This lens offers versatility with its wide-to-portrait zoom range, ideal for APS-C Sony E-mount cameras. The constant f/2.8 aperture enhances depth of field control and performs well in low light. Advanced optics ensure sharpness and colour precision, while the Nano AR Coating reduces reflections for better contrast. Quick and quiet autofocus, along with a durable, weather-resistant build, makes it reliable in challenging conditions. The lens also provides smooth bokeh and easy maintenance due to its fluorine coating.
Positioned as the workhorse lens for APS-C, the Sony E 16-55mm f/2.8 G is a flexible wide-angle to portrait-length zoom featuring a bright constant f/2.8 maximum aperture. This fast design suits working in a variety of lighting conditions throughout the zoom range and also affords greater control over depth of field. Further distinguishing itself, this lens sports four aspherical elements and three extra-low dispersion elements in order to control spherical and chromatic aberrations for greater sharpness and clarity. A Nano AR Coating has also been applied to further reduce surface reflections and flare for improved contrast when working in bright and backlit conditions. Benefitting the optics, this lens also sports an XD Linear Motor system that is quick and quiet, and also lends more responsive control for manual focus operation. The lens also has a dust- and moisture-sealed design, along with a fluorine coating, to support shooting in inclement conditions.
Wide-to-portrait-length 16-55mm zoom is designed for APS-C-format Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras and provides a 24-82.5mm equivalent focal length range.
Bright f/2.8 constant maximum aperture enables greater control over depth of field and also suits working in difficult lighting conditions.
An XD Linear Motor system provides quick, quiet, and precise autofocus performance and also contributes to more natural, intuitive manual focus control. An AF/MF switch is located on the lens barrel for tactile control over this setting.
Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality when employing selective focus techniques.
