Sony DT 16-50mm f/2.8 SSM Lens

The Sony DT 16-50mm f/2.8 SSM is a fast standard zoom lens designed for Sony A-mount APS-C sensor cameras, delivering a constant f/2.8 aperture across the zoom range equivalent to approximately 24-75mm on a full-frame body. Sony’s SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor) autofocus system provides fast and quiet focusing with full-time manual focus override. The optical construction incorporates two aspherical elements and one ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element to control distortion and chromatic aberration throughout the zoom range. A minimum focus distance of 1.15 feet allows for reasonably close subject work across focal lengths. The lens is built to Sony’s DT specification, designating it as optimized for APS-C sensor bodies within the A-mount system.
