Sony 16-105mm f/3.5-5.6 DT ( SAL-16105 ) - Review / Test Report
The build quality is fairly similar to the Zeiss ZA 16-80mm f/3.5-4.5 DT (shown to the right in the product image gallery below) - it's decent but nothing to rave about either. The outer shell is made of good quality plastics. The broad, rubberized zoom ring operates smooth but also a little stiff.

Sony DT 16-105mm f/3.5-5.6 Review
Not many standard zooms extend to focal lengths in excess of 100mm, and the fact that this lens manages such a feat in a package that is no larger than Sony's companion 16-80mm ZA makes it worthy of serious attention.
Pros:
- Good short-end resolution from f/5.6
Cons:
- Poor resolution at longer focal lengths after f/11

Sony's DT 16-105mm f/4.5-5.6 is a general 'walk about' lens that costs around ￡480 and covers popular focal lengths equivalent to a 24-157.4mm lens on a full-frame camera.

- Price

A few years ago a couple of Sony's engineers from their Japan camera division came and spent the day at our test lab to see how we test cameras and lenses.

A WOW Lens for the price
Overall this lens is my favorite next to the 50mm f/1.4, I take this lens on all my shoots and have used in in most all weather conditions as well as indoor without flash. I find the versatility of this lens remarkable and really the best in class for the price.
