Wide-angle prime
E 16mm F2.8 SEL16F28
Combine this compact wide-angle prime lens with any E-mount camera
for a totally new photographic experience. Mounted on any of the slim
bodies for which it is designed it becomes part of an extraordinarily
compact, portable photographic system that can slip comfortably into a
coat pocket, ready to shoot at any time. In action it gives you wide 16mm
coverage (equivalent to a 24mm lens on a full-frame 35mm camera) for
comfortable shooting in situations ranging from cramped indoor settings
to sweeping landscapes, and the large F2.8 maximum aperture is ideal
for handheld shooting in low light. The SEL16F28 is an excellent choice
for both stills and movies, particularly since its quiet autofocus/aperture
operation will contribute to high-quality movie sound.

Although the 16mm SEL16F28 is a wide-angle lens, these converters can give you an even wider view.
The VCL-ECF1 Fisheye Converter goes a step further with a 180° angle of view that is equivalent to a
15mm lens on a 35mm full-frame format camera, with fascinating curvilinear “fisheye perspective.”
The VCL-ECU1 Ultra Wide Converter provides an angle of view equivalent to that of an 18mm lens
on a 35mm full-frame format camera, making it possible to shoot dramatic wide-angle scenes with
extended depth of field. Both converters attach securely with bayonet mounts, ensuring optimum
optical alignment and image quality. Furthermore, these converters cause no light loss so f-stop values
remain unchanged.
