 "No need to step back to get great landscapes" 2003-10-15
By J. Alberto Gratacos (SAN JUAN, PR Puerto Rico)
Although it makes the already big Mavica CD500 bigger, it's well worth the added bulk by allowing you to take more of the landscape and making your rooms look bigger. The bad part is that it takes some time to screw on and change the setting to ON on "Conversion Lens". You will also need an external flash to use it in dark places because the lens blocks the flash and limits the F aperture to about 4 (less light reaches the sensors). Remember to buy the VAD-S70 ring adaptor (52mm). If you have a CD-500, I strongly recommend it, it's easy to use and the camera will reward you with even better photos.

 "It's big, really big" 2003-08-08
By
No matter what you're thinking this piece of glass is BIG and heavy. But that's ok because it's a fantastic lens. You may need to buy an additional Adapter Ring for your camera (VAD-S70) to use it. The Adapter Ring is around $$$ on average.

What's there to say really about this great lens? It hardly affects the stop on the camera, and althogh there is a touch of warping (fisheye) at the edges of the frame it's not enough to notice unless you're looking for it.

When you get the lens it comes with a nice pouch to keep it in, and lens caps naturally, The taking end cap has a lanyard to tie onto.

If you need a wide-angle lens and this one fits your camera (if you need the adapter you'll end up with two more adapter rings as the lens or the adapter ring comes with adapter rings, I can't recall where they came from) you can't go wrong with it. Just keep in mind that it's BIG and Heavy but wonderful.

 "Big Bulky and Beautiful" 2002-12-14
By JULIAN R.K. GARDNER-HOBBS (Castries, LC Saint Lucia)
This is one wide lens - but once I screwed it onto my F707 with one of the supplied adaptor rings and put the camera into macro mode, it was like rediscovering the camera.
The quality of the glass lens makes it a great companion for the Carl Zeiss fitted to the F707 and together they make for some very good shots with minimal distortion.
The gripes? Well it's huge, making the camera cumbersome and it also blocks off the built in flash. I guess you can't have everything...
I do shots of hotel bedrooms/bathrooms for my clients sometimes and in small rooms, I just can't get myself far enough into the corner to get the shot to show everything I want using the normal lens. This is where this lens really shines.

 "Excellent Wide Angle Zoom Lens" 2009-04-06
By Photo/Video Gearhead
With the 16-35mm f2.8 lens, Sony/Zeiss have introduced yet another high quality lens to complement their professional grade 85mm f/1.4 Sony SAL-85F14Z 85mm f1.4 Carl Zeiss Planar T Coated Telephoto Lens for Sony Alpha Digital SLR Camera, 135mm f/1.8 Sony SAL-135F18Z 135mm f/1.8 Carl Zeiss Sonnar T Telephoto Lens for Sony Alpha Digital SLR Camera and 24-70mm f/2.8 Sony 24 -70mm f/2.8 Carl Zeiss Vario Sonnar T Zoom Lens for Sony Alpha Digital SLR Cameras lenses.



The only alternative to this lens is the rare and coveted Minolta 17-35mm f3.5 G lens. I have tested both lenses using the Imatest lens test software. At an aperture of f3.5, the Sony/Zeiss 16-35 lens at 16mm exhibits better corner sharpness and less chromatic aberration than does the Minolta 17-35 G lens at 17mm. The only advantage of the Minolta 17-35 lens is that it is smaller and lighter than the Sony/Zeiss 16-35 lens.



A review of the Sony/Zeiss 16-35 lens may be found at the lemondedelaphoto web site. It is written in French but it can be translated via Google.

 "Sony at its best" 2008-03-19
By Kishansinh Gohil (Ahmedabad - India)
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.

By Guy J. Clark (Los Gatos, CA United States)
Not much to say about this item... it's just a lens protector filter. It appears to be well and uniformly coated and optically neutral in color. It fits the DSC-R1 perfectly as expected. Probably worth five stars, but I dislike hyperbole ;-)

A high quality screw-on 2x lens for video cameras. Aluminum and glass construction -- heavy, but solidly built. I was quite impressed when adding to the 10x optical zoom on my Sony DCR-PC330. A very distant cabin in the mountains came out surprisingly clear and sharp, considering the distance. A fine addition to my video camera bag.

 "Sony Tele-converter for R-1" 2007-08-10
By Marc McDonald (Colorado, USA)
This is a fine addition for someone who is generally happy with the zoom range of the R-1 and wants a lens to occasionally extend its reach.



Here's the down side. The lens weighs over two pounds and is slow to mount and dismount. It took me just under two minutes to go from the bag to assembled and ready to shoot. A tripod or some other sort of stabilization is a must, because you now have a huge five-pound camera once this lens is mounted.



Even with all of the bad stuff, the lens quality is nothing short of outstanding and the fit and quality of assembly are also quite good. It's not going to turn your R-1 into a great wildlife camera, but it is capable of producing prints that are equal to the camera's native performance. That can't be said for any of the Chinese accessory lenses for the R-1 that are being sold on the web as a cheaper alternative. If you can afford nearly $400 for the lens and the mount and have found yourself wishing to be able to capture a distant landscape every now and then, this lens is the ticket.

