Q: Is the 16mm good for indoor action shots and video, specifically ice hockey?
A: I would say it depends where you are shooting from. Personally, I would go with a bit of a larger mm and maybe a zoom option.
A: Hi! A prime or fixed lens is always sharper and has better overall image quality than a zoom lens. -Anthony
A: No such thing as silly if you’re learning! Your lens is a zoom, so if you would like to get close to a sunset or tree in the distance, it would be perfect. This lens is lower in mm (16 vs 55) so the lens is going to be more curved. You’ll be able to get a wider shot, but no zoom.

Good pancake lens for Sony ASP-C. Small and compact on a Sony alpha 5 series camera body. Could fit in your pocket with lens on. Decently wide aperture for slight bokeh effect on portraits. Decent in low light. Wide angle shots. Good for street, landscape, real estate and venue photography.

I love my wide angel lens! I've been wanting one since I first started shooting in the '70's, and finally treated myself to this lovely companion to my new Sony A7!
