Which Sony lenses is the Ultra Wide Converter (VCL-ECU2) compatible with?
The VCL-ECU2 is designed specifically for use with the SEL16F28 and SEL20F28 Sony E-mount lenses. It is a dedicated accessory and not intended for use with other lenses.
How much wider does the VCL-ECU2 make my lens?
When mounted on the SEL16F28, it changes the focal length to 12 mm, and on the SEL20F28 it changes to 16 mm. This gives an angle of view of up to 103° with the SEL16F28 on APS-C cameras.
Does the VCL-ECU2 change the maximum aperture of my lens?
No, the maximum aperture remains f/2.8 with both the SEL16F28 and SEL20F28. The converter does not introduce light loss.
How is the VCL-ECU2 attached to the lens?
It uses an easy-to-attach bayonet mechanism with a lock, allowing for a quick, secure fit to the front of the SEL16F28 or SEL20F28.
What is the optical construction of the VCL-ECU2?
The converter has an optical construction of 3 elements in 3 groups, designed to provide bright, clear images with an expanded field of view.
How much does the VCL-ECU2 weigh?
The converter is lightweight at about 125 g (4.4 oz), making it compact and easy to carry in a small kit.
What is the maximum magnification with the VCL-ECU2 attached?
Maximum magnification is 0.059x with the SEL16F28 and 0.086x with the SEL20F28, so close-up reproduction is modest and intended primarily for wide views.
What accessories are included with the VCL-ECU2?
The converter includes a petal-shaped hood to help reduce flare, and many packages also include front and rear caps along with a carry case.
How much does the Sony Ultra Wide Converter (VCL-ECU2) cost?
MSRP is listed as $179.99. Given that, these models can go on sale from time to time, and there are several other opportunities to save on price like through their group discounts for education, healthcare and military/veterans (ID.me & Unidays) along with their free loyalty program that gives up to 5% back in points.
