Weighing in at only 5.6 ounces (160 grams), the Sony 16mm f/2.8 Wide-Angle Lens is one of the lightest and most compact lenses on the market. It's perfect for travel photography, as it's small enough to fit in your pocket or camera bag. And despite its compact size, it still offers a fast maximum aperture of f/2.8, making it ideal for low-light shooting. The one aspherical element reduces various aberrations that can occur, while the fast and silent motor delivers smooth and accurate autofocus in both stills and video modes. Plus, the internal focus design ensures sharp and consistent results. Whether you're a beginner or a pro. This lens is perfect for APS-C format cameras, providing a wide-angle perspective with a 35mm equivalent focal length of 24mm. With its fast f/2.8 maximum aperture, you can shoot in less-than-ideal lighting situations and achieve shallower depth of field effects. The pancake design keeps the lens compact and lightweight, while the silver finish adds a touch of elegance to your camera system.
