About this product

Product Information

The Sony SEL 16F28 is a versatile and portable lens that works for shooting either still photography or video. The bright lens fits the Sony's NEX-series cameras and has a 16-millimeter focal length as well as an f/2.8 maximum aperture. It is also the equivalent of a 35-millimeter wide-angle lens, providing an impressive 83-degree field of view, which means solid low-light performance and a very quiet auto-focus operation. For more experienced photographers, this Sony wide-angle lens also offers manual focus so you can fine-tune the shot to your exact specifications. The lens comes with a specialized circular aperture, which offers a smoother and more natural look.

    Light and compact

    In a word, this lens is light. And for the money a keeper. It is the perfect mate for the "a" bodies. As a pancake lens it can be less than sharp at the edges but you have to balance the cost and convenience of use with the wide angle of the focal length. Perfectly happy with the lens.

    Sony 16mm 2.8

    Great lens! Personally, so far after a really short review period, it’s sharper than my 16-50 kit lens which is what I wanted. It’s lighter and less moving parts which makes it easier to carry. And I never used it as a zoom always kept the lens at 16 which is why I decided to buy this lens. Wide open at 2.8 and in low light is does respectively well and didn’t have any issues with focus which surprises me. Probably should read the sellers description a lot closer. Lens hood had a weird substance on it. The lens is all beat up. Thankfully the glass is just dusty and no scratches. Didn’t come with the uv filter as pictured. I ultimately got this at a good price and it works so I’m gonna keep it. But won’t ever buy from this seller probably

  • BETTER ALTERNATIVES

    About half as long as the standard 16-50 mm kit lens and only about 1 f-stop faster, there isn't much good about this lens considering its poor performance, which is why it was discontinued. To make your camera "pocketable", I recommend the current 20 mm version which is the same size as the 16 but is a considerable improvement over the kit lens. Every review I could find says the same thing. And you can add the .75X wide adapter to get a 15 mm view with about the same overall size as the kit lens but 1 stop faster and vastly improved quality.

    Close up focus is ok for the most part. Fails to auto focus when used for landscapes. Focus ring is very stiff and does not turn smoothly which causes manual focus to not fully function. Visually nothing wrong with the lens body or lens elements.

  • Good value robust wide angle E-mount lens.

    Cheaper and shorter than the other kit zoom lens for Sony. Good but not nearly as sharp (at the corners) as I expected compared (subjectively and unscientifically) with, for example Olympus 17mm 2.8 (u4/3 mount) given the 24Mpixel camere it fits on (a6000 etc). It's wide angle is the most useful feature for general photography, especially indoors. Built of metal, good robust design since it survived all the cuts and scratches on its outer aluminum rim by a previous owner (I bought it used for 110C$) .

  • Would be perfect if only image quality was better.

    I love this lens for its small size, its focal length and good build quality. I just wish the image quality was better. Still I do use it.

  • Flawed but awesome

    Although this lens has a poor reputation for edge sharpness and chromatic aberration it is still a great addition to any APS-C Sony kit since the centre is quite sharp and the lens basically weighs nothing. An ideal street/travel companion.

  • Light and cheap - fairly good image quality

    This is a very lightweight and very inexpensive lens which will hold me over until I can afford a better lens. It is reasonably sharp but only reasonably so. It functions exactly as I expected fairly sharp in the center and pretty soft at the edges.

  • Portability without loss of quality

    Great pancake lens. I’m able to fit my a6000 camera with the lens attached into my pocket. When I pull it out to take a photo, the quality is similar to what you’d expect from a much larger and more expensive lens. Yet another Sony photography product that exceeds my expectation. There’s a reason that I ONLY use Sony cameras and lenses.I
