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...

Sony E 16mm f/2.8 (NEX) Lens Review
Sony E 16mm f/2.8 was one of the three lenses that Sony officially announced with the release of its new NEX system. Along with Sony E 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6, it was also offered as one of the kit lens options for the original Sony NEX-3, NEX-5 and later NEX-C3 and NEX-5n.

At the price I had to pay in bundle with NEX-5 it is a bargain. However Panasonic shows that it could be made way better with it's Lumix G F1,7/ 20 mm
Pros:
- produces a slight amount of pincushion distortion (~0.6%) which is usually not objectionable in field conditions
- At f/8 it is working very good all over the image field
Cons:
- the corner performance is rather poor especially at f/2.8 and f/4
- The fairly heavy amount of lateral CAs isn't helpful

Sony E 16mm f/2.8 SEL16F28
I bought this lens for wide angle indoor an architectural shots and also as a platform for fisheye and ultra wide convertors from sony. The image quality is just fine. Considering the price its better than that. The colors are crisp and clean, with good contrast.
Pros:
- Very very light weight
- good image quality for the price
- fast accurat focus and makes your nex camera truly pocketable
Cons:
- Corner sharpness

Sony E 16mm f/2.8 SEL16F28 review by Perry Rhodan
Really not bad at all. The 5N does very nice with this one, even with the WA attached. The NEX 6 does even better. Not the best for brick/walls or any other flat surfaces. But this cheap pancake records scenery much better than expected. Using the WA or FE adapters adds great use to the kit.
Pros:
- Compact
- light
- at F8 very sharp
- price with WA is 200
Cons:
- not very sharp corners wide open

A light weight wide lens to suit the NEX cameras
This light weight short focal length lens is a must for the NEX-5 camera and the ultra wide adapter lens VCL-ECU1 as well as the Fish eye converter VCL-ECF1 makes this combination a "must have" to complement the other NEX lenses.
Pros:
- Easy to use
- Compact
- Build quality

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.

Very Poor Quality
This 16mm was the first lens I purchased together with my NEX-5 about 14 months ago and was always a disappointment, a great focal length that fails to deliver on sharpness. The optimum aperture for sharpness turns out to be 6.3 or 7.1 and is still not great, which is a shame because Sony has...
