Sony FE 16-25mm f/2.8 G - Sony E-mount

The Sony FE 16-25mm f/2.8 G is a compact ultra-wide-angle zoom lens designed for full-frame E-mount cameras. It maintains a constant f/2.8 aperture throughout the zoom range while remaining significantly lighter than traditional 16-35mm lenses. This makes it an ideal choice for landscape photographers, architectural work, and gimbal-based videography where weight and balance are paramount. As a relatively modern lens, check for smooth operation of the zoom and focus rings. The weather-sealing gaskets should be intact and free from grit. We inspect the glass for internal dust or moisture ingress, particularly around the rear element. The lens is tested for decentring to ensure sharpness is consistent across the frame at all focal lengths. We also verify that the customisable focus hold button responds correctly.
