  1. Sugarcircus –

    I was able to get this lens on the A7 iii camera one time (and it was a tight turn) and take a few pictures with it before it started giving me error messages.
    When I went to take it off the camera I had a bit of a struggle.
    Tried again and same problem but this time it wouldn’t even let me take a picture due to errors with the compatibility.
    Took it back to the store to return it and the guy at the store tried it on the floor model and said he had the same difficulty getting it on and off the camera.
    Maybe this one just isn’t meant for the A7 iii despite that I was told it was.

  2. grsa –

    Lens has great lowlight capability, clear shots with little corner aberrations. Bokeh is a plus as well.

  3. Photohunter –

    I’m a little disappointed that I cannot manipulate distance with this lens.

  4. PZJR –

    I bought this lens to use while on vacation. It works great for pictures of buildings and landscapes. You can get a lot more into the frame and still see people well. I do wish the aperture was a bit lower as it is difficult to get a blurred background. That said it’s a great lens to take on vacation.

  5. DaVinci –

    Perfect for wide angle shots, indoor and nature. Crisp shots!
    I truly appreciate how light weight – incredible weight to price. Perfect for extended backcountry trips!

  6. voodoo –

    Good wide angle lens, needed to get better pics sometimes

  7. hazyrva –

    I tried this lens out to take photos of interiors. Unfortunately this angle wasn’t very wide on a cropped sensor so I had to return it. Quality wasn’t there as well but for the cost of this lens I thought I would try it out. In photography you definitely have to invest in some good quality glass.

  8. Surprised –

    This is a great camera lens if you are taking wide shots with your sony digital camera. i would highly recommend it to everyone.

  9. Carolann –

    Very nice lens! I took this little beauty down into the Grand Canyon!!

  10. Strtup8up –

    Purchased as replacement for daughters blogging camera. She loves it

  11. Alex –

    This is a great camera lens addition at a relatively low price. Takes beautiful pictures.

  12. TheOne –

    Lens works great with my Sony alpha camera. Exactly what I needed

  13. Tyler –

    Returned because auto focus is very slow. Crisp lens, awful auto focus.

  14. Jenknowsalittle –

    First time using a wide angle lense. Took a little finagling to get into my Sony A7. The track was a slightly difficult to align. The quality of photo is amazing with the correct settings.

  15. SMaharaja –

    My only real complaint with this lens is that I wish I could manually focus. But other than that it has a nice wide angle and produces quality images and videos.

  16. Lazy420 –

    Works wonders on my Sony I recommend you go get you one

  17. Rozy –

    used it to get wide shots on A7rii. As long as you have the proper lighting situation you’ll be good to go. The lense will not be as crisp as a full frame lense. But will still get you great ulta wide shots

  18. Happi –

    Amazing lens to use with the camera, produces clean clear picutes

  19. Hktl –

    I’m not a professional or amateur photographer. From what I can tell it’s a nice wide angle lens for the price.

  20. Chippermonkey –

    Super wide angle prime lens I use for youtube video sketches and night sky photography. Love having this guy in my bag.

  21. Tvguy –

    I needed a wide angle lens and love the e mount for this camera. I was surprised at how often I go to this lens.

  22. LarryLove2000 –

    Tack sharp, fast lens, and it’s wiiiiiiide for dramatic images.

  23. Ewin –

    great lens for social media projects, wide angle is good quality and pairs well with different kinds of cameras.

  24. Techsavage22 –

    Great simple lens for wide video and wide pictures, very nice and bright. Light weight for traveling too.

  25. Danlanta –

    This is a great lens for the money. Very wide field of view and you can get a nice blurry background as long as there is some distance 5′ or more. For that really blurry background you will want a 1.8 or 1.4 aperture.

  26. Erick –

    I made this purchase because of the value, easy use and overall quality when taking photos of large rooms, landscapes and large open areas. The Sony E-mount lenses are quick to swap and add adapters with minimal effort. This lens also works great with all types of lighting indoors or outdoors or with added light sources.

  27. Blackapino –

    It’s referred to As the Pancake Lens. But don’t let that fool you. This Len’s is a f2.8 16mm Lens that’s got the perfect focal length for Vlogging as this is a Wide Angle Lens.

