The Sony SEL16F28 is a compact 16mm f/2.8 prime for Sony E-mount mirrorless bodies, giving a 24mm full-frame equivalent view. It is small, light and built with an aluminum alloy barrel, with a motor that keeps autofocus and aperture quiet for video as well as stills. It suits wide landscape, architecture and street shooters who want a pocketable lens. Against zooms covering the same range it is smaller and faster to carry, but reviewers find its corners soft wide open and its edges improve only after stopping down.

The Sony SEL16F28 is a 16mm f/2.8 wide-angle prime lens for Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. It gives a field of view equivalent to 24 mm on a 35mm full frame camera. That range suits landscapes, architecture and snapshots.
The lens is compact and extremely lightweight. Its exterior is made of aluminum alloy. An internal motor drives autofocus and aperture operation smoothly and quietly, which helps when shooting movies as well as stills.
