Sony's compact ultra-wide zoom — constant f/2.8 from 16-25mm in remarkably small package.
The Sony FE 16-25mm f/2.8 G launched in 2024 as a compact constant f/2.8 ultra-wide zoom — wider than the Tamron 17-28mm and lighter than the Sony 16-35mm f/2.8 GM II. It targets landscape and architecture photographers wanting the widest possible f/2.8 coverage.
Optically very good — G-series quality with sharp results across the ultra-wide range. The 16mm starting point is wider than most compact ultra-wide f/2.8 options. XD Linear Motor AF. Constant f/2.8. Close focus at 17cm at 16mm.
Sony FE mount with 67mm filter thread — accepts standard filters at 16mm. Approximately 409g — incredibly compact. Dust and moisture resistant. Aperture ring with de-click. 17cm close focus at 16mm — impressive.
New to used market. Wider than Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 at 16mm. Lighter than Sony 16-35mm f/2.8 GM II but shorter range. For photographers wanting the widest possible constant f/2.8 zoom in the most compact possible package.
