Sony - 16mm f/2.8 E-Mount Wide-Angle Lens - Silver

I ordered this lens to pair with my a6000 for street shooting, and it serves that purpose very well. It's incredibly small and discrete which is a huge advantage on the streets if you don't want to stand out. It's also pretty amazing that the whole camera can fit in my pocket with this lens, which allows me to bring it with me pretty much everywhere. As other reviews have mentioned, this is a very soft lens almost all across the frame, with the very center being okay and the corners being horrible at any given f stop. BUT this lens does produce some very nice colors and contrast, which was the only reason I gave the image quality an “fair” score instead of “poor”. I really think Sony dropped the ball a little bit with this lens... for street photography I can live with the softness, but I would never use this lens for my landscape work. It's really a shame, because 16mm is such a useful focal range on apsc and this tiny lens would be legendary if the sharpness even reached a mediocre level. The AF isn't great either. But even with its many cons, I love this lens. It's a blast to shoot with and its size allows you to bring it almost anywhere — which is why I bought it.

I bought used in good condition.All sony lenses have medium quality, not high end.I have a selp 18105G and i'm not satisfied with the sharpness...
