   First and foremost, the 16-80mm’s MTF curves have a textbook appearance. Maximum resolution is in excess of 0.3 cycles per pixel from wide-open to f/11 at all focal lengths and the fall-off at smaller apertures is nicely progressive. Any resolution performance above 0.25 cycles per pixel indicates a well-mannered lens and it is clear that the Vario-Sonnar exceeds such expectations. Lue Lisää Translate to suomi

   • Solid feel and the promise of Zeiss performance
   • Maximum aperture could be a little greater

   The Sony DT 16-80mm promises to be the perfect general-purpose zoom for discerning Alpha DSLR owners. With an equivalent range of 24-120mm it zooms both wider and longer than the standard kit lens, and with the pedigree of respected lens company Carl Zeiss behind it, the DT 16-80mm should have few concerns in the quality department. In use the DT 16-80mm can certainly deliver excellent results. Lue Lisää Translate to suomi

   • Flexible general purpose range., High contrast and very sharp results., Relatively small and light., Squeezes best from the Alpha system.
   • Build quality not a big upgrade over kit lenses., AF noise and speed similar to kit lenses., Manual focus ring not very smooth., Macro no better than kit lens.

   Originally posted 2007-12-05 on Optyczne.pl When the Sony Alfa 100 reflex camera was put on the market, an announcement was made that a new lens, the Carl Zeiss Vario Sonnar T* DT 16-80 mm f/3.5-4.5, would be produced soon and it would be a good substitute for the kit lens, prepared to cooperate with APS-C/DX sensors reflex cameras.

   When the Sony Alpha 100, our 2006 Camera of the Year, debuted last year, the only optics available for it were cosmetically updated Konica Minolta lenses. At the time, Sony promised a future line of Zeiss-designed glass. This 16- 80mm f/3.5-4.5 ($660, street) -- a vaunted T*, no less -- is the first of the promised line to run the Pop Photo Lab gauntlet. How does it compare with Sony's similar but less expensive 18-70mm f/3.5-5.6 kit zoom ($190, street)? Let's see. Lue Lisää Translate to suomi

   You get what you pay for and what you're willing to carry in terms of weight. The more expensive and heavier lens delivers substantially better image quality. Both lenses are too slow for use indoors in available light, especially given the mediocre performance of Sony digital bodies at high ISO settings. Lue Lisää Translate to suomi

   if you are shooting with a SLT or other Alpha cropped sensor body this is without a question the highest level of performance you will receive out of a lens compatible with the system. From one end to the other it renders a sharp image across the focal plane even wide open. Color and contrast are simply another level. Some question whether this lens warrants the price above the other offerings. Lue Lisää Translate to suomi

   Incredible lens that puts the 18-55 to total shame. Also better than the 16-105 lens which tried for a few months before. This lens is very sharp, no hint of distortion @ 16mm, just a small amount of tiny edge softness @ 80mm. This lens is in the same caliber of 24-70/2.8. Heartily recommend it.

   I am a little above an amateur photographer but I can tell quality when I feel it. This lens is much more solid and weighty than the sony kit lens. I haven't had a lot of opportunity to shoot with it yet but it seems to focus really fast and accurately. The feel of the zoom ring and aperature ring are firm and smooth. I can't wait to get to a zoo and shoot some RAW images and see if this lens is worth what it cost. I think it is thus far and would recommend it to you. Lue Lisää Translate to suomi

   I'm not a camera tech. expert but I enjoy photography - what I seem to hear more and more is that the lens is the important thing more than the camera body. Neither am I the sort of person who can easily detect chromatic aberrations nor comment on the quality of bokeh. What I can say though - is that the lens has helped me enjoy my photography more & more - with sharp pictures and I rarely want to swap lenses. Worth the money. Lue Lisää Translate to suomi

   Useful zoom range. If you only have one lens then this is a good all rounder. Image quality at the wide angle end is excellent, but only average at telephoto. Lue Lisää Translate to suomi

   • comes with a padded case, stylish modern look, very good sharpness at wide angles, zeiss brand image
   • at full zoom the extened lens wobbles a bit, Expensive, sharpness at 80mm only ok
