be better, there are taxiing and optical stabilization, and the pictures on the machine are much better, but with a pancake, you have to manually adjust everything to achieve what you want. I took a used pancake, I donโ€™t really regret it, but hereโ€™s aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • The size
Cons
  • Image quality, as a result - price

This, of course, is not a serious lens, just to see what a wide-angle is, although in skillful hands it allows you to get interesting pictures thanks to aperture. An alternative to it on the Sony NEX is the Zenitar 16 2.8, which is a fisheye. Zenitar has noticeable distortion even on crop, but you get used to such photos in a week. The benefit here is excellent image detail across the frame and a wider viewing angle. In principle, you can also use the huge Canon 15-85, which at an openโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Compact, light, cheap, the ability to install some wide-angle nozzles from Sony.
Cons
  • Low image sharpness, especially at the edges. Of course, like all budget wide-angle lenses, there are strong chromatic aberrations. If a speck of dust falls on the glass, it is very clearly visible in the picture. There is no stabilizer - despite the wide angle, due to the low weight of the camera, you need a shutter speed of at least 1/40 - 1/50 in order not to blur.
