我使用過好幾支標準變焦鏡頭，呢一支鏡以2.8光圈計，算係用過最輕嘅鏡頭，這鏡頭拍攝嘅畫面非常清𥇦，甚至可以話聞相都可以，旅行拍攝、日常生活拍攝及拍攝婚禮，絕對沒有問題。 至於可以改善嘅地方，就係體積再縮細，加埋防震功能就更佳。

I do mostly video with an FX-30. I expected I would use my motorized 18-105 f/4 APSC zoom G-lens more because of the extra zoom factor and the motor, an use the 16-55 for beauty stills or special shots. But instead I use this all the time. The 18-105 just does not focus close enough and you can't beat the 2.8 aperture. I wish they'd offer a motorized zoom version of this, but I guess they can't fit the motor.

Great lens and perfect for all that I need to do in social media and on my leisure…

If you could only have one lens and you shoot Super 35 (APS-C) then this is the lens to choose. F2.8 throughout the zoom, it’s a very fine accompaniment to the Sony fx30. Highly recommended…

唯一APSC 1655範圍的變焦2.8光圈，各方面都確實不錯 希望黑科技可以再有驚喜，假如可以內變焦或更輕巧就不得了

This lens is fantastic. It is really sharp and detailed. The build quality feels solid. I am very happy with the product.

I wanted a lens that would give me close to the same range on my A6700 as I enjoy on my Sony R1s and this has fitted the bill very nicely. It’s a compact zoom that is easy to carry around that is well made and finished, looking handsome on the A6700. Zoom and focus rings have well-weighted movements. The lens mount is tight and positive. The 67mm filter thread allows me to adopt a lot of the accessories that I use on the R1s and the other lenses I have for this system. The already decent close framing at the long end is boosted to mild macro levels with a 10mm extension tube or a supplementary close-up lens such as the Sony VCL-M3367, both of which are light and easy to carry and further extend the versatility of this zoom. Optically, this is a very good performer and the constant f2.8 aperture makes it versatile in all lighting conditions. When stopped down a little you get the best out of it. Pixel peeping reveals very good, if not stellar, micro-contrast but sharpness is admirable and I’m very happy with the results so far. Focus speed is excellent and it’s good that Sony have provided a focus-hold button on the lens body as well as the AF / MF switch. Stabilisation provided by the A6700 works very well with this lens allowing me to shoot down to 1/20 sec. at the telephoto-end - pretty remarkable. This lens is an ideal walk-around and travel companion with lovely handling and I’m going to be using it often.

So far, I'm impressed with this lens! I've only used G Masters in the past but wanted something smaller for travel.

無論風景或人像都適合，大光圈鏡頭質素很好。攜帶輕便，街頭拍攝首選。整體是讚多過劾。我會向其他拍友推薦這個鏡頭。

This has got to be the sharpest lens i have ever used. The focusing is so fast on my a6400 is truly amazing and I havent lost a fast moving shot yet. It does look bulky on the a6400, but it feels balanced. Well worth the purchase.

I have used many Sony lens and this one has the most build of lens elements in the design. Having used cameras for over fifty years you know when a product gives good quality images without fudging them as I say. I am one of the old school photographers where the photo you took had to be spot on so maybe twenty photos one would be the right one this was on film and that cost money where as now if I take fifty shots it does not matter . So I have only had the lens for a few hours but in that time got the feel of the weight and operation of the lens, while normally within the first hour I would have taken around thirty photos this exercise was only 20 over the twenty shots my main goal is perfection of all the colours and in focus sharpness must be spot on. I check on what colours I am photographing against the actual subjects while they are still there to see. So the lens operates as I would expect it smooth and precise when I am out and about sometime there is no second chance especially with wild life and focus is the essence. If I am photographing moving object I like to be in control while bust control is there on my Sony camera there is something special about taken how many images and the art of doing it. So onto OSS while it's in my title I was brought up to use a camera to eliminate camera shake and can say this lens on my Sony body without built in stabilising is as it should be perfect. A word on the weight it does help to overcome OSS So overall without OSS which some photographers would like it loses a star

Fast lens. A bit bulky, but a fast lens usually is, by design. Very smooth and quiet. A bit pricey, but worth the cost.

Got this lens for my brand new a6600 and it is the perfect lens for it, super fast and tac sharp, really compact and light, looking forward to getting out and using it other than indoors.

以前用 Nikon 17-55 f2.8 ! 支鏡係內對焦！ 明白如果支鏡要做到內對焦會大左重左 ！ 不過內對焦既外樣靚好多唔洗成日好似有支野伸出來甘 ！ 如果做得到既話就very good ! Sony 呢支鏡畫質好靚 ！ 值得推介 ！

Very versatile all rounder lens, extremely sharp, good bokeh quality.

It is amazing. I loved it quality so good even low light

I bought this about 2 months ago and it is the go to lens for the a6600. It does an amazing job, very fast, great bokeh.

So far so good, nice sharpness in most conditions, really appreciate the constant f2.8 aperture. The starburst effect at high f stop is fantastic and the bokeh is nice and smooth. The lens is a little bulkier than I'd like given it's a 16-55mm (doesnt fit in my camera case for my previous 16-70mm F4) but all in all very pleased with it.

I reviewed several lenses from Sony and Tamron but nothing comes close to this 17-55 mm lens. It doesn't great for overall any type of shooting. Whether its landscape, portraits or close ups.

