Sony SEL 16mm f/2.8 Nex
Sony SEL 16mm f/2.8 Nex | Go wide for landscapes, buildings and skies
Without an ultra-wide lens, fitting a broad landscape or a whole building into the frame can mean stepping back until the view changes—or the space runs out. The Sony SEL 16mm f/2.8 Nex is an interchangeable ultra-wide prime for photographers who want to include more of a scene from where they’re standing. It’s especially well suited to landscapes, architecture and astrophotography, where a broad view helps make the surroundings part of the picture. Autofocus keeps everyday framing straightforward, while the f/2.8 maximum aperture is useful when you’re working in dimmer light, including after sunset. As a prime, it asks you to compose with a fixed focal length rather than zooming in and out. That suits deliberate framing and makes it a focused option for wide scenes, rather than a single lens for every kind of subject.
Specialist Note
At the entrance to a narrow street, I’d start at 16mm and look for a foreground detail to give the wide view a clear point of interest. For architecture, keep the camera level as you frame; that helps keep the building’s vertical lines looking natural. The f/2.8 maximum aperture is a practical advantage when you’re composing under a dark sky, since it lets in more light than a smaller maximum aperture would. I’d suggest this lens to someone who often photographs buildings, open landscapes or stars. Its fixed focal length does mean you’ll need to move—or accept a different composition—when the framing isn’t quite right.
