16mm F2.8 Fisheye is a fisheye lens with a wide angle-of-view. You can enjoy
unique image-expression, owing to its unique deformation-effects.
This lens is designed for A-mount, which can be used on Sony α cameras.
Notes on use

APS-C
Precautions for flash use
Due to the lens' wide angle of view, edges of pictures will tend to be dark in
combination with a flash. Countermeasures, such as using bounce flash with an
external flash is recommended.
Vignetting
When you use lens, the corners of the screen become darker than the center.
To reduce this phenomena (called vignetting), close the aperture by 1 to 2
stops.

Depending on the lens mechanism, the focal length may change with any change of the shooting distance. The focal length assumes the lens is focused at infinity.

Focusing
When using the auto focus, the camera focuses the lens automatically.
You will find information on using each lens in this manual. Precautions
When focusing manually, set your camera to the manual focus and rotate the

before using" on a separate sheet. Be sure to read both documents before
using the lens.
Note
This lens is a wide angle type. Make sure the shoulder-strap, your fingers,
etc., are not in the frame when a picture is taken.
Depth-of-field scale
When focus is set on a subject, anything at that same distance will appear
sharp, and anything within a certain range before and beyond the subject will
also appear in focus; this is called depth of field. Depth of field depends on
the subject distance and aperture you choose and is indicated by the lines on

Do not hold the camera by the lens part extended for focusing.
Filter
This lens has four filters, which can be changed where appropriate. Make
sure to have one of the filters set when shooting, since the filter is part of the
optical system.
NORMAL: This is for general use. Use this filter, unless filter effects are
desired.
O56:
This is effective for use in shooting distant landscapes with
enhanced contrast, when monochrome shooting or using a
black and white film.
A12*:
This is for use in shooting under the sunlight with a tungsten
film. It prevents pictures from becoming blue, and maintains
accurate color rendition.
B12*:
This is for use in shooting under tungsten lighting with a
daylight-color film. It prevents pictures from becoming red, and
maintains accurate color rendition.
* No setting required when using a Interchangeable Lens Digital Camera. Adjust
white balance on the camera, when color temperature needs adjusting.
To change filters
Pull the filter-changing ring towards the camera, rotate it, and set the desired
filter setting on the filter index.
Remove the rear and front lens caps and the camera body cap.
Note

as a warning.
Do not press the lens release button on the camera when mounting the lens.
Do not mount the lens at an angle.
Exposure compensation
When using a filter other than NORMAL, the amount of light reaching the
image sensor (or the film) decreases. Exposure is automatically compensated
for in all auto-exposure modes, or in metered manual mode. If your camera
is set to the manual exposure mode and you are using a commercially-
available exposure meter, set plus exposure compensation. Test shooting is
recommended to determine the appropriate degree of compensation.
