I do agree with Steve Dent from Engadget when he says the A6400 and A6600 are somewhat underwhelming considering the competition. And I also agree when he says that the A6100 is an exception: At this price point it’s the best camera to get mainly because it’s terrific autofocus performance:
The new TTArtisans 11mm f/2.8 FE fisheye lens got tested by Marc on SonyAlphaBlog:
The TTArtisans 11mm F2.8 Fisheye (300 euros) is a Compact stereographic fisheye with very good sharpness on the entire frame when used outdoor at F5.6 , and even excellent at F2.8 in the centre for close subject
Its closest competitor the Samyang 12mm F2.8 ED AS NCS Fisheye (450 euros) offers a slightly wider field of view (even if given at 12mm, it is wider) , a better sharpness in the corners at F2.8 but a more nervous background blur , it is much more bulky and the build quality is lower (all plastic)
Pros
Excellent sharpness in close up
Very good sharpness on the entire frame at F5.6 and very good in the centre at F2.8
As the accompanying photographs clearly illustrate, the close-focusing ability of these wide-angle lenses greatly expands the creative possibilities of whatever your subject matter may be. Both display a bit of vignetting at wide aperture, which diminishes as you stop the lens down toward f/8. And while these f/2.8 lenses may not be speed queens, they are sharp—very sharp. Autofocusing was fast and accurate, though in my opinion, a bit noisy for video applications. This might prove to be a deal breaker for potential video-oriented consumers.
