Questions & Answers
I have a 5100 camera body and was wondering which lens yield the best results at 16mm: The 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 Retractable Zoom Lens OR this one? Besides the low light capabilities what other advantages, if any, does the 16mm f/2.8 have over the 16-50mm?
Answered by SonyListensHi DGalv! The Sony 16mm prime lens is a lot better than the 16-50mm zoom lens in terms of image quality, sharpness, speed, & low light capability. -Anthony
Would this be a good lens to use for shooting indoors. Pictures of living rooms, kitchens, people at kitchen table, and other group type shots? Thank You, John
Answered by SonyListensHi JohnK, this is an ideal lens, whether shooting cramped indoor interiors, majestic scenery, detail photography, and group shots. Dave
what is the big difference with the wide angle Sony E 10-18mm f/4 ED OSS SEL1018 to this Sony 16.or Sony18 mm fixed lens besides the zoom feature? I can buy each of them and still have money left to purchase another lens
Answered by SonyListensHi! A prime or fixed lens is always sharper and has better overall image quality than a zoom lens. -Anthony
Is this lens compatible for the Sony a7ii?
Answered by SonyListensHi Bhk, Sony's commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. The lens is compatible with the camera. Please note: The angle of view will be narrower down to that of APS-C size. The "Focal plane phase detection AF" function does not work. Thank you so much for your question. And thank you for choosing Sony. - Pakorn (Sony Social Support)
