Sony FE 16-25mm f/2.8 G Lens

The Sony FE 16-25mm F2.8 Lens is one of the best Sony lenses with its constant wide aperture and whisper-quiet autofocus, ready to bring the wow to both low-light and action-packed scenes. It offers durability, ease of use, and features that are built for photography and videography pros and enthusiasts alike.
The compact full-frame F2.8 wide-angle zoom lens is an excellent match for α-series cameras, with advanced technology ensuring that camera performance is fully realized from ultra-wide 16 mm to wide 25 mm focal lengths. Outstanding G Lens^TM resolution and bokeh are available throughout that range, and precision AF means fast, sharp focus.

Advanced Optical Design

This full-frame ultrawide Sony lens includes three ED glass and four aspherical elements. One of these aspherical elements also has an extra-low dispersion quality. These are key in cutting down the presence of pesky color fringes that can appear in high-contrast areas of a photo.

With the edges of the lens taken care of, the image quality remains sharp and free from any flaws whether you’re capturing in 16mm or 25mm. This kind of accuracy in image rendering is important for high-resolution photography because it will preserve the details and keep the colors as real as possible.

Capture High-Quality Video

The Sony FE 16-25mm F2.8 Lens keeps up with Sony’s recent Alpha 9 III camera, maintaining a subject crisply in focus even when capturing very smooth and high-definition video at fast speeds. That means this lens can achieve 4K quality at 120 frames per second or Full HD at 240 frames per second, thanks to two optimized linear motors and precision control system.

Excellent close-up performance

Painstaking optical optimization has achieved excellent close-up performance at all focal lengths. Wide-angle coverage lets you shoot close while simultaneously capturing the subject's surroundings.

Compact and lightweight design

Even though it boasts an advanced optical design that includes four aspherical elements, one of which is ED Aspherical, this lens is only 74.8 mm in diameter by 91.4 mm in length (3 x 3-5/8 inch).

Dust and moisture resistant design

An updated dust and moisture resistant design provides extra reliability for outdoor use in challenging conditions. Silicon seals around buttons and switches and a rubber gasket around the lens mount greatly reduce the likelihood of dust and moisture incursion.

Metadata-Recording Lens for Pros

Are you looking for lenses to use for professional video making? You’re in luck because the lens has a cool trick up its sleeve: it minimizes focus breathing, which is when the angle of view changes a little during focusing. Plus, it can record metadata, embedding information within the video file, so anyone who views each video can learn all the camera settings used.

After capturing the world through a broader lens with the FE 16-25mm f/2.8 G Lens, you'll never look back. This compact, full-frame F2.8 wide-angle zoom lens is designed to perfectly complement a-series cameras, fully harnessing their performance across an ultra-wide 16mm to wide 25mm focal range. Experience the exceptional G Lens resolution and bokeh across the entire focal spectrum, coupled with precision AF for razor-sharp focus in both still photography and video.

The FE 16-25mm f/2.8 G Lens is meticulously crafted with three ED (Extra low Dispersion) glass elements and four aspherical elements, including one ED Aspherical glass element. These elements work in harmony to deliver high resolution from 16mm to 25mm, reducing flare, ghosting, and color bleeding for crystal clear images. The F2.8 aperture and 11 aperture blades create stunning G Lens bokeh, while the maximum magnification of 0.2x (AF)/0.23x (MF) and a minimum focus distance of 0.18 m (0.59ft) (AF)/0.17 m (0.56ft) (MF) at the wide end enable breathtaking close-ups.

The lens features two specially optimized linear motors and a precision control system for rapid and accurate focus acquisition on any subject. Its superior tracking performance is fully capable of keeping pace with Sony's advanced model a9 III camera at up to 120 fps. Precise, quiet focus is smoothly acquired and maintained even when shooting high frame rate 4K 120p or FHD 240p movies.

The FE 16-25mm f/2.8 G Lens is a compact F2.8 wide zoom lens that's always ready for action. Despite its high-performance optical design and large F2.8 maximum aperture, the lens measures just 74.8 mm in diameter by 91.4 mm in length (3 x 3-5/8 inch). The use of engineering plastics for some components enhances durability while reducing weight to just 409 grams (14.5 oz.), making it a stress-free F2.8 choice for extended shooting sessions or low-light conditions.

The lens also offers comprehensive control with focus, zoom, and aperture rings. The aperture ring features an aperture click ON/OFF switch, and a customizable focus hold button and AF/MF switch are also provided. Linear Response MF ensures immediate, intuitive manual focus control. The lens is dust and moisture resistant, ensuring maximum reliability in challenging outdoor conditions, and the front element features a fluorine coating. The filter diameter is 67 mm.
