Sony E 16-55mm f/2.8 G - Sony E-mount

The Sony E 16-55mm f/2.8 G is a professional-grade standard zoom for APS-C E-mount cameras. It provides a constant f/2.8 aperture throughout its 24-82.5mm equivalent range, making it a viable alternative to multiple prime lenses. The lens incorporates XD Linear Motors for silent and fast autofocus, suitable for both stills and video. Despite its bright aperture, it remains relatively compact, weighing 494g, and features a dust and moisture-resistant construction. Used examples should be checked for smooth zoom and focus ring rotation. As a G-series lens, the build quality is high, but the front element is large and should be checked for damage. SDS inspects the electronics to ensure the customisable focus hold button is responsive and that the lens communicates correctly with the body. We also check for any signs of impact on the extending inner barrel.
