Very Poor Quality

This 16mm was the first lens I purchased together with my NEX-5 about 14 months ago and was always a disappointment, a great focal length that fails to deliver on sharpness. The optimum aperture for sharpness turns out to be 6.3 or 7.1 and is still not great, which is a shame because Sony has...

Just not sharp enough

I bought to use on a Sony a6500 along with a Sony E 35mm F/1.8 Oss lens. This lens is way too soft in the images and video. Compared to the 35mm, it's not even close. The 35mm is razor sharp for pictures & video with very quick focus. The 16mm will most likely be my first B&H return.

Quite compact and great price

Got this lens to use on a gimbal. It's smaller than the kit lens with a wider aperture.

this a great deal but image quality is average at best

Decent lens for the price. Together with the ultra-wide and fisheye converters, this a great deal but image quality is average at best. Videographers can get away with the quality although there's no hybrid AF (contrast+phase detection) support so AF is a little slow (at least it's smooth).

Sony E 16mm f/2.8 (SEL-16F28) - Review / Re-Test

The AF performance is pretty good for a contrast detection system (albeit highly dependent on the base camera). AF operations are basically noiseless. Manual focusing works "by wire" so the focus ring is not directly coupled to the focus gears but to the AF motor.

Avoid if you can.

I have had the lens for about 3 years. When I first got it, the lens was okay. Not perfect by any means but it was small and a bit faster than the kit lens at 16mm. Trouble is the lens started to die a few months after the warranty expired.

Sony E16mm f2.8 SEL 16F28

Sony's so-called mirrorless cameras, the NEX-3 and -5, are impressively compact especially considering they house an APS-C size sensor and flip-up rear LCD panels. But like any camera system, compatibility with a wide range of good-quality lenses is crucial.

Sony E 16mm f/2.8 (NEX) Lens - Brand New review

Slightly better cameras but otherwise, not much of an update - buy the iPhone 14 Pro or switch to Android instead

Better low-light photography, Slightly longer battery life, Action mode gives super stabilised video

The same performance as the iPhone 13, No Dynamic Island or Always-On display, 60Hz screen

Sony E 16mm f/2.8 (NEX) Lens - Brand New review

The iPhone 14 comes to market with the same launch price as the previous generation. At the same time, iPhone connoisseurs were more than disillusioned after the presentation of the new smartphone. Apple leaves large parts of the hardware unchanged and does not dare to change the design.

Top performance level despite last year's chip, Very high quality workmanship, Improved image and video quality, Excellent battery life

Hardly any innovations, Charging takes too long for 2022

Sony E 16mm f/2.8 (NEX) Lens - Brand New review

A slight camera upgrade, new emergency features, and... not a whole lot else

Better selfie camera, Good battery life, Crash detection and satellite SOS are neat

It’s more like an iPhone 13S, Display is still 60Hz, eSIM transition will be easy for most but painful for some
