Sony VCL-ECU1 Wide Angle Converter

*****star

Very high quality bit of kit. Lov lay images. Really makes a difference.

Nope!

Very light & easy to fit. For the price the image quality is excellent.

Top quality optics. Far less expensive than an ultra wide lens. Easy to fit and remove.

Cant think of any.

Well built, weighted and easy to attach with the bayonet fitting. The converter gives the photographer an excellent wide angle option with great image quality to both the 18-55mm standard kit lens and the 16mm. Also comes with an excellent zip-up hard...

The lens shade throws a shadow over you picture when using the NEX built in flash. The shade should have been adjustable so it could be twisted round or, ideally, removable.

Produces crisp wide angle photos

Fantastic ultra-wide lens addon (roughly 12mm equiv, I think). Better picture quality than I expected. Clearly designed with the 16mm lens, rather than an afterthought.

Better image quality at the edges than the fish-eye, but not as wide. Must have adapter if you own a NEX (and 16mm pancake).
