||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don’t like when you zoom out the lens actually gets longer. I also don’t like that the only way to change the fstop is with the lens

Posted .Hi JosearmandoB, Sony's commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. The lens F stop can be changed on the lens or by using the camera control. To change via camera control, you will need to set the aperture ring to the letter "A" on the lens. We would like to thank you for you honest feedback regarding the zoom length when changed as it will help us to keep improving future products. Thank you for choosing Sony. -Linda 12-2-25 Sony Social Support
sharp, fast, and lightweight!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony FE 16-25 mm F2.8 G is a full frame lens designed for Sony's E-mount camera bodies. As typical for Sony native lenses, this one is reasonably well weather-sealed. There is a dedicated aperture ring which you can select either click/ratchet rotation or smooth rotation. AF/MF switch which is located below the customizable button on the left, so it falls naturally where your thumb would rest (for a right handed grip). The hood clicks into place and doesn't jiggle. The biggest factor you'll notice is the (lack of) weight. Wide-angle with a minimum 16 mm focusing distance makes this a nice one lens option for a variety of uses. The lens also performs well in low light, so the 16-25mm range makes this a great option for Vloggers or creators filming in darker conditions, i.e. gaming streamers. Autofocus capability is superb, which is also par for the course for Sony. This lens is an ideal setup with the a7C series, as the small form factor and light weight don't completely offset the advantages of the new compact full frame bodies. Image quality is excellent, very sharp, but at the two extremes, there was some slight blurring in the corners. Overall thoughts: lightweight, sharp, quick autofocus that won't make you feel like you're missing out on the legendary Sony AF. Not a G series, but compares pretty well given the cost savings over the master series lenses. Excellent versatility for video or photos.
