The Sony 16-50mm f/2.8 Standard Zoom Lens is a compact DT lens that fits APS-C sensor cameras with the Sony A-mount. In addition to the wide-angle to mid-range telephoto zoom, the lens features a large 2.8 aperture. Extra-low dispersion glass works to reduce ghosting, flare, and chromatic aberration, while asperhical lens elements also correct aberrations at wide-angles.

DT Lens Design

A more compact lens designed specifically for use with APS-C size sensors

Wide f/2.8 Aperture

The SAL1650 features a large f/2.8 aperture for fast response and superb depth-of-field

Asperhical Lens Elements

To correct visual aberrations at wide-angle setting, enabling a lightweight lens to capture more visually accurate wide-angle shots

ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) Glass

To reduce chromatic aberration at telephoto extension, correcting certain wavelengths of light for sharp, clear images with well defined colors

Circular Aperture

Because aperture blades form a near circle at the wide openings used for low-light shots, spot-light sources have a pleasing circular defocused effect
