With a 16–25 mm range that is ideal for scenery, cityscapes, selfies, travel, and general snapshots, this versatile wide-angle zoom delivers beautiful G Lens rendering and bokeh at all focal lengths in a remarkably compact, lightweight design. You get refined large-aperture wide-angle imaging performance for both stills and movies.
Superb sharpness at any focal length
An advanced optical design using three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements plus four aspherical elements that include one ED Aspherical glass element delivers high resolution throughout the 16–25 mm zoom range in a remarkably compact lens. Flare, ghosting, and colour bleeding are effectively subdued for clear, detailed rendering.
Impressive close-up performance
Maximum magnification is 0.2x (AF)/0.23x (MF) with a minimum focus distance of 0.59 ft (0.18 m) (AF)/0.56ft (0.17 m) (MF) at the 16 mm end of the range and 0.79 ft (AF) (0.24 m)/0.73 ft (0.22 m) (MF) at the 25 mm end of the range for superb wide-angle close-up performance. Wide-angle coverage lets you shoot close while simultaneously capturing the subject’s surroundings.
Deep bokeh makes the subject stand out
A maximum aperture that remains constant at F2.8 throughout the zoom range, state-of-the-art optical design, and an 11-blade aperture unit all work in harmony to deliver smooth, deep G Lens bokeh in a versatile wide-angle zoom lens. ED glass elements reduce colour bleeding for excellent contrast and clarity.
AF that maximizes body potential
Two specially optimized linear motors and a precision control system acquire focus on any subject with remarkable speed and accuracy. Tracking performance is excellent, easily keeping up even with the Sony’s advanced model α9 III body at up to 120fps. Precise, quiet focus is smoothly acquired and maintained even when shooting high frame rate 4K 120p or FHD 240p movies.
High optical performance in a compact lens
Even though it boasts an advanced optical design that includes four aspherical elements, one of which is ED Aspherical, this lens is only 3 in in diameter by 3.63 in in length (74.8 mm x 91.4 mm). Engineering plastics enhance durability while reducing weight to just 14.5 oz (409 grams), making this a low-stress F2.8 choice for long shooting sessions or low-light situations.
F2.8 in a mobile zoom is great for movies
Wide angles, F2.8 in an agile zoom that can be handheld, quiet AF, and reduced focus breathing4 make this lens great for movies. Minimal extension and centre of gravity shift make gimbal or drone mounting easy.
More versatile movie features
Movie features provided by the latest α bodies are fully supported. And combined with in-body Active Mode stabilization, it can deliver stable handheld footage at wide angles while walking around. It also supports body breathing compensation and metadata recording.
Three control rings in a compact lens
For direct, intuitive creative control when shooting stills and movies, this lens features a full complement of three control rings: focus, zoom, and aperture. The aperture ring click stops can be turned on or off to match the shooting situation.
Comprehensive control
In addition to three control rings, the FE 16–25mm F2.8 G includes a customizable focus hold button and AF/MF switch. Linear Response MF ensures immediate, intuitive manual focus control. Inner focus makes it easy to use rotatable 67 mm filters, such as variable ND types that are often used when shooting movies.
Reliable in challenging conditions
A dust- and moisture-resistant design maximizes reliability in challenging outdoor conditions6, and the front element features a fluorine coating.
