Compact, lightweight and above all, Rugged.

This is my second DT16-105. The first lasted 8 years. The effective zoom (~24-160 35 mm equivalent) is extremely useful. I only carry the one lens on trips. Durable ? It came tumbling down a shale hill in 2011 (I broke some ribs). In 2015, it hit the ground hard in a fall where I broke my foot. The lens took all the impact. It so badly distorted the frame of the UV filter it was impossible to remove. It was dropped from hip height in 2016. No repairs were ever required, it kept on working. It's my "adventure" camera/lens combo and has been on some pretty rough trips. Desert, sand, salt, rock climbing, tropical rains and hard 4wdriving. Clarity and sharpness ? I also own a Canon 5D and pro lens. It's only the occasional shot where you can say that combo is superior.

Downside, it's not the brightest lens and the biggest problem, they don't make them anymore. After 8 years of abuse, the auto focus drive gear failed (but I still used it in manual !). Perfect size and weight in combination with the mid size Sony Alpha's for adventurous photographers.

Sony SAL-35F14G Alpha Mount Wide Angle Lens

The Sony SAL-35F14G Alpha Mount Wide Angle lens gives a closer focal point for the ILCA-99Mii 42Mp alpha camera with its 4K movie function and iA intellegent autofocus returns to the age of point and shoot cameras. A roll around focus is possible with this lens' depth of focus as sensors can be set for different parts of the field of view. Bordering on a medium format picture resolution, the camera and lens combo is competitive with Mamiya, Phase One, Hasselblad & studio setups.Read full review
