  | sent on 04 Maggio 2024 Pros: Lightweight, small, great focal range Cons: Nothing really relevant to me Opinion: In my opinion, the focal range, the low weight and the minimum size make it the ideal lens to keep attached to an APS-C and shoot very light throughout the day without the need for anything else. Since I bought it it has become the first and often only choice: I attach it to my Sony A6700 for a very discreet and light combination that also fits in a fanny pack. Ideal for visiting a city but also for walking in the mountains. Maybe it won't have top-of-the-line performance but I'm holding on to it |
 | sent on 09 Dicembre 2023 Pros: Lightness, construction, overall quality. Cons: If it had had 10mm more on the tele side it would have been perfect for me. Opinion: Got used by Rce with 2 years warranty at a great price replaced the 18 135 that I have been using for 2 years. The overall quality is better even if the 70mm sometimes limits me a bit, still satisfied with the purchase. Focal range that, on 90% of occasions, is sufficient with good overall quality. Closed from f8 to f11 returns sharp, detailed images across the entire frame. |
 | sent on 21 Luglio 2020 Pros: Compact and light, focal excursion, colors. Cons: A little soft at the edges especially at 24mm. If you use the camera flash, casts its shadow. Opinion: I bought it with a lot of hesitation, having read miles of conflicting opinions and opinions. I also returned the first copy because it was disavowed and slightly blurred the right side. Compared to the 16-50 in kit the photo looks sharper and more crystal clear, with slightly brighter, bright colors, as if you could see the image through a more transparent glass (and probably it is); you should not think, however, that the differences on the single photo are striking, with a bit of postproduction you can make the photo of 1650 very similar to that of 1670... However, I noticed that very often the photos made with the Zeiss are already beautiful so, you work on it shortly after the shot. The big difference with 16-50 is the largest focal excursion combined with the constant f4, which allows you to make much more fulfilling portraits, or photos of people (children) at greater distance, which often happens (for example at the sea). In summary, taking it as the only lens for a holiday or a day at the seaside, on the whole it has its validity: compact, light, sharp, beautiful colors and excellent three-dimensionality of photos, perfect focal excursion for non-specialist use. Compared to the 18-135, which I did not try, in the landscape I did not want to give up the 16mm. The drop in sharpness at the edges in common use is not limiting: already with the 16-50 in kit, which however is lower, landscape photos printed up to one meter wide are still very sharp, and in the photos to people the problem does not exist. P.S. I found that it is not easy at all to test a target, there are a thousand infinitesimal variables (focus, variations in ambient light, any movements etc.) that can change the result enormously; in the end I hung a sheet of graph paper on the wall and took photos with easel and autofocus, testing in this way however only the sharpness at a short distance. On the photos of landscape at great distance, while using the easel, it takes infinite patience to get reliable evidence and comparisons. |
 | sent on 21 Agosto 2019 Pros: Great all-rounder, compact, realistic colors Cons: price of the new Opinion: Assuming I'm an amateur, I bought this lens about a month ago. The price of the new is really high, so I was looking to find a good used. Fortunately during the first day it dropped to 639 euros. I bought it right away, also taking advantage of the sony cashback and in the end I paid it 539 euros. The difference from the 16-50 kit lens, in my opinion, is noticeable. At F4 it falls at the edges, but closing f8 also the edges become sharp. The colors it returns are great. One thing I didn't like were the numbers that are painted that, instead, given the list price, I would expect engraved. I am satisfied with the purchase |
 | sent on 13 Marzo 2019 Pros: Good handyman, well built, solid, compact Cons: Serigraphs of the focal scale that are erased. Not fundamental, but sin. Opinion: Taken used by Rce Padova with Sony at 6500 (new) I'm still exploring the system. I came from Fuji x-T2. At the beginning the previous system regrets (knowledge, habit?) but you have to learn to love the new one that seems to me to be really of excellent quality overall. Beautiful colors and excellent definition. I'm an amateur and, therefore, my opinion is entirely personal. |

 | sent on 26 Febbraio 2019 Pros: Weight, size balanced on a 6500, colours, focal length excursion (equal to 24 105) build quality, Zeiss lenses, Cons: The price a bit exaggerated but Zeiss is Zeiss Opinion: It goes around with a 24 105 equivalent from the weight and footprint contained. Well balanced on Alpha 6500, makes it stable to those who have a little big hands, you go around doing almost everything with weights and clutter content compared to Nikon D 7200 \\d 7500 + 16 80 There is no comparison you put in a fanny pack and go. Beautiful colors taken by chance without even wanting it with Alpha 6500 used at a ridiculous price I must admit it is a really nice coupled recommended. |
