  • Sony 16-50mm f/2.8 DT SSM SAL1650

    10 out of 10 points and recommended
    blazing fast, extremely sharp, outstanding color, weather sealed, silent when used for video
    not great out of flash range

    This SONY 16-50MM 2.8 lens goes with our new SONY A77s like peanut butter and jelly. For outdoor shots in good light it is razor sharp through the full range.

    Tonight was the first time we shot indoors and the SONY 16-50 lens performed wonderfully except when shooting beyond flash range. We weren't planning on shooting much so we left the external flashes in the bag just to test the lens in low light. After reviewing the photos at home we wished we would have gone ahead and mounted a flash because the photos in range were perfect and most of those over 20' were a bit grainy and not as sharp.

    This lens produces excellent color and sharp photos and is well worth the price. This lens could have easily been a "G" lens. We have samples posted under the SONY|MINOLTA tab on our site at http://www.abetterdj.net

    If you have been thinking about purchasing a SONY A77 we also highly recommend it, it is a fabulous camera!
