The Sony FE 16mm f/1.8 G is a light-sensitive wide-angle lens. With the 16mm focal length, you can use the lens for all different kinds of wide-angle photography. You can take photos of architecture, landscapes, and interiors, for example. The lens has a large maximum aperture of f/1.8, so the lens catches lots of light. This way, you can make clear photos even in low light. You can also create a soft background blur in your photos with this large aperture. Thanks to the silent autofocus motor, the lens doesn't make noise when you're focusing. This is useful when recording videos with this lens. You won't hear unwanted noise in the background of your video that way.
