Review on Sony SAL16105: Versatile Wide-Range Zoom Lens for Stunning Photography by Karen Nahm ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It was a reasonable purchase, I will order more.

A good all-round lens, but not worth the price. Has pros: Large range of focal lengths, small dimensions for such a range of focal lengths, small geometry distortion at the extreme focal lengths, sharp at a certain aperture (different at different focal lengths) and in good lighting, relatively fast AF, availability in stores. With its cons. XA over the entire range of focal lengths, autofocus is rare, but it happens that it misses even in good lighting (it’s good that it doesn’t drive back and forth), a small aperture range for a sharp picture, it’s a bit dark, the price.

Different pros: Wide range of focal lengths. Has cons: soap in the edges including up to f8, 70% miss in back focus

Got pros: Large range, compact, relatively light. Its cons: The angle of rotation in the focus manual is small, it is dark, it lathers along the edges up to 8 at a wide angle.

For 20 sput they could cram ultra sound or make it brighter and better quality. IMHO the price/quality is not worth it.

The model is good, but there are NO reasons for VOSTOG. The price-quality ratio for a toy is not Zeiss, however, Sony's glass prices have always been relatively high.
