At the wide end you have a 16mm focal length that is ideal for interiors, sweeping landscapes, or creating visual impact with powerful perspective. Zoom out to the 50mm end for mid-range telephoto reach that can bring details and distant subjects closer. What's more, you have a constant F2.8 maximum aperture throughout the entire zoom range. That makes shooting in low light easy, especially when the lens is used with a body that includes SteadyShot INSIDE™ body-integrated image stabilization. A large maximum aperture also provides plenty of margin to stop down for increased depth of field or to freeze fast motion. The SAL1650 additionally features a circular aperture that, combined with the F2.8 maximum aperture, contributes to beautiful defocusing effects. • Weight (approx): 577 g • Dimensions (Dia.

The 16-105mm range of this lens is a "sweet spot" for many photographers, wide enough at the 16mm end to capture indoor scenes and long enough at 105mm to fill the frame with relatively distant subjects. Comfortable handling is another plus, facilitated by a compact, lightweight design and an autoclutch mechanism that prevents focus ring rotation during autofocus operation, so you can comfortably cradle the lens in your hand while shooting. Of course comfort isn't everything. A precision optical design delivers superb image quality throughout the entire zoom range. • Weight (approx): 470 g • Dimensions (Dia. x L): 72 x 83 mm • Max. magnification ratio: 0.23x 21
