On the Full-Frame a7 - anyone use this with the 16mm NEX pancake?

Works great with Pancake. Slight distortion (fish eye effect) around the edges on up close shots but great on everything else.

I am using mine with an Alpha A 65 and it works well. I believe it works with the Nex 6 as well.

I just got an email stating between Nov 1 and December 1. Wow... should I wait for the pancake lens? It's $50 more than the 14mm-45mm...

I do not own Tokina 16-28mm f/2.8 but have used this panoramic panhead with Nikon's 17-35mm f/2.8, 35mm f/1.8, and 24-70mm f/2.8 lens without problems.

It will fit, but I would recommend against doing it. The lens is designed for the APS-C (cropped) format sensor used in the earlier NEX models. The A7 has a full frame sensor that is 1.5 times larger than the NEX models' sensor. Although you can mount the lens on the A7, you can expect darkening around the edges of the resulting photos because the image circle produced by the lens is not large enough to completely cover the image sensor in the A7. You'd be better off using the new Zeiss lenses designed for the A7.

I use a Nex 7 so am answering with no hands on trial. This lens should be able to work on a A7 with full autofocus and exposure, but it may be better to check with Zeiss directly. Image size will be 18 mm if you use the A7 as an APS mode. Can be 12 mm but will get vignetting. Check DP Review. Probably will get real world experiences if you post your question there. May already have been asked and in their archives. Hope this helps.

I like 35mm full frame equivalent for my all round lens. This makes the Zeiss Sony 24mm the best lens on the a6000 since it's an aps-c camera. This is an exceptional lens and was the choice on the Nex-7.

Gary, it's a full frame lens but to use on A7 you need an adaptor (la-ea4).

I don't think it's good for a full frame camera. I used to use it on my 60D but now on my 5D it is very vignetted. Interested to hear what sawing the removable hood would look like, not sure if it'd fix the problem though.

I know that it is for a dx instead of full frame and you may get some vignetting but that is not always true. I would google 11-16 full frame vignetting to see what others have experienced. luke

I believe the a7 uses a Minolta mount this is an nex mount which is different

Probably not in general. It has a lot of barrel distortion and brightness falloff toward the edges. This could all be corrected in post-processing, but that's laborious. This lens's top priority is pocketability, and that should be the top reason for buying it. If you want top-quality images, stick with the non-pancake models. I returned mine after buying it.

I'm not sure with the NEX7, Mrs, Smith. I can only suggest researching more or contacting SAFE SYNChotline. Sorry!

It's a really great lens for the price and works well with the 7D and other crop sensor canon bodies. You can even put it on a Full Frame body at 16mm and it should vignette too much. The one I have is tack sharp and does do video quite well. At 11mm though it tends to distort the people on the very edges of the frame. Hope this helps.

Definately yes. I have a Nex 7. Great colors. Vibrant. Very sharp center. Corners sharp by F4. Much much better then the SEL 16 with VCLU. I'm very happy with this lens. Field of view just right for my kind of area.

Dennis, I have the NEX 6, and I first tried the adaptor without the translucent mirror, which had only intermittent autofocusing. By exchanging it for the LAE2 version, I experienced rapid autofocusing with my Sony A-mount lenses, particularly the 28-250 zoom. Yes, it does add some bulk to the NEX, but having the option to use several A-mount lenses with the nex 6 makes it a worthwhile purchase, in my estimation.I have a 35mm a-mount which is extremely fast-focusing, so your intended 90mm would work well. Bear in mind that the NEX has the focus peaking feature for those times when autofocus is impractical, but I like my fast focusing option with the adaptor attached.

No it won't fit! In fact it did not fit the NEX7 very well! Not a solid fit the Camera would move !!!
