Sony SEL057FEC Specification

The Sony SEL057FEC is a high-performance fisheye converter lens designed to offer a unique perspective for photography enthusiasts and professionals. Engineered specifically for the Sony E-mount full-frame cameras, this lens converter transforms the existing 28mm lens into a 16mm fisheye lens with a 180-degree angle of view, enabling breathtaking panoramic and hemispherical shots. The lens maintains full G Master quality, ensuring minimal distortion and maximum sharpness across the frame. Constructed with high-quality optical elements, the SEL057FEC guarantees superior image quality with precise edge-to-edge clarity.

The converter seamlessly integrates with the original lens, preserving automatic focusing capabilities and EXIF data for convenience in post-processing and cataloging. Its robust build features precision engineering with a solid metal finish, ensuring durability and a premium feel. The lens is also dust and moisture resistant, making it suitable for various shooting environments, including challenging outdoor conditions.

Weighing approximately 418 grams, the SEL057FEC is compact and portable, ensuring ease of use without adding significant bulk to the camera setup. The bayonet-type attachment allows for quick and secure installation and removal, facilitating a smooth transition between shots. Designed to meet the demands of both amateur and professional photographers, the Sony SEL057FEC fisheye converter enhances creative possibilities with its wide-angle capabilities while maintaining the high standards of optical performance expected from Sony’s camera equipment.

Sony SEL057FEC F.A.Q.

What is the primary use of the Sony SEL057FEC lens?

The Sony SEL057FEC lens is a fisheye converter designed for use with the FE 28mm F2 lens, primarily for achieving creative wide-angle and fisheye effects in photography.

How do I attach the SEL057FEC to my Sony camera?

To attach the SEL057FEC, align the white index mark on the converter with the white index mark on the FE 28mm F2 lens, and rotate the converter clockwise until it clicks into place.

Can the SEL057FEC be used with other lenses besides the FE 28mm F2?

No, the SEL057FEC is specifically designed to be used with the FE 28mm F2 lens and is not compatible with other lenses.

What is the field of view when using the SEL057FEC with the FE 28mm F2 lens?

When attached to the FE 28mm F2 lens, the SEL057FEC provides a 180-degree diagonal field of view, offering a full-frame fisheye perspective.

How do I clean the SEL057FEC lens properly?

Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently wipe the lens surface. If necessary, use a lens cleaning solution and apply it to the cloth, not directly on the lens.

What should I do if the SEL057FEC is not focusing correctly?

Ensure the converter is securely attached to the FE 28mm F2 lens. Check that your camera settings are correct for manual focusing, as the SEL057FEC may affect autofocus performance.

Is image stabilization available when using the SEL057FEC?

The SEL057FEC itself does not have image stabilization. Any stabilization would need to be provided by the camera body if it has in-body stabilization features.

How does the SEL057FEC affect image quality?

The SEL057FEC maintains high optical quality by using precision optics, although some slight distortion typical of fisheye lenses may be noticeable.

What maintenance is required for the SEL057FEC?

Regularly clean the lens surfaces and store the converter in a dry, cool place when not in use to prevent dust accumulation and potential mold growth.

How do I store the SEL057FEC when not in use?

Keep the SEL057FEC in its protective case or a padded camera bag compartment to avoid scratches and dust. Ensure the lens caps are on when storing the converter.
