16mm 22 Sony E
Why we recommend this

Attaching to a 28mm lens, this converter delivers a full-frame 180-degree fisheye perspective while transmitting EXIF data for seamless metadata recording. Its built-in petal-type hood protects the bulbous front element and the 417g design keeps handheld rigs manageable. This is best for experimental photographers wanting an affordable entry into extreme wide-angle effects without buying a dedicated fisheye prime.
