  • Back to TopThose wanting to wring all of the image quality available in an APS-C imaging sensor format camera have found their general-purpose lens, the Sony E 16-55mm F2.8 G.This lens has extreme barrel distortion at the wide end and shows wide aperture...

  • Mostly excellent image quality and performance, High-end, weather-sealed construction, Fast and constant f/2.8 aperture
  • Very heavy barrel distortion at 16mm when uncorrected, No image stabilization, Pretty pricey
  • Sony's APS-C mirrorless range remains very popular with those looking for a sensibly priced mirrorless camera, or a camera that is designed for vlogging. And at last Sony is starting to take the lens range for these users seriously. The constant f/2.8 ape...

  • Compact, pro-grade zoom, Designed for APS-C, Dust and splash protection, Fluorine coating, Quick, quiet autofocus,
  • Relies on profile corrections to remove distortion, Not optically stabilized, Pricey
  • The Sony E 16-55mm F2.8 G is the company's first pro-grade zoom lens for its APS-C mirrorless system. It's been a long time coming, but proves to be worth the wait...

  • The Sony E 16-55mm f2.8 is the unashamedly high-end general-purpose zoom the better Alpha cropped APSC bodies have been crying out for. I really enjoyed shooting with it on the A6600 - like other lenses of a similar specification, it delivers a useful gen...

  • While Sony has been updating its crop sensor mirrorless cameras regularly, the same can't be said for their crop sensor lenses. Photographers shooting with Sony's APS-C cameras have been clamoring for more dedicated crop sensor lenses for seemingly foreve...

  • Ouverture constante lumineuse, Homogénéité du rendu, Bonnes finitions et compacité, Résistance à l'humidité et à la poussière, Autofocus réactif et silencieux
  • Distorsions très marquées au plus grand-angle, Absence de stabilisation, Rendu du bokeh perfectible
  • Il manquait un zoom trans-standard haut de gamme aux boîtiers APS-C en monture E de Sony. Avec ce E 16-55mm F2.8 G Sony propose un petit zoom lumineux de qualité, aux performances solides et avec un bon piqué. On déplore simplement une mauvaise gestion de...

  • Optisch sterk, Fijn lichtsterk
  • Kostbaar
  • Deze Sony E 16-55mm F2.8 G is een fraaie aanvulling op het objectievenportfolio van Sony. Aps-c-fotografen die geven om kwaliteit zullen deze lichtsterke standaardzoom waarderen om zijn kwaliteit en veelzijdigheid, en de logischerwijs forse prijs voor lie...
