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

Sony E-Mount SEL16F28 16mm f/2.8 Wide-Angle Alpha E-Mount Lens (New Non Retail Packaging)
The photos with this lens are great! With an aperture of 2.8 you can get a nice blurry background. It lets in a lot of light. Sharp, crisp images from this lens! With the NEX5 N, and this lens, it can fit in your pocket!

Good buy for a Sony NEX series camera
Changes the look of the Sony NEX such that most people think it is a much cheaper camera so are astonished by the quality of the photos. A lot easier to carry around as the lens is so compact.
Pros:
- Easily Interchangeable
- Lightweight
- Quick Focus
- Strong Construction

Underrated.
This lens come in handy whenever I dont feel like dragging along a huge backpack full of heavy equipment. There's a lot of bad reviews about this lens, but I think those reviewers are forgeting that this is a $250 lens that is small, compact and elegant looking.
Pros:
- Easy To Use
- Lightweight
- Quality Construction
Cons:
- It's Silver
- Notthe Sharpest Out There

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...
