Sony VCL-ECF1 Fisheye and VCL-ECU1 Wideangle Conversion Lenses for the 16mm f/2.8 Lens

The VCL-ECF1 and VCL-ECU1 Conversion lenses for the 16mm f/2.8 lens (sel16F28), are both great values for the dollar in my opinion. Going for ~110 US each, they provide you with much more flexibility, creativity, and maintain a fast f/2.8 Aperture!! They basically transform the 16mm (24mm equivalent) to a 18mm ultra wideangle lens, and a 15mm Fisheye lens while maintaining the f/2.8 aperture. I just recently finished reviewing these and I must say they performed really good. They also come in little hardened carrying cases for convenient storage which is a really nice positive for safe small storage!!

New Sony 20mm f/2.8 Pancake Wide Angle lens – SEL20f28

The 20mm f/2.8 Alpha E-mount Lens from Sony is a compact 20mm prime lens for the Sony NEX line of APS-C sized mirrorless cameras. Its 35mm focal length equivalent is 30mm which classifies it as a wide-angle lens with multiple applications. Its maximum aperture of f/2.8 is bright enough for low-light capture and shallow depth of field imaging and its optical design consists of three aspherical elements which correct distortions and aberrations and provide clear, high contrast, detailed images. A smooth, quiet internal stepping motor is used for both focus drive and aperture actuation and makes this lens ideal for shooting video. Less than an inch long and built with aluminum alloy, it is both compact and durable. Autofocus and Direct Manual Focus, which allows for precise manual focus even in AF mode, is supported for both photo and video.

Sony 55-210mm F4.5-6.3mm Lens – SEL55210

The Sony 55-210mm E-Mount lens is the perfect complement to the 18-55mm kit lens (SEL1855), and I really enjoyed reviewing it!!  For my style of shooting I tend to prefer the higher focal length zooms though so keep that in mind. What is so nice about this lens is you can zoom right in to something from a distance and then zoom out and create a totally different composition. For Portraits and Sports in particular I love this. For example you can take a full body shot at 55mm, then almost instantly zoom in to 210mm for a killer head shot without even moving! Also with such a high focal length you can separate your subjects from the background very easily creating awesome depth and Bokeh’s.

Key Features:

• Telephoto Zoom Lens
• Focal Length: 55-210mm (82-315mm 35mm Equiv)
• Smooth, Quiet Internal Autofocus

Sony 30mm f/3.5 Macro Lens – SEL30M35

The Sony E-Mount 30mm Macro lens can produce true 1:1  Magnification!! However, you will need to be extremely close to your subject in order to achieve that due to the relatively wide focal length of 30mm. I believe Sony did this to simple keep the size of the lens as small as possible. Not the biggest deal, but worth noting if you plan on shooting living things. Being a prime lens, the Sony EL30M35 also makes for a solid wide angle portrait lens for the Nex camera system.

My Sony SEL30M35 Lens Review >>

Key Features:

• 1:1 Magnification Ratio
• Aspherical/ED Glass Elements
• Smooth Quiet Operation for Video

Sony 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 Zoom Lens – SEL18200

The Sony 18-200mm lens is a great all around lens that can pretty much handle any photography situation. The SEL18200 is very large and heavy for the Nex camera system though, as it was originally engineered to balance with the Nex-VG10. I actually prefer this lens over the much smaller Tamron and Sony (SEL18200le) 18-20mm Lens versions. The Tamron and New Sony 18-200mm E-Mount Lens are significantly smaller and lighter, but the original SEL18200 is sharper in my opinion. At least with the lens copies I had

Sony 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 Zoom Lens – SEL18200LE

The New 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 OSS Lens for NEX Cameras from Sony is significantly smaller and lighter than comparable lenses, and is a high magnification zoom lens perfect for a wide range of shooting situations with Sony’s NEX mirrorless cameras or handycam camcorders. With a compact size, achieved in part by downsizing the autofocus motor and optical image stabilization unit, the Sony SEL18200LE offers a powerful mix of versatility and image quality. This is perfect for shooting where a light, compact camera and lens combination is ideal.

With the broad focal length coverage of the lens, from 18mm wide angle to 200mm telephoto, it is also an ideal high-magnification “travel” lens. With it, you can capture grand landscapes, charming portraits, and even sports and nature shots. Optical SteadyShot (OSS) technology aids in this by cutting down on blur caused by camera shake, reducing the reliance on high ISO settings when shooting in dark environments.

