The 16mm f/2.8 Wide Angle lens provides NEX series cameras with a wide coverage (equivalent to a 24mm lens) ideal for any situation, from capturing sweeping landscapes to shooting in cramped settings.

The large f/2.8 maximum aperture is well suited for handheld shooting in low light, and creates pleasing defocused circular effect to minimize backround distractions. The lens barrel is made from a highquality aluminum alloy, and attaches with a metal lens mount for maximum durability. The easy to grip focus ring provides a smooth feel during manual focusing, plus the Direct Manual Focus (DMF) feature allows manual adjustment even after the AF locks on without the need for switching. The internal stepping motor and rear-focusing design provides a smooth, quiet operation which is essential for video capture.
