Sony SAL-1680Z Carl Zeiss® Vario-Sonnar T* DT 16-80mm f/3.5-4.5 - zoom objektiivi

Bought this lens a few weeks ago and weather has been pretty bad so only used a couple of times. Seems a lovely sharp and true colour lens so look forward to getting out and finding a bluebell wood to practice on.

The lens is far superior in sharpness throughout the range than the kit lens that came with my camera.

This is the bestperforming lens I have ever owned. Chromatic aberration is minimal over the useful zoom range. Would have given it 5 stars (and more) if it had a barrel lock to stop the zoom extending whilst not using the lens. A serious omission Sony - why, oh why!!!

Excellent resolution, but unacceptable vignetting at 16mm f3.5. Images at all apertures display noticeable reduction in corner exposure. Although this can be reduced in image processing software, it should not be present in a lens of this quality.
