About this product

Product Information

The-Sony VCL-ECU1 18mm f/2 0-8.0 lens is a wide-angle tele-converter lens that will improve your current lens and camera, giving you a powerful capacity to shoot landscapes or work in tight spaces to produce deeper, richer, and clearer images. It does this by opening up the scene, allowing you to get more detail in the frame. It is simple to use; just attach the conversion to your current 16mm NEX series and start shooting. The device works by focusing on and attaching to the 16mm host lenses itself, so there are no contacts for communication with the camera, almost like a filter but with more technology and functionality. The EXIF data displays 16mm, so the cameras themselves don’t know it’s mounted. There is no reason why it won’t give you great results in video mode too. The Sony VCL ECU1 0.75x converter provides an 18mm equivalent focal length for wide-angle shooting with the 16mm f/2.8 E-mount. It opens up aperture from F2 (and can close as far as f8). It can be used as an autofocus or manual focus, and because it has a fixed length (18mm), it is considered a prime lens. With an aperture that can bring plenty of light into the photographic device, this converter makes it possible to take vibrant pictures in low lighting conditions too. Capture vivid portraits in dull or bright light as well as outdoor images of landscapes, nature, and sports. This Sony accessory adds just 4.41 oz. of weight to your photographic kit. As a lightweight converter, it is easy to carry and to use, and its size makes it convenient to mount on a Sony DSLR. Photographers can also use these accessories with a compatible conversion lens to enhance pictures with additional magnification. Sony designed these pancake lenses for use with different styles of converters. One is called a fisheye and the other is an extra wide 0.75x angle converter. The full frame 12mm converter and full frame 18mm converter provide the same coverage as this one, and due to the f/3.2-f/3.5 aperture, you get less light loss. When you mount this converter on the from of your camera's optical device, you notice it can be mounted in any position, and even if it is upsdide down you still get the same, clear image quality. The Sony VCL 18mm f/2 0-8.0 lens is made from aluminum alloy material with a silver finish. The converter comes with a built-in hood that can’t be removed. The front and rear covers have plastic covers the fit snugly in place. These front and rear caps protect the lens from damage. This Sony gadget is designed for use with your NEX cameras and with the SEL 8. It gives you a broader frame with which to compose your shots so that more of the surroundings can be included in the image. This wide angle Sony VCL ECU1 converter is a handy lens to take if you don't want to carry a lot of extra accessories but want to take an occasional wide angle shot.

Great for wider view. Severe stretching at edges. Fun lens to use.
This lens is great IF you have the 16mm and it will get you to 12mm. If you have the 20mm it will also work, but will get you to 16mm, which begs the question why you would not use or get the 16mm in the first place. Non of the other lenses work - at least the ones that I have 18-55 and 16-50 - and will results in severe vignetting. The lens is light, and attaches easily to the 16mm (and 20mm). It can be popped off the 16mm and held in 1 hand while shooting with the other to shoot 16mm. There are severe stretching at the edges due to the rectilinear projection (opposite of the fisheye) - but this is the charm of the lens. Image quality is OK and like the 16mm. My Nex3N and 5N both correct for the 16mm and correct for the adapter the same way. Images look OK. I have this and the fisheye (ECF1). I use the fisheye quite a bit more. JamesRead full review

A must have accessory for your Sony NEX 16mm lens
I like the fact that it extends the capabilities of the Sony 16mm lens and retains the optic quality of the lens. The only real con is that introduces some distortion on the edges but that is to be expected and it makes the camera 4 oz heavier. These are deal breakers and I would highly recommend this wide angle as a must have if you want to extend your wide angle capabilities with your Sony NEX camera and that of course you have a 16mm lens to attach to it.

A good quality lens at a very good price.
I bought this lens to pair with the Sony SEL-16F28 on my Sony NEX 7. It was a good decision because the pictures are very good. I plan to use the combo primarily for travel pictures in crowded or tight city streets. They should perform well in darker conditions as well. The quality and appearance are very good.

A must have if you have the 16mm f2.8
If you own a Sony NEX and have the 16mm f2.8, and you like shooting landscape, cityscapes... this is a must have, especially if you can find one used with good price. I won an auction that ended rather low, plus the same seller had another auction of the fisheye converter, which I also won with low price... So for me, it was a REALLY GREAT value.

Good product overall.
Serves the purpose of what it’s intended to do - have a wider view as needed.
