The Sony E 16-55mm f/2.8 G is Sony's first constant-aperture f/2.8 standard zoom for APS-C E-mount cameras, covering a 24-82.5mm full-frame equivalent range. It is built for corner-to-corner sharpness wide open, with a 9-blade circular aperture for smooth bokeh and Nano AR coating to cut flare and ghosting. An XD linear motor drives fast, quiet autofocus and reliable tracking. It suits photographers who want one bright, compact zoom for portraits, events and everyday shooting, and it stands apart from slower kit zooms and from the larger full-frame f/2.8 zooms.

Owners and reviewers rate the lens highly for sharpness wide open and fast, quiet autofocus. Many call it the best standard zoom for Sony APS-C bodies. The main complaints are the lack of optical stabilization and the price relative to slower kit zooms.
The Sony E 16-55mm f/2.8 G is a standard zoom lens for E-mount APS-C cameras. It covers 16-55mm, equivalent to 24-82.5mm on a full-frame camera, with a constant f/2.8 aperture. The body is compact.
The optical design delivers corner-to-corner resolution even at the widest aperture. Spherical aberration is controlled, and a 9-blade circular aperture produces smooth background blur. Sony's Nano AR coating resists flare and ghosting for crisp contrast.
An XD linear motor drives autofocus and subject tracking. The lens has a 55-degree angle of view and a minimum aperture of f/22. Focus can be set to auto or manual.
