I was searching for a super wide Sony make high speed lens, I was a bit hesitating to purchase fisheye because I knew it distorts and 11~18 is not that fast. I tried 16MM as I had no options and what a pleasant surprise – I am happy to say that with 16 MM I have been handling distortion to my advantage..
It is very effective glass, unbelievable sharp and captures great rendition, very cute size to enjoy, it is now always on my camera, don’t feel like changing to earlier (sigma20-40) wide angles.
Filters are integral part of this lens but not much of an attraction in today’s world. Wish instead Sony had thought of protecting the outer surface, as it can scratch too easily.
Amazon.com was offering best value, quick in supply; actually nothing to say beyond that I have been buying my stuff since many years from them. May be they needed to increase range in accessories, beyond standard items.