 | sent on 22 Febbraio 2019 Pros: Build quality, weight and bulk, overall yield, F4 constant Cons: Price of the new Opinion: Found used, I use it for a couple of months for my travels, I have to say I was really satisfied. Decidedly good build quality, excellent color rendition, F4 constant, the AF responds well, excellent range of focal, photographers from landscapes to some portrait with a discrete blurred and is not cumbersome, I do not understand who complains about the size, is still a Zoom with 16-70 focal, not a 20mm pancake. I think it's the best handyman in circulation for APS-C, the only flaw in the price of the new, really altino. |
 | sent on 25 Gennaio 2018 Pros: Excellent build quality and optics Cons: Price of the new impractical, elongation Opinion: Taken used at an acceptable price, new is not feasible, to have a standard objective to be mounted on A6000.rnThe jump from 16-50 of the kit is noticeable, do not yell at the miracle but get some pictures worthy of being printed and published. The zoom is mechanical and not electric so it remains fixed even if you turn off the machine (very useful if you have the camera on the stand waiting to shoot), the ferrules are well sized and fluid at the right point.rnThe equipment includes a hood with a graft serious and a cap already less performante.rnFa have on condition to find it at an acceptable price.rnThe fall of quality at the edges is irrelevant in normal use. |
  | sent on 02 Gennaio 2018 Pros: Lightweight, compact to be an F 4, saturated and very realistic colors. Cons: Price of the new too high Opinion: I bought this lens to replace the 16-50 supplied with the nex6 and I am fully satisfied, even if the 16-50 did not go as badly as they say.rnWe say the zeiss is something else that compensates the price difference from the 16-50, is well balanced with my nex 6 and favors a better grip, rnregala superb and real colors, sharpness for a zoom of 16-70 and more than good, I say this after possessing the Nikon 16-85 that was not bad but the zeiss is another story that should be discovered hand, hand that you learn to use it.rnFor the price just buy a good used, as many people criticize this lens, it remains easy to find on the used market .rn Regarding the comparisons that some make on the internet, leave them to the genes of photography that continually rage on the web with opinions that have nothing to do with real photography. |
 | sent on 26 Luglio 2017 Pros: Versatility, constant openness. Cons: Price, build quality, aberration and fall at the edges. Opinion: I use it on a6000 for a couple of months, chosen as most users more for lack of alternatives than for the desire to have it. Taken also used, the price still remains high. The build quality has left me a little puzzled: the dials are not regular and flow little fluid, the painting is very delicate, it is easily marked (hiking use) and is not tropicalized. I do not express myself on whether it is a real Zeiss or not as I have never tried others but I do not think that the average quality of this brand is this. The image yield is good on all the millimeters and at all openings, I did not notice such sharp drops at the edges, at 16mm f4 the thing is a little more noticeable. In short, it is a good zoom all-rounder, the main problem of this lens is the price that does not fully digest its all in all discrete qualities. Optical rating: 7 Rating assigned q/p: 7. Update to two years of use: I confirm about everything reported at the beginning but evaluating better and more thoroughly the optics, the fall at the edges is present as well as an obvious chromatic aberration. Down the optics vote to 7. |
 | sent on 06 Febbraio 2017 Pros: Versatility, build quality, size and weight, overall yield Cons: high price, sharpness at the edges Opinion: It is a versatile zoom, make saturated colors, holds well against the light, it weighs little, perfectly favors the autofocus mirrorless Sony and has an excellent yield in the middle. The sides falls? Well, patience, "not only sharpness at the edges live optics". rnih conclusion I would say that for daily use, travel, documentary, is an excellent zoom, but it is not suitable to replace fixed perspective in fine-art prints. |
 | sent on 12 Dicembre 2016 Pros: Lightweight, compact, well constructed, great design, stabilized Cons: Highly priced, lack of physical AF off and stabilizer off, manual focus ring does not mechanically move the optics, drop in extreme angles with infinite maf to the minimum a and maximum focal length Opinion: Used on A6000 by 24Mp. Meanwhile, let's just say one thing: it's the only zoom of this "serious" focus on the market with attack E, and seriously I can use it for all focuses and all the diaphragms. The sharpness is good in the center even at 16mm, less in corners with infinite maf. At intermediate focal points, the situation improves, and then returns to 70mm. It feels better at short distances at all focal lengths, very good at short distances, especially in portraits where a blur soft enough allows great shots. I have the feeling that 24 Mpx on an aps-c would crunch any zoom. However, everything can be solved in post, where you get good results with some MDC work. On the A6000, thanks to its lightness and compact size, it integrates very well. Being branded Zeiss T * would expect an excellent anti-loop treatment, and I must say that it is functional. The use in af is good, responsive and silent, unfortunately we can not say the same as in manual focus. The ring has no referenceEntities, it does not move the optical array and is difficult to use unless it has already been focused in af and then put into the machine manual because it sends the OFF AF physical button. In short, to use always and only in af. Not even the stabilizer, which empirically gave me the impression of earning up to 3 stops, can be excluded from the optics but needs to get uncomfortable in the a6000 menu. The hood is comfortable and quick to mount, less the cap that is difficult to remove-put. 55 Unusual Filter Attachment. Low price for a Zeiss optic, in fact of this brand I would say it has only the badge, while it is very Sony in its approach and in the average performance. In conclusion this is the best zoom with sony E attack, but certainly not the one with the best value for money. Nb .. corrected some considerations, June 2017 |
