SONY E 16-55mm f/2.8 G

Sony's first 16-55mm APS-C zoom (24-82.5mm full-size equivalent), with a constant aperture of F2.8, is extraordinarily compact, delivering performance suited to the G Lens series. 

A new optical design provides excellent corner-to-corner resolution, and beautiful bokeh is available when needed. 

It is compact, lightweight, and ideal for a wide variety of subjects.

High resolution throughout the zoom range, even at F2.8
Two AA (Advanced Aspherical) and two Aspherical Elements suppress aberration for excellent corner-to-corner G-Lens resolution, while three ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) glass elements reduce minimal color bleed. Sony's original Nano AR coating adds superior resistance to flare and ghosting for sharp contrast. Precise spherical aberration control and a 9-blade circular aperture contribute to smoothing bokeh.

Compact, lightweight and bright
The optimized mechanical and optical design achieves a weight of just 17.5 ounces (494 grams) in a compact, constant F2.8 lens from 16 to 55 mm (24 to 82.5 mm equivalent in image size). This slim lens is ideal for everything from portraits to everyday snapshots, combining with compact E-mount bodies to form a manageable, highly mobile system for a wide range of photographic applications.

XD Linear Motor for Fast, Accurate AF and Tracking
The same type of advanced XD (extreme dynamic) linear motor that maximizes focusing performance in the G Master series lenses is employed in these APS-C lenses. The XD linear motor fully utilizes the speed potential of the camera body, focusing and tracking even fast-moving subjects with impressive speed and accuracy. Operation is also quiet, allowing videographers to take advantage of the constant F2.8 aperture.

Professional control and reliability
A customizable focus hold button, AF/MF mode switch, and Linear Response MF add versatility and control precision that can help take the shot even in difficult and variable conditions. The front lens element is fluorine-coated to repel water and dirt, and the lens is dust and moisture ^{resistant 3,}  so it can be used with confidence in challenging outdoor environments.
