Q: What kind of pictures would this lens be great for taking?

A: This lens for its wide angle is perfect for taking panoramic photos. You can also use it for indoors photos where in a small space captures a big scene.

Q: Will it compatible with Sony Alpha 7 iii ?

A: No, this is a crop sensor lens, while it technically works, you'll see a black vignette on the outside due to the difference in size between the sensors.

Q: Would this be a good lens to use for shooting indoors. Pictures of living rooms, kitchens, people at kitchen table, and other group type shots? Thank You, John

A: Hi JohnK, this is an ideal lens, whether shooting cramped indoor interiors, majestic scenery, detail photography, and group​ shots. Dave

Q: WILL THIS FIT ON MODEL NUMBER 1243508

A: This fits the following models: Sony NEX-7, Sony a3000, Sony a5000, Sony NEX-F3, Sony a5100, Sony a6000, Sony NEX-6, Sony NEX-5T/5R/5N, Sony NEX-3N.

Q: Is the 16mm good for indoor action shots and video, specifically ice hockey?

A: I would say it depends where you are shooting from. Personally, I would go with a bit of a larger mm and maybe a zoom option.

Q: This might be a silly one. Recently got a 55-210mm F4.5-6.3 lens for my a6000. Wouln't mine do the same what this wide lens does? I need a good lense for a lanscape pictures for my upcoming trip. Thanks

A: No such thing as silly if you’re learning! Your lens is a zoom, so if you would like to get close to a sunset or tree in the distance, it would be perfect. This lens is lower in mm (16 vs 55) so the lens is going to be more curved. You’ll be able to get a wider shot, but no zoom.

    Great pancake lens for Sony Alpha 5/6 series.

    Good pancake lens for Sony ASP-C. Small and compact on a Sony alpha 5 series camera body. Could fit in your pocket with lens on. Decently wide aperture for slight bokeh effect on portraits. Decent in low light. Wide angle shots. Good for street, landscape, real estate and venue photography.
