Does the wide-angle lens form a black circle around the photo? (Like the fisheye lens does)

Yes, there is some vignetting as there is with many fish-eye or wide angle lenses. I think that it is the nature of things rather than a flaw.

!Careful! with this adapter you lose autofocus, stabilisation, and aperture control! Apart from that, it will not create a black circle.

No. You just screw it onto the lens which makes it darker. Also when you zoom out you see black edges, a round black circle, on all your photos. I never use them. Also my tripod is already broken.

This is an adaptor that screws on the end of a standard lens. I have this adaptor mounted on a Canon 18-55 "kit lens". I used the step up rings included to screw it into the 58mm filter threads. At 18mm it produces the traditional "fish eye" effect with a round circle. As the lens is zoomed the effect lessens. After about 28mm there is little effect.

As others have said, the answer is yes. While you do loose the wide angle effect, you are gaining the "fish eye". I've had a lot of fun with the fish eye lens. and would recommend it.

HI, due to the angle of the lens if you don't use a thin filter it will vignette around the edges.

It does fit but you just have to move around the lens so the black circle would be seen.

No. This one contains the black border. The further you zoom out the bigger the border gets. You should search for a full framed fisheye.

No, the wide angle view is fine with the standard lense. Yes, it has a remote that works great.

There won't be a black circle if you're using it with the APS-C sensor range like the NEX-6/7. As others have mentioned, you will lose AF, IS, and aperture control when paired with this adapter. So do be aware. I use this with my 135/2L which doesn't have IS anyway, and I like to shoot my 135L wide open. So it works well for me and my needs. You'll have to assess if those limitations suit you.

No, not really, however if you have any plans to buy the wide angle attachment ring, or the fish eye attachment ring, you must have the 16mm lens. They are made to compliment those add on lenses. If you need a lens to work a very small room, (or think booth), you will need that lens. The 16mm mounts with the regular "E" mount, while the wide angles fit on a special lip that only the 16 comes equiped with. Good shooting.

The one I received has an oval opening that leaves the camera lens and the light sensor clear. Looking at the picture here it looks like it might be showing in the lower right corner of the black image on the left.

The short answer is no it won't have a black circle. However, are you using this on an A7(n)? If so, I'm not sure if there will be any vignetting from the adapter itself (your full frame lens will not be an issue). But it is important to note that you super nice lens will become manual focus, no IS, and stuck at a wide open f/2.8... This is all fine if you just want to play once in a while, but you'll eventually want to have a lens that can at the very least stop down.

It's not a circular fish eye. The fish eye effect is mild at the 17 end. It is auto focus but like most pentax lenses it's a screw drive auto focus as opposed to having and integrated focus motor which is quieter and faster.

Yep that is the way it performs with my camera also....but that is the way it is suppose to work. I have mine lens set at max to get rid of the circle.

I get it too.... Are you using the adapter for it or did you screw it directly to your camera? I came to the conclusion that using the adapter was the problem. I went to a camera store and tried a fisheye that actually fit my camera without an adapter, took a picture and it didn't have a shadow.

Yes and no. The ring can create a clear ring but it acts more like a light panel than a ring light so it's very small and looks like a normal catch light. It is too small to create what I think you have in mind. It is great if you are planning on taking macro shots of the eye though.
