Sony E 16-55mm f/2.8 G

A fantastic lens for any occasion

This versatile 16-55mm zoom is an excellent companion for APS-C sensor Sony mirrorless cameras. You can use it to capture beautiful portraits — indoors or out — in practically any light, and it's a brilliant choice for close-up detail shots as well as wide-angle landscapes and group shots.

Great photos indoors or out

While this lens's generous f/2.8 maximum aperture makes it well-suited for indoor shooting, particularly in cramped quarters, its rugged construction lends itself nicely to outdoor photography in just about any conditions. If you're out shooting on the beach and the wind starts kicking up sand, you won't have to worry — the dust- and moisture-resistant design means you can keep shooting even when the weather gets dicey.

All roads lead to sharpness and clarity

A constant f/2.8 maximum aperture throughout the zoom range ensures your images will be consistently well-exposed by allowing you to change focal lengths without having to adjust your exposure settings once you've gotten them dialed in. Sony's Nano AR coating minimizes lens flare and ghosting and improves contrast and clarity. Specialized lens elements combine to give you high-resolution images with accurate color rendering and minimal distortion, while the 11-blade circular aperture gives you natural-looking defocused background highlights, drawing all the attention to your subject.
