The Sony 16-55mm f/2.8 G is a constant-aperture zoom lens for Sony E-mount APS-C cameras. Its optical design includes two AA elements, two aspherical elements, and three ED elements to minimize optical aberrations and chromatic aberration. The 9-blade circular aperture helps create smooth background defocus, while the Nano Crystal coating reduces reflections, flare, and ghosting.
The XD linear motor supports fast, precise autofocus and tracking of moving subjects. The lens features a customizable focus hold button, an autofocus/manual focus switch, and a linear response manual focus ring. Its construction is resistant to dust and moisture, while the fluorine coating on the front element repels water, oils, and other contaminants.
