The details

At a glance: Sony E 16mm f/2.8 - compact pancake wide prime for Sony E-mount APS-C, 24mm-equivalent.

About this lens

The Sony E 16mm f/2.8 is one of the original Sony E-mount APS-C primes - a compact pancake-style wide-angle prime for Sony's NEX and Alpha APS-C mirrorless cameras. At 16mm on APS-C it gives a 24mm full-frame equivalent - classic wide-angle for landscape, architecture and street photography.

Build & handling

Sensor coverage APS-C
Autofocus In-lens motor
Image stabilisation No
Minimum focus distance 0.24m
Filter thread 49mm
Weight 70g
Construction Pancake design, aspherical element, accepts Sony VCL-ECU1 ultra-wide and VCL-ECF1 fisheye converters

Works with

  • Sony E-mount APS-C mirrorless (A6x00 series, ZV-E10, NEX series)
  • Not designed for Sony FE full-frame (APS-C crop mode only)

Best for

A small, light pancake-style prime from Sony's original NEX lineup. At 70g it's barely noticeable on a camera body - useful for a truly compact travel/street setup. Optical performance is adequate rather than outstanding. Of interest: accepts screw-on conversion lenses (ultra-wide and fisheye) for extended creative options.

Frequently asked questions

Will it work on a Sony full-frame A7?

Yes but in APS-C crop mode - the lens doesn't cover the full-frame sensor, so you'd lose resolution.

Does this lens have image stabilisation?

No — this lens does not have image stabilisation.

  • A proper little treasure trove

    3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
