Its 12mm focal length offers some unique photographs for your a6300 as well as the ability to capture fisheye style photographs.

The Sony Carl Zeiss Sonnar T E 24mm F1.8

Although it is a more versatile lens that can be used as a fisheye lens for Sony a6300 cameras, the Sony Carl Zeiss Sonnar T E 24mm F1.8 (Click here to check for product prices and availability). If you are specifically looking to pick up a lens specifically for fisheye photography then we would actually recommend the Rokinon 12mm F2.8 covered above over this Sony 24mm F1.8 as it will provide much better fisheye performance. On the flipside though, if you are looking for a decent wide-angle lens that also offers some fisheye performance then this could be the lens for you.

Again, this is another prime lens but this time it is based around the 24mm focal length that as we touched on earlier, is more of a regular wide-angle focal length than a specific fisheye photography length. It comes with the Sony E-mount lens so it will seamlessly attach to your Sony a6300’s lens mount. Coming from Sony the lens offers the outstanding build quality the community has came to expect as well as a decent amount of both performance and functionality.

If you are considering this lens and are wanting to use it for some fisheye style photography then we would recommend you watch the video below. It offers a great overview of how best you are able to capture fisheye photographs with excellent image quality with minimal effort.

The F1.8 aperture on the lens really does offer some great low light performance for the lens allowing you to stay out later in varied light conditions to continue capturing as you wish without interruption.

As we have mentioned throughout this section of the article, the Sony Carl Zeiss Sonnar T E 24mm F1.8 is a solid lens but it is primarily a wide angle lens that can offer some fisheye performance when required. If you are wanting a dedicated fisheye lens for your Sony a6300 then the Rokinon 12mm F2.8 covered above will be better and we would recommend that you add that lens to your camera accessories over the Sony lens.