Sony 50mm F1.8mm lens – SEL50F18

The Sony 50mm f/1.8 E-mount Lens  is probably the most anticipated and wanted E-mount lens currently out other than the Zeiss 24mm.

The F/1.8 aperture will allow for some killer separation from the backgrounds and also allow for extreme low light shooting. With the combination of the f/1.8 aperture and Optical Steadyshot built in, the Nex 50mm f/1.8 lens could be one of the best low light lenses on the market!!

Tamron 18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 Di III VC Lens

The Tamron 18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 Di III VC Lens is a nice all in one lens solution with high tech image stabilization. It’s physically large and heavy as it relates to the Nex cameras so this may not be the lens for you, but it does perform quite well overall. I did some testing with it and the Sony 18-200mm and had fun using both lenses. I also got good results from both lenses although the Sony had the edge in sharpness.

Rokinon 8mm Ultra Wide Angle f/3.5 Fisheye Lens

The Rokinon 8mm Fisheye is a high optical quality lens for a fair price! It’s a fully manual lens, so you need to change the aperture and focus manually.

It’s also extremely wide at 8mm which can create some incredible compositions!! For the money it’s really hard to not highly recommend this lens. The only downside is it’s fairly large size.

The Rokinon 35mm T1.5 Cine Lens for Sony E-Mount with geared, manual focus and aperture control rings, is optimized for digital cinematography.

Optically, this lens is identical to the Rokinon 35mm f/1.4, which is known for its excellent sharpness, contrast and bokeh.

Hybrid aspherical lenses and multi-layer coating produce sharply defined images with a minimum of flare and ghosting. There is slight vignetting at T1.5 on a full-frame sensor but it is nearly gone by T2.0, and APS-C or MFT sensors will probably never see it. The 35mm lens focuses as close as 12″ (30.48 cm) from the lens. A bayonet mount, petal-type lens hood is also included.

Key Features:

• At T1.5 this lens is great for low light and shallow depth of field
• The focus and aperture control rings feature industry standard gearing
• Covers a wide range of sensor formats, including full-frame 35mm
• 10 elements in 12 groups, including one hybrid aspherical lens

The 85mm has a minimum focus distance of 3.28′. Internal focusing minimizes the effects of lens breathing, which insures a more consistent angle-of-view when adjusting focus. The lens is composed of 9 elements in 7 groups, including one aspherical element to reduce spherical aberrations. In addition, multi-coated elements help improve light transmission.

The Rokinon 8mm T/3.8 Fisheye Cine Lens for Sony E-Mount provides APS-C format cameras with a fisheye, 180° angle-of-view. The maximum aperture is T3.8 and can be stopped down to T22.

SLR Magic

SLR Magic 35mm f/1.7 MC lens for Sony E-mount

The SLR Magic 35mm f/1.7 lens is a multi coated manual prime lens that is made to work with the Sony NEX system for camera bodies such as the NEX-F3, NEX-5N, and NEX-VG20. Lens is in native E-Mount lens and will work directly on your camera!

What is really special about this lens is that it is very light weight (~100g) and has six unique aperture blades. When wide open itproduces silky smooth bokeh. When closed down to f2.8 it forms a special shape and the bokeh of the resulting photo start to swirl with a slight Lo-fi feel. When closed down to f8 it forms a unique square shaped aperture opening. In other words it is kind of likehaving three lenses in one! It is the signature of the SLR Magic lens and it is quite interesting.

The lens is great for creative photography. We occasionally receive questions about how this lens differ from the kit lens. Field of view (FOV) becomes 52mm on the SONY NEX camera. This is the normal focal length in 35mm photography and is great for use in proper framing for a shot which may be difficult to master with the kit lens of your camera. A perfectly round aperture is achieved at f2 for the 35mm f1.7 lens so it is great to use as a portrait/normal lens as its FOV becomes 52mm on the Sony NEX camera.

The lens is a fully manual lens and it is a great lens for creative photographers who would like to take artistic photos with a shallow Depth of Field. It is easy to use

Manual focus is easily achieved by the assistance of x7-X14 zoom of MF Assistance function in Live View. Users are advised to use Aperture priority (A mode) with this lens. User would have to select shoot w/o lens mode in the camera setting. More advanced users may use Manual mode (M mode) when using this lens for creative opportunities. It is also recommended to shoot in M mode when either the internal or external flash is used as TTL metering is not enabled in Aperture priority mode.