  28. Dezan –

    I love this lens! Very easy to use and works just great! Well worth the money spent!

  29. Mastanul –

    Good pancake lens to have around, especially if you want to test it with different camera 🙂

  30. Phillip –

    Great wide angle. Not the best quality. Great for the price tho.

  31. Astrophotography –

    Excellent lens for night sky photography. Great size to carry along.

  32. Ps5s –

    Great starter lens with good crisp quality pictures from this pancake lens. Quality of it is very well built and it is also a good back up and can fit easily in the bag

  33. Papo –

    Sony Makes A Nices Lens …..Photos come out crisp and sharp.

  34. Jaff –

    This is a very respectable lens when it comes to picture quality and can even compete with some higher end “sony” lenses in that department, however I think I may be returning it. The other night, I was noticing some really bad inconsistencies with AF and this was happening with more than enough light, correct exposure settings, focus speed tested on normal and responsive which is the highest it can go on my camera. I even swapped cameras. Still happened. I swapped to the 18-135 zoom lens that came with my A6400, and it performed just fine, with no AF issues whatsoever. Very very odd. I’m guessing this could be why this lens is so cheap and why many people like it but for me the longevity is worrisome, now I am paranoid about how long of a shelf life this thing actually has. Its probably not very long. It also feels VERY cheap and I noticed you really have to force that mount if you want to hear it click into the cam body. Not a good sound or feeling, so i’ve just rarely taken it off unless absolutely necessary. Maybe skip this lens and go for a (cheapish) wide from sigma, samyang or tamron. I’ve never had any issues with any of their budget friendly lenses and they are backed by pretty good warranties. If I had to go for only one wide prime, I am replacing this with the sigma 16mm f1.4 contemporary. Its bigger and undoubtedly heavier but better quality than this for sure and ABSOLUTELY NO ISSUES WITH AF. That can be so frustrating to shoot a whole session only to find out after, you have to go and do it over because the lens isn’t behaving as it should. If this is all you can afford, go ahead and roll the dice. Its a good looking lens and sharp, but the quality and longevity may not be there with this offering from sony.

  35. DSJS12 –

    Works incredibly for live-streaming at a limited distances.

  36. Unknown –

    Not a bad addition to the camera bag. One of the first additional lenses I purchased for my Sony A6600.

  37. Dave –

    Good lens I used for Northam lights. Easy to carry on because of light weight. Also price is good.

  38. NYQ83 –

    I don’t get the point of this, frequently it struggles to focus, image is not as good as the bundled lens that my Sony ZV-E10 came with. I’ll be returning it.

  39. Luke –

    Awesome lense. I would definitely recommend this product. I use it with my professional camera.

  40. soeh –

    My first lens that I bought after the kit lens probably better choices out there but the fact that it’s made by Sony comfort me to use without any error with my Sony a6400

  41. twitchtvThatmemphiskid –

    Great wide angle lens for streaming. Looks amazing in low light situations

  42. OneLove –

    Not sure if i needed this lens, but wanted it. I think it works well – definitely a noob when it comes to cameras but I’m happy to have it in my lens collection

  43. classix –

    the sigma 16mm was sold out so i went with this one on open box to save cash and it was well worth it, looks great on video

  44. etherealelysian –

    Great product! Had to return due to the fact that it was not compatible with my camera but it was with my siblings. Really sharp quality.

  45. JCarlos –

    I really like this lens b/c it’s good with low light compared to regular lens that are used for day pictures. It’s also good for up close pictures and has a decent distance quality

  46. herbie –

    HAVEN’T USED THIS LENSE YET. ANXIOUS TO TAKE IT ON OUR VACATION.

  47. BobB –

    I was looking for an indoor lens that would not distort edges for taking photos of rooms in home (I’m a real estate agent). Price of lens and quality of photos is quite good and would recommend purchasing

  48. Rope –

    Its great gives better lighting and i would recommend.

  49. BrandonC –

    Good little lens for the price. Would recommend as a kit lens

  50. JoshuaZ –

    Shoots great pictures, I bought this lense with low expectations but so far so good
