Hey All,

I go the Nex-5n back and the 16mm Wide angle alone with the 2 available conversion lenses. I got some fisheye sample pics up and so far they look pretty good considering the price tag.

i was also pleasantly surprised with the fisheye. i was considering the rokinon 8.5mm but i figured i had the 16mm already, might as well get the FE converter. and the price difference is about $175 and i get to keep AF. the only thing i don't like about it is that i can't use my B+W 10-stop in front of it.

Thanks for the comments Kevin and I totally agree! For the money you can't beat it.

I don't think a filter like that will fit or work on any fisheye lens due to the "fisheye shapre" you would need a fisheye shaped filter if anything. I wish Sony would put in some built in ND filters, that would be great and convenient.

Best,
Jay