Lens Filters

Lens Filters offer a variety of purposes, but are most commonly used for darkening the scene (or slowing down the shutter speed), Polarizing, UV, or lens protection.

Circular lens filters, like the Tiffen filter kit below, screw on to the front of the lens itself. It’s hard to see in the image to the right, but threads are there to except lens filters as well as the conversion lenses in this particular case with the 16mm Pancake Lens.

Most of the Sony E-Mount lenses take a 49mm lens filter size. However, be sure to check the specs on your particular lens before ordering as the 18-200mm lenses are 62mm and the Zeiss 24mm has a 40.5mm filter size. The lens filter size is in located on the front of the lens as you can see in the example photo to the right of the 16mm pancake lens.

Just like lenses, filters use glass!! The better quality glass, the more expensive the filter. Multi-coated lens filters tend to cost more just like lenses, and same goes for build quality etc.. Basically you get what you pay for.  If you think about it logically for a second; Why would you want to put a cheap piece of glass in from of your expensive high quality lens glass?? It makes no sense from a optical quality stand point, so at the very least I recommend you get a mid-grade lens filter and use it only when you need it for it’s intended purpose.

One other important note about Lens Filter investments!! Lens filters can be expensive, so if you have a larger lens that you would like to use the lens filter on you don’t have to necessary buy two filters. What you can do is buy the lens filter for your largest lens that you plan on using it on, then buy lens step up adapters to attach the high quality lens filter to your smaller lenses. This is what I did, and ended up investing in One very high quality B+W 77mm BW Multi-Coated Thin Circular Polarizer. This will work on my all my lenses as long as I have the correct step up adapters. In my case I needed a 49mm(for most Nex lenses) to 77mm(my largest lens) Step Up Adapter >>, and I also needed a 62mm to 77mm Step Up Adapter >>. Another common step up adapter you may need would be a 49mm to a 62mm if you had both the Sony 18-200mm lens (62mm) and the 50mm f/1.8 Prime Lens(49mm), for example. You would then be able to use the large 62mm filter on the smaller 49mm filter sized lens. This is much cheaper than having one filter for each thread size!! Plus when you invest a lot of money, you want to get the most out of your Lens Filter Investment.

With all this in mind you may not know what filter to invest in, and even why you might want it? This is totally understandable and that is why I recommend getting a decent kit when your ready to play around with some filters Once you figure out what filters work for your style of photography, you can then consider investing in a higher quality filter to preserve and enhance your optics to it’s best potential.

Lens Filter Kits For Sony Nex Lenses

Tiffen 49mm Digital Essentials Filter Kit

This entry level Tiffen 49mm Digital Essentials Filter Kit contains all the basics that an outdoor digital shooter will need. Not the highest quality filters on the market, but an nice affordable kit that includes all three basic filters and a carrying case for everything.

UV Protector
These are wise initial investments. They help protect your valuable investment from dust, moisture and scratches, which can lead to costly repairs.

Circular Polarizer
Light rays which are reflected become polarized. Polarizing filters are used to select which light rays enter your camera lens. They can remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water or glass and also saturate colors providing better contrast. The effect can be seen through the viewfinder and changed by rotating the filter. The filter factor varies according to how the filter is rotated and its orientation to the sun.

Neutral Density
Neutral Density filters from Tiffen have several uses and offer the possibility to achieve otherwise unachievable results. They enable the shooter to adjust exposure without affecting color balance. ND filters appear gray and reduce the amount of light reaching the either the sensor of a digital camera or the film plane of a traditional film camera. Neutral Density filters are used to create some unusual special effects such as capturing the “blur” of the rippling water of a waterfall or the swirling effect of city traffic. Since they allow the use of slower shutter speeds in bright light, it becomes possible to create these special effects that would normally not be possible to capture without the filter. And since they can also help to control your depth of field, they permit you to shoot at wider apertures. Ultimately, their value is in helping to prevent bright, overly washed out images shot in bright light.

The entire kit comes with a Tiffen padded storage pouch that will help keep your filters clean and free from dust, dirt, fingerprints and other contaminants,.

Tiffen’s ColorCore glass is produced through a process that entails permanently laminating the filter material in between two pieces of optical glass that are ground flat to tolerances of a ten-thousandth of an inch, then mounting them in precision aluminum rings.
