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.
