photozone‘s review Edit Like Unlike

The Sony 16-50mm f/2.8 DT SSM doesn't deliver an absolutely flawless job on the NEX 7 but at optimal settings you can achieve very good if not impressive results across the image frame. The center quality is generally superb at mainstream settings and stopped down to f/5.6 the borders and corners are also very fine. At and beyond 35mm you will have to live with a bit of corner softness at max. aperture though. The vignetting is also quite heavy at f/2.8. The amount of lateral CAs is on the high side - specifically at 16mm. The bokeh (quality of the out-of-focus blur) has two souls. Out-of-focus highlights are very nervous but the general blur is comparatively smooth for such a lens. The distortion characteristic is about average.

The Sony 16-50mm ƒ/2.8 DT presents itself as a capable walk-around zoom lens; mated with the newer A65 or A77 bodies, which appear to correct its slight issues with chromatic aberration, the combination works to produce excellent photographs.
