Although Sony's been releasing new mirrorless APS-C cameras regularly for the last few years, a common complaint has been the lack of new lenses that are designed specifically for crop sensor E mount cameras. With the introduction of the Sony E 16-55mm f2.8 G lens, photographers shooting with Sony APS-C mirrorless cameras finally have a new first-party standard zoom option available. The SEL1655G is Sony's first 16-55mm zoom designed specifically for crop sensor E mount cameras, with a 35mm Full Frame equivalent focal length of 24-82.5mm and a constant aperture of f2.8. 24-70mm f2.8 zooms are the workhorse lenses for many working photographers, and this 16-55mm is essentially the APS-C version of that lens, albeit much lighter and more compact. The Sony E 16-55mm f2.8 G features an optical design consisting of two AA lens, two aspherical elements, and three ED glasses, and is driven by an XD Linear Motor allowing the lens to focus quickly, accurately, and quietly. Being a G lens, the 16-55mm is also dust and moisture resistant.