 | sent on 15 Novembre 2016 Pros: Lightweight, compact, crisp, great range of focal, auto-focus and stabilization Cons: Price Opinion: I bought this lens (used) for about six months and I'm very happy because it is a great all-rounder (perhaps the best for Sony E-Mount APSC) Quality ... just what I wanted! Rnal feel a sense of strength does not indifferent, very nice hood petalo.rnQuanto for performance I can say that is a clear lens (if I have the chance I prefer not to go below the f5.6) at all focal lengths, for me to be the best at f8 and f11 paesaggi.rnValidissimi for the 'autofocus and stabilization sore OSS.rnL'unica this goal for me is the price too high from both new that used and almost unused in low light conditions .... being a f4 you forces, or to raise both the iso or rely on flash ... rnNon know if recommending it because of the high price, however, I think you deserve a nice 8 ... |
 | sent on 02 Novembre 2016 Pros: light Cons: of Zeiss has only the blue stamp, slightly crisp, expensive for the quality that has, Opinion: call zeiss it takes a lot of courage! for the quality that should cost half of the half, I use it on a sonya6000 and between the machine and the lens does not know who the worst, compared with photos taken with a Canon D10 and 16-35 f 2.8 Lusm wins the canon great, I'm talking about a 16 year old car does! rnspero in sony will understand they have to do one zeiss dedicated to APSC as the a600 with 2,8f opening and with quality lenses, so even a little 'longer heavy but quality if no photos are disgusting! best to use a RX100 iii that falls short of very little, as the quality of prints, the a6000 with Zeiss 16-70mm however you put it in your pocket !!!! rnio if I were you expect to come out something new on the market! Save! |
 | sent on 12 Gennaio 2016 Pros: Lightweight, well-built mechanically, well rub the soft ferrules without jamming, compact and excellent optical performance in the center. Cons: Edges a bit 'soft and they say a little' dear, I still have purchased new about € 680. Opinion: A goal which I have been slow to buy, because a review not exactly flattering read in internet, remarked that too negatively the few faults that if they did. Now the 80% use cases and never leave home because your excursion covers most of the situations. I use it with Sony NEX7 and satisfies me completely with excellent results from f5.6 to f11, 16mm and 70mm wide angle is a creative even an average right canvas for reportage and street. I go often combining the Sony 55-210mm that I keep finding myself mounted on Sony in 6000, with the two bodies, the hiked focal 24mm up to 315mm with a total weight of about 1.5 kg, and no need to make engagement and disengagement with risk of dirtying the sensors. That dire..consigliato !! |
 | sent on 27 Luglio 2015 Pros: Compact, lightweight and very good quality (although not perfect, but it is a zoom ...) Cons: A little 'pricey ... Opinion: Superb lens lightweight, compact and very versatile. Covers the entire range of focal lengths that usually use (allowing me to make the change perspective, the minimum possible !!!), with a quality quite good; It is excellent in the middle, a little 'less than the edges, but doing almost exclusively landscape this is not a problem (I use it between f / 8 and f / 11). The AF is really very veloce.rn |
  | sent on 12 Febbraio 2015 Pros: Compact and lightweight, fast and silent AF, sharp in the center, f / 4 constant Cons: corners slightly crisp, fairly high price Opinion: The Sony 16-70 f / 4 is exceptionally compact and lightweight (only 300 grams!), And offers an excellent range of focal coupled to the diaphragm constant f / 4. The AF is very fast and totally silent; image stabilization is a big help in handheld shooting. The image quality at the center of the frame is excellent for any aperture and focal length, while the corners are quite soft wide open at the 16 and 70mm focal lengths; improve the focal intermediate and, at all focal lengths, you can get an acceptable sharpness in the corners, closing to f / 11, the diaphragm I use the most in landscape photography. Overall, a good goal, but not perfect. |
 | sent on 16 Gennaio 2015 Pros: Very versatile, crisp, perfect for the street Cons: Recently purchased, for now I do not see obvious defects Opinion: I took a few days, coupled with Sony A6000. I thought about it a bit 'before you buy it, is not that cost very little. I took it for fascination (the brand Zeiss intrigues always) but also for exclusion: zoom ordinance, the 16-50, did not convince me at all. I already have a full frame Nikon kit, but I wanted a lightweight instrumentation, barely visible to the street. A Leica of the poor, in fact. So no interchangeable lenses (for now), but a single lens handyman: in this sense, the 16-70 is very reliable, covering a range of 24-100mm (thinking in terms of full frame) with which you can do everything. And 'f4, not very bright, but in return is a fixed-f4. In Nikon full frame, the optical f4 gave an excellent account of themselves. Optics sharp, especially in the center. The edges you notice a slight decline, but absolutely acceptable. |
