Can the shade over the front of the lens be ...

Can the shade over the front of the lens be removed? Or is there one without the shade. I have a shade ring to mount on the lens inside my underwater housing to prevent reflections from the flash. This cannot be applied with the shade on the front of the lens.
Asked by: Robert
The shade is not removable. I'm not aware of a version without the shade.

question

What size UV filter goes with VCL-ECF2?
Asked by: Jay C.
I don't believe you can use a filter with this converter, unless you could figure out how to use a gel filter. It does not have standard threads. With a fisheye, almost anything you attach might show up in the picture.

question

will it work for Sony a6000 with 16mm fixed focal length f2.8?
Asked by: Kavish D.
Yes, I believe it was specifically designed for the Sony 16 2.8 lens. I have had good luck with the converters on an aps-c camera like a6000
