Premium G Lens optical designThis 16-55mm (24-82.5 mm full-frame equiv.) standard zoom lens weighs in at only 494g. The advanced G lens design includes two Advanced Aspherical and two Aspherical elements to suppress abortion and three ED (Extra-low dispersion) glass elements and Nano AR coating to suppress reflections, flare and ghosting. The 9-blade circular aperture contributes to gorgeous bokeh while the XD (Extreme Dynamic) Linear Motor offers fast, precise, quiet AF and tracking |
F2.8 max apertureThe F2.8 max aperture maintains exposure and depth of field, allowing you to isolate your subject from the foreground and background with amazing light gathering capabilities when shooting wide open. When changing your aperture to defocus the background, the areas out of the focal plane appear blurred. This ‘bokeh’ effect of the blurred background is enhanced with circular aperture blades used in this lens. |
9-blade circular aperture contributes to gorgeous bokehThe 9-blade circular aperture maximizes the beauty of this large-aperture prime-lens, contributing to impressive images in which the subject stands out against a smoothly defocused foreground and background, as well as perfectly round points of defocused light. Conventional aperture blades have flat sides that create unappealing, polygonal-shaped defocused points of light. Alpha lenses overcome this problem through a unique design that keeps the aperture almost perfectly circular from its wide-open setting to when it is closed by 2 stops. Smoother, more natural defocusing can be obtained as a result. |
Features

---|---|---|
Instant auto/manual focus selectionInstantly and quickly switch between auto and manual focus via an AF/MF switch on the side of the lens. This makes operation faster and easier as you let the camera and lens focus for you, or decide to take control and manually focus on the precise point you chose. |
Linear Response MFLinear Response MF realizes precise manual focus control, closely equivalent to mechanical manual focus, which enables linear focus transition to ring rotation angle for repeatable and accurate manual focus that is especially desirable for MF control during video capture. |
Focus hold button, programmable for multiple functionsThe focus hold button not only performs its primary function to lock focus when recomposing, but can be customized to a number of other functions depending on your needs. In addition to Focus Hold, these custom functions include: Eye AF, AF On, Aperture Preview, Shot Result Preview or Bright Monitoring. |

Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2019
So I ordered the Sony 16-55 and have used it now on a few jobs. The 16-55 is much better it matches the image quality and sharpness I am use to and can replace using my Nikon Z lens the 24-70 or 24-120 F4 lens we use.
The 16-55 at 2.8 gives for the most part the same DOF as a Full frame F4 lens but you still get the advantages of it being 2.8 for shooting in Lower light and that is making a big difference we see all ready keeping the ISO lower as it gets darker out shooting into sunset.
I will be keeping the Sigma 18-50 to use as a video use lens its so small and lite for gimbal use. I will be ordering the Tamron 17-70 as well soon as we need a two camera video setup with 2.8 lens so I will test it VS the Sony 16-55 as well. The Sigma louses sharpness on large group photos of people we do all the time like 12 to 30 people the faces dont have as much detail and sharpness but the Sony 16-55 is great for this.
The only downside of the Sony 16-55 is the weight I love how lite the Sigma is on the a6700 but the Sony is almost the same weight as using my Nikon Z6 with 24-70 F4 lens only 6 oz different. But it dose give some extra reach over the 24-70..
But the a6700 focus system is so much better then my Nikons it amazing - shooting is so easy and the face and eye tracking is fantastic I am using it all the time now. With my Nikons it is very bad I would never rely on it so I quit using it and shot all single point and single shot.
I also like the button on the lens of the Sony. I have it set to image preview so I can press it and see the last shot image fast. Much faster than bending my thumb down to press the button.
The lens is not small, and definitely double up the bulk of my a6000, but other than that, a super adequate daily lens!
Is it worth it? It's certainly cheaper to buy separate fixed length focal lenses but that means carrying lots of lenses with you and switching between them. This lens is a great all-in one that produces photos that stand up to some of the best lenses in the market. Personally, the convenience of taking only one lens with me combined with the extremely high image quality justifies the purchase. If you can afford it... treat yourself!

Currently using with a6000. Great investment.
I use this with Sony A6600.
Both the camera and the lens are expensive, but it is probably the best combination if you can only have one lens with you.
With IBIS I get sharp photos at 1/30.
Expensive for sure, but a great lens.
