The lens is made in Thailand, and comes with a certificate of inspection. It takes 55mm filters. Comes with a Zeiss sticker ;)

If you are frustrated with the SEL1855 Kit zoom lens especially with subpar results like barrel distortions at the wide-end look no further; It beats the kit lens in almost all distortion related issues and has more zoom range viz; 16mm to 70mm.

The minimum distance to focus is almost 1ft which is a bit problematic; Not much change in Image Quality when compared to kit lens

Very useful range. Lightweight and very nice build. Good sharpness in the center wide open. Corners are OK wide open and improve by f/8. Very nice contrast and colors.

Price!!

This lens isn't known for its sharpness, and often gets bad reviews by those who are slaves to fashion and tests that have no real world relevance. It's not soft; it's just not razor sharp. People focus on razor sharpness because it's unnatural..

"I bought an NEX-3 because it was small and light. It came with the 16-50 lens. The tiny package produced very, very good images. It now replaces my compact camera. On the strength of that experience, I moved to the a6000 to gain more finesse and a viewfinder. Same lens, better camera performance.

This has become my favourite lens for my Sony A6000 camera. Not bulky, small enough to carry around. So far perfect pictures ever time.

Great Picture Quality; Lightweight

I had mixed feelings about buying this lens given the varied reviews it seemed to get. Took the plunge as wanted a new lens for family holiday to alaska. The Sony G lens with slightly wider focal length of 18-105 was tempting but the compact size and weight of this lens clinched it.

While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present

Apple's latest non-Pro iPhone is superb - it's just that it's strikingly similar to last year's effort.

Still an incredible smartphone, Brilliant battery life gets a bit better, Excellent camera system gets a bit better

Last year’s Pro hardware, Wireless charging slow by modern standards, No USB-C; it’s now well overdue

A compact zoom lens for APS-C E-mount compatible Sony cameras that sports optical image stabilisation, a constant maximum aperture of f/4, and provides a field of view equivalent to a 24-105mm lens on a 35mm camera.

The Sony E 16-70mm F4 is an excellent lens. It is sharp and high contrast at ALL focal length and ALL aperture. Usually, a zoom lens tend to be soft at the tele end and wide open. The Sony 16-70 is very sharp at 70mm F4.

sharp; good contrast