This is the best zoom lens I have ever owned. To be honest, I was quite disappointed with the performance of the Zeiss 16 70 F4. After seeing a lot of positive reviews from Google and YouTube about this G, I gave it a try. It is good that I hardly changed my lens ever after attaching this lens to the body of A6600. I still prefer the images from the prime 50 F1.8. But the versatility of the zoom made photographing more enjoyable. The lack of OSS of this lens made me spent twice the money to also purchase A6600 to have IBIS. Still my experience with A6600 made me more accustomed to the layout of full frame A7 series and the new technology of eye auto focus.

My copy of this lens is very sharp throughout the focal range, even in the corners. Low light performance is also decent for a zoom lens. CA is well managed. Fairly small, lightweight and build quality is excellent. The focal range is good and covers the most commonly used lengths. However at £1075 it is very expensive, and for this price I would also have expected built-in OSS. Despite this, I like the lens very much and am glad I bought it.

So I paired this thing with my a6100... and even though this doesn't have OSS, its a monster when shooting stills. I have carried this thing up and down the Tetons climbing, and it works flawlessly.

Versatile and very sharp lens, even at 2.8 aperture. This is my go to lens. It's almost perfect. The only thing I wish is that it has OSS

I bought it as an XMAS gift to myself. I had an almost identical spec'd Nikon 16/55F2.8 with LINEAR MOTOR for my D90. It was huge and heavy. It had a relatively fast lens, and a focal length range for 95% of photos I took. The Sony is smaller, lighter, and has a linear motor. Linear motors focus instantly and silently. If shooting candid shots, you will not miss focus. Everyone rants at the cost of the Sony. Well the Nikon was $2500, 16 years ago! Even at street prices, the Sony came out cheaper.

Bought this Lens in March for the A6600 but it ended up as my everyday lens on my A7R4, quality is superb for an APSC crop on this camera and slightly better 4K in this mode

Does what it says on the box, extremely well, real field depth.

輕巧，出色，大光圈，反應快，銳利，e-mount中apsc可能係最出色…………………………………………

本人是 a6500 的用家, 這鏡頭的 F2.8 光圈 16-55 mm 焦段的畫質由中央至邊角也很出色, 鏡身上的功能鍵可以設定成 [眼控AF], 令 a6500 拍攝人像更加順手, 對焦也更準確, 再加上沒有 OSS 鏡身防震系統令此鏡更為輕巧, 所以絕對是 a6500 用家的最佳拍檔, 當然 a6600 的用家也值得入手。

I used to travel with the Sigma Trio for Sony APS-C: 16mm, 30mm, 56mm F/1.4 and the quality was amazing. However, being the heavy traveler that I am (up to 6 continents this year, yes, I said continents, not countries!) I need something more travel friendly. Switching between 3 primes was just soooo annoying. This 16-55mm G lens gives me just as good as image quality and now the extra convenience. Also for travel, I found myself shooting a lot of environmental portraits at F/2.8 - F/5.6. For example if the background is too blurred (i.e. Eiffel Tower or the Egyptian pyramids) then it doesn't show the beautiful scenery. Therefore I am not missing out much on the Sigma's F/1.4 at all. Now all I need is for Sony to make a APSC super wide angle zoom version 2 (update the Sony E 10-18mm f/4 to a GM or G series!)

用開Sony F4蔡鏡，終於比我等到 APAC 都出2.8. 去旅行用了，清到不得了。只是有點貴. Recommend to buy

Yes its expensive....but worth every penny. If you own the Sigma 16mm this lens is about the same weight and length. It has amazing sharpness, color, clarity, contrast...I can go on and on. I'm very happy with my purchase and you will be too.

Been using the lens for a couple of months now, build and image quality is outstanding (with a6300 body). This is the lens to get if you’re intending to stay in the Sony apsc system as an overall excellent (and small-ish) all-in-one lens that covers most of the common focal lengths you need from landscape to short-telephoto. Only gripe is it’s super pricey, look for it on sale or at a 3rd party seller if it’s cheaper!

I bought this lens to replace my three Sigma f1.4 primes and apart from the loss of two stops of exposure have not been disappointed. The lens has exceptional sharpness and contrast at all apertures and focal lengths and easily matches or exceeds the Sigma primes. Build quality and handling are excellent.

I bought it 2 months ago, and I am very happy using the lens. It's compact and has great IQ. For me 24-70 in crop sensor 16-55 is the ideal lens. I can take landscape to closeup portrait using this lens.

My wife bought me this for Christmas and I've been playing with it since. This is definitely the best lense I have for my a6500. Very sharp at full aperture and easy to use. I love the constant f2.8. This will go with me everywhere. It'll probably not be my video lense of choice as my 24mm f1.8 Zeiss prime works better on the gimbal and is also a beautiful lense.

16至55開到2.8都非常銳利，無與倫比。是我所用過或測試過這麼多牌子的APSC鏡中畫質最強的一支。用這支鏡根本唔需要上全幅。加上本人的A6600的機身防震，比我之前用過的全幅5DMARK3加24120畫質要強許多許多。

Sold my 16-70 Zeiss f4. Zoom on this lens is much smoother and I like the f2.8.

輕巧 畫質鏡利 對焦快速 鏡身造功紮實 成像靚過之前16-70細蔡 而且相對價錢抵玩好多 唯一缺點無內置防手震
