Sony DT 16-50mm f2.8 SSM Lens

Frame up the perfect shot while composing on the go for less editing later. Get amazing wide-angle to mid-range telephoto shots with beautifully defined colours that make reliving the moment magical. Enjoy fast response and strong depth-of-field thanks to the wide f/2.8 aperture. ED Glass ensures brilliant shots with a wide array of colour or try out Circular Aperture for pleasing defocused effects.

Key Features

  • DT Lens Design - A more compact llens designed specifically for use with APS-C size sensors.
  • ED (Extra-low Dispersion) Glass - To reduce chromatic aberration at telephoto extension, correcting certain wavelengths of light for sharp, clear images with well defined colors.
  • Aspherical Lens Elements - To correct visual aberrations at wide-angle setting, enabling a lightweight lens to capture more visually accurate wide-angle shots.
  • Wide f/2.8 aperture - The SAL1650 features a large f/2.8 aperture for fast response and superb depth-of-field.
  • Circular Aperture - Because aperture blades form a near circle at the wide openings used for low-light shots, spot-light sources have a pleasing circular defocused effect.


What's Included:

  • SAL 16-50mm f/2.8 SAM Standard Zoom Lens
  • Front and rear lens cap
  • SH117 lens hood

All About Sensor Sizes

The sensor size affects many factors in your images and the functions of your camera body. It has a major impact on the quality of your image, how your lens functions, and how it performs in low light conditions.

There are three basic size categories for sensors: Four Thirds, APS, and Full Film Format. As noted in the chart below, the smaller sensors are used in point and shoot cameras while the larger ones are found in DSLR models.

Four Thirds sensors have become a standard for Olympus and Panasonic at a size of 13.5mm by 18mm, while APS sensors are close to that of the original APS film size. Most DSLR cameras fall into the APS size range (14mm by 21mm to 16mm by 24mm), often described as 1.5x, 1.6x, or 2.0x crop factors.

Sensors that are the same size as 35mm film format are also called full-frame sensors. This full frame sensor allows you to use lenses without the complication of focal length magnification factors and produce the highest quality images in DSLR cameras. The sensor size is a true 24mm by 36mm, just like a frame of 35mm film.
