Review: Nice and sharp better then the Sigma 18-50 - As a working photographer and just moving to using the Sony a6700 from my FF Nikon cameras for our portrait jobs I first ordered the Sigma 18-50 2.8. The Sigma is just ok it can be used and I have used it on some jobs but it is no match for all my Nikon z mount lens at all. So I ordered the Sony 16-55 and have used it now on a few jobs. The 16-55 is much better it matches the image quality and sharpness I am use to and can replace using my Nikon Z lens the 24-70 or 24-120 F4 lens we use. The 16-55 at 2.8 gives for the most part the same DOF as a Full frame F4 lens but you still get the advantages of it being 2.8 for shooting in Lower light and that is making a big difference we see all ready keeping the ISO lower as it gets darker out shooting into sunset. I will be keeping the Sigma 18-50 to use as a video use lens its so small and lite for gimbal use. I will be ordering the Tamron 17-70 as well soon as we need a two camera video setup with 2.8 lens so I will test it VS the Sony 16-55 as well. The Sigma louses sharpness on large group photos of people we do all the time like 12 to 30 people the faces dont have as much detail and sharpness but the Sony 16-55 is great for this. The only downside of the Sony 16-55 is the weight I love how lite the Sigma is on the a6700 but the Sony is almost the same weight as using my Nikon Z6 with 24-70 F4 lens only 6 oz different. But it dose give some extra reach over the 24-70.. But the a6700 focus system is so much better then my Nikons it amazing - shooting is so easy and the face and eye tracking is fantastic I am using it all the time now. With my Nikons it is very bad I would never rely on it so I quit using it and shot all single point and single shot. I also like the button on the lens of the Sony. I have it set to image preview so I can press it and see the last shot image fast. Much faster than bending my thumb down to press the button.
Review: Treat Yourself to Great Quality Photos - To be clear, this is a cost prohibitive lens. However, the quality of the photos this lens produces are really good across all zoom lengths and aperture stops. I use this lens on an a-6000 and for years I only used the kit lenses that came with the camera and an additional ultra-wide Rokinon lens. The photos were always good and I was always pleased. But the SEL1655G unlocked the potential of my camera by producing extremely sharp photos with great colors (my camera doesnt have image stabilization so I don't use it for video). Is it worth it? It's certainly cheaper to buy separate fixed length focal lenses but that means carrying lots of lenses with you and switching between them. This lens is a great all-in one that produces photos that stand up to some of the best lenses in the market. Personally, the convenience of taking only one lens with me combined with the extremely high image quality justifies the purchase. If you can afford it... treat yourself!
