★★★★☆ 4.4 (47)

Converting the SEL16F28 into a 10mm f/2.8 fisheye, this converter delivers an ultra-wide 180-degree perspective with a constant f/2.8 aperture in a compact 295g body. It uniquely adapts to the SEL20F28 for a 13mm focal length, offering flexible wide-angle options without investing in a dedicated lens. This accessory is best for APS-C shooters wanting an affordable entry into exaggerated, creative fisheye effects for portraiture and close-up work.