 "The best accessory for DSC R1" 2007-07-13
By Hector D. Silva Lemarroy (Mexico)
Since I bought the DSC-R1 I had in mind to get this huge set of lens. I had to wait a little bit, I wasn't sure the DSC-R1 was the best camera. After a couple of months of use I decided the DSC-R1 was going to stick with us for some time and that it was the time to get the accessories. Sony did a great job in adding several accessories for the camera. I bought the lenses and the adaptor required for it. I must say that the whole set (camera + adaptor + lens) is really heavy, even more than a digital SLR with accessories. The weight is not from the lenses but from the adaptor which is made from steel. If you're going to buy it don't forget to add a tripod to your order. If you value more picture quality than weight and want to squeeze all you can from the camera then go ahead and buy this set of lenses. It worths it. The picture quality is amazing, just pure optical zoom adds that extra 1.7x you need to get the feeling of being just beside the object being captured. If you really want to love this camera and you're just doing it for the fun, don't forget to add the digital zoom and, oh Mama, let me tell you, it rocks. You'll be as close than ever to your target. This lens is great, to be honest I love it. What I don't like at all is that if you're on the road don't expect to switch lenses that easy, you'll need a bag, carry the heavy adaptor and it will take some seconds before you switch lenses and take a new picture. Another bad feature is, obviously, that it makes no sense at all to take a picture from a target really close. Because the lens is like a fitting to the camera, you'll see the shadow from the lens tube with closer objects, which makes a difference compared to SLR cameras.

 "Tele Lens" 2007-06-27
By Mr. W. J. Bartlam
Well made & of good quality but not inexpensive, only works when on full zoom but then that is what its for at the end of the day. Takes nice shots when close to subject too

 "Impressive, most impressive" 2006-07-08
By D. Gordon (NYC)
I have to agree with the previous poster, this lens is very impressive. The pictures of this item do not represent how big this lens actually is. This thing is massive and heavy, yet you definately can wield it without a tripod. Makes a great addition to an already amazing camera. Much better than using the digital zoom by itself, but then, digital zoom combined with this lens is equal to about 400mm. The lens comes in a padded SONY drawstring bag with caps for ends. Definately recommended.

 "Interchangeable lenses versus complementary, add-on lenses, that is the question. " 2006-02-10
By Donal B. Botkin (San Francisco)
I have a DSC-R1 (see my other review) and have recently added the telephoto accessory lens from Sony to the toolbox. Oh, and its companion "adapter" too. This is not a cheap lens nor is it a lightweight one, but it seems to be a good one.



The front element of this baby is nearly 5" in diameter. What does that get you? No loss in f-stop to start with. That's right, the light-gathering ability of Sony's addition to the already phenomenal optics of the Carl Zeiss Vario Sonnar costs nothing in terms of your ability to "paint with light". (On your credit card, is a different calculation may appear.) The size of the lens makes necessary the adapter "sidekick" mounting bracket. Why? Without it, the lens is unbalanced and, rather than a cheap screw-on extender, this allows the primary lens to gain a few elements to become a credible telephoto. It also has the advantage of allowing for the quick removal of the tele and use of the zoom on the primary lens with the adapter in place.



So you have a vision of running along the sidelines capturing every grimace on the quarterback's face as the defense floods over him? Not with this lens. Spring for the $8,000 Canon outfit, get two as you might get sacked yourself, and have an assistant to hand you your equipment. Hiking into the outback to capture the dawn mating of the Kookaburra? There are better choices. (Note to friends of the Kookaburra: I have seen one, and heard one, but have no actual experience with their reproductive practices.) On the other hand, if you occasionally need a bit more reach and can manage a tripod for mounting, then by all means pick one up.



And speaking of "picking one up", this lens can be hand-held and deliver acceptable results (better than using digital zoom or enlarging to get the same magnification), but only for nearly still subjects. For example, a yacht race from the race deck at the club. (My choice) The digital zoom (2x 120mm) at lower mega-pixels was good enough, but not great. A natural 200mm beats a stretched 120mm any day, which is what you get with the digital zoom alternative, but for fast shooting the combo may be too, shall we say "bulky".



Which brings me to my main point: why are we doing this? Photography I mean. If you see a camera a way to capture the visual poetry that your mind sees, then this camera and the combo will work for you, and you'll enjoy the experience. If you see a camera as a cool tool that makes a statement about who you are, well join the gear heads in the photo chat rooms and natter on about max-mega-pixel-mania and spurn the "point-and-shoot" in favor of a bag full of expensive interchangeable lenses. Frankly, some of the best photographs of all time have been captured on the spur of the moment, "point and shoot". With an excellent 24mm-120mm lens mounted on the camera, you'll get the shot 95% of the time. If you need to stretch you view a bit farther from time-to-time, by all means spend the $400 or so on this telephoto combo and look forward to some good photography.
