Sony E16mm f2.8 SEL 16F28
Sony's so-called mirrorless cameras, the NEX-3 and -5, are impressively compact especially considering they house an APS-C size sensor and flip-up rear LCD panels. But like any camera system, compatibility with a wide range of good-quality lenses is crucial.

Sony E 16mm f/2.8 SEL16F28
The size of the lens make a NEX camera system almost pocketable. If you like the idea of a wide prime for your NEX camera, right now there's simply nothing else available. It's an interesting little lens, but its price point and its performance are perhaps limiting it to strictly consumer...

small light and great for panorama's
Fit and finish are very good. The lens appears to be clad in metal, and has a metal mount, but is extremely light-weight and almost seems like it could be a mock-up, with no glass or internals. At first I was hesitant because of some reviews that i had read online about its poor IQ overall.

Sony isn't the first manufacturer to talk about making a large-sensor mirrorless camera for compact users but it is the first to actually follow the thinking through with a system designed from ground up for the 'point and shoot' crowd.
Pros:
- Small
- innovative designs that are still comfortable to hold
- High resolution sensor with excellent High ISO performance (in PASM modes
- Good JPEG output quality
- Great build quality (particularly NEX-5
- Metal barrelled lenses feel impressive compared to peers
- Tiltable high-resolution screen,
Cons:
- High ISO capability (a major advantage of its large sensor) unavailable in iAuto mode
- Constant overexposure of images wastes highlight capabilities (and no exposure compensation to correct it in iAuto mode
- Consumes battery quickly if you use the screen a lot between shots
- Poor shot-to-shot times

Sony E 16mm f/2.8 (SEL-16F28) - Review / Re-Test
The AF performance is pretty good for a contrast detection system (albeit highly dependent on the base camera). AF operations are basically noiseless. Manual focusing works "by wire" so the focus ring is not directly coupled to the focus gears but to the AF motor.

Fast lens great for photos and video
I always buy from Best Buy, but had to buy this one elsewhere since Best Buy hadn't started carrying it yet. I have had it for about a 1½ months now and am very happy with the performance. This is the perfect lens if you buy the Sony NEX for its size.
Pros:
- Great lens for video
- good for low light shots
- good price
Cons:
- 49mm filters that Best Buy doesn't carry
