Sony E 16-55MM Compact F2.8 APS-C standard zoom G lens SEL1655G review
The Sony 16-55mm f2.8 G is by all means a good lens. Photographers who really like the Sony APS-C cameras will really like it. You can shoot so many things with it but where it will really shine is with events. You’ll almost never want to carry another lens with you.

Pros:
- Mostly excellent image quality and performance
- High-end
- weather-sealed construction
- Fast and constant f/2.8 aperture
Cons:
- Heavy barrel distortion at 16mm if uncorrected
- No image stabilization
- Pretty pricey
