Sony E 16-55mm f/2.8 G Lens Summary
With its fixed f/2.8 aperture throughout an extremely useful zoom range, the Sony E 16-55mm f/2.8 G Lens is a premium Sony E mount lens for crop sensor A6000-series mirrorless Alpha cameras. When it launched, Sony highlighted its fast XD Linear Motor in the SEL1655G, high-resolution resolving power and lightweight design, which sits perfectly on mirrorless bodies like the a6400 and flagship a6700.
An elaborate optical design with special glass elements captures edge-to-edge sharpness throughout the zoom range, with a zoom range, which is ideal for portraits, landscapes, travel and video content.
Along with the bright f/2.8 aperture comes a 9-bladed aperture design, which renders beautiful bokeh and smooth defocus areas to highlight your subject. Whether capturing delicious food photography, nature or friends and family, you can draw attention to your subject with a shallow depth of field and lovely subject separation.
What’s more, the bright aperture and lightweight design are ideal for handholding while shooting low light subjects, whether natural lit portraits, street photography or close-up wildlife and nature shots.
Image quality is further enhanced by Sony’s antireflective lens coating, plus a front element Fluorine coating, which complements the weather sealing and cements this as an excellent option for indoor and outdoor creators.

Sony E 16-55mm f/2.8 G Lens (SEL1655G) in More Detail
Excellent image quality across the range
Two AA (advanced aspherical) and two aspherical elements suppress aberration for outstanding corner-to-corner G-Series lens resolution, while three ED (extra-low Dispersion) glass elements reduce chromatic aberration and colour bleeding to a minimum.
This helps the 16-55mm f/2.8 G lens to render high image quality throughout its zoom range, from close-up to infinity, and across all apertures, even when shooting wide open.
Sony’s Nano AR Coating also adds resistance to flare and ghosting for crisp contrast, while the 9-blade circular aperture contributes to smooth bokeh and soft out-of-focus areas in the image.
Compact, lightweight and portable
Compact, lightweight, and featuring a bright aperture, this lens boasts an optimised mechanical and optical design that results in a mere 494 gram weight. It's a versatile constant f/2.8 16-55 mm (24-82.5 mm full-frame equivalent) zoom lens, perfect for a variety of shots from portraits to daily captures. Paired with compact E-mount bodies, the zoom lens offers a highly portable and easy-to-manage system suitable for diverse photography needs.
Fast and precise focusing and tracking
Equipped with an advanced XD (eXtreme Dynamic) Linear Motor found in premium G Master lenses, this APS-C model ensures fast, precise autofocus and tracking. It leverages the camera body's speed capabilities to maintain focus on and accurately track even swiftly moving subjects. Additionally, its operation is extremely quiet, making it ideal for videographers who benefit from the consistent f/2.8 aperture without intrusive AF motor noise.
Professional control and reliability
This lens offers professional control and reliability, featuring a customisable focus hold button, an AF/MF mode switch, and Linear Response MF for enhanced control versatility and precision, ensuring shots can be captured even in demanding conditions. The front lens element benefits from a fluorine coating, repelling water and grime, while its construction is dust and moisture-resistant, allowing for confident use in tough outdoor settings.
