My Favorite Walk Around Zoom Lens!
I read a lot of positive reviews before I bought this lens and now I know why! This lens works flawlessly with my Sony A77 II. It's so quiet I have to listen to make sure it's focusing. Talk about fast! It focuses extremely fast and accurate! Even at f/2.8, the images are sharp! Whatever Sony did to match this lens to the A77 II, it definitely works. I really have no cons to talk about here. The build quality is very good and feels solid. This should have been a "G" lens. The range is perfect for a walk around lens and it has become the one I use the most. The wide end is great for landscapes and the telephoto end is perfect for pets and portraits. It works good in low light with a 2.8 maximum aperture. It also lets you focus close to a subject. This is great for flower photography etc. If you have a crop sensor camera, I definitely recommend this lens! It's a "must have"! This is my #1 favorite lens!

Very good lens
I have owned this lens (purchased used from ebay) for several months and its been on my camera more or less steadily ever since I bought it. It is a a fairly heavy lens (1.25 lb. 670 g) but not bothersomely so. It is solidly built, has a very fast and silent focus drive and the pictures are generally very sharp, with the exception of a little drop-off in the corners when shooting wide-open. There is a little distortion (minimal if you keep the camera horizontal while shooting) at the 16 mm range. There is no creep in the zoom at all. It takes very good close-ups (flowers, bugs, etc) with excellent colors. The f2.8 setting allows in enough light to take many indoor pictures without additional lighting. I believe I paid $300 for this lens and I consider it to be well worth it. Overall I would rate it a 4.5/5

great focal range for aps-c sensor camera
I am still determining the best focal length of this lens, but so far I like it a lot. The SSM autofocus rocks! Immediate and silent! Like most lenses mounted on good cameras, good light on the subject is imperative for good image quality. Not quite G series quality but better than average. So, yes, I can recommend it without hesitation. Good work Sony :+)

Sony SAL1650, F2.8, a versatile and sturdy everyday performer.
Excellent lens, constant aperture of 2.8 makes it good for low light as well as portrait photography. An effective focal length of 24-75mm in APS format makes it a go to lens for everyday use. Build quality is very good, autofocus is silent and quick. I am happy that I have this lens.

must have lens
If you're planning to do any indoor or low light shooting, you really need a fast lens. The 2.8f stop does it for me, and because it's a 16-50mm, it translates into a very usable indoor lens. Unfortunately, the weak point of Sony, is that they lack the availability of lens that major manufacturers like Canon has. However, this lens makes up for a lot of that, in the wide zoom category.

This one is a keeper!
This lens is very sharp and silent when it comes to focusing. It is weather sealed and the build quality is great. Expect the zooming a little bit tight, probably because of the weather sealing. Once you put it on your dslr, it will be there for a long time since this is a great lens for walk around. Overall, I love this lens from rear cap to lens hood.

Great lens
This has become my everyday lens. It consistently produces sharp images. What can I say this is a great lens I would recommend to anyone. The Tamron 17-50mm 2.8 is a good lens that I used before. This lens is definitely a step up. You'll pay more but it is worth it.

Great Kit Lens For Sony Alpha A77 II
This lens is a great kit lens for the Alpha A77 M II. The colors are vibrant and the images are very sharp! Also, a great lens for low lighting as well. Highly recommended for portraits and landscape photography.

Totally awesome Lens.
This is my Carry around lens 80% of the time! Most of the pictures we take are of family and friend at parties and events. This is the best lens I own for all of these events. I only change when I need more zoom at outdoor games and parties.

Blurred
When I got the lens I had a problem with the sharpness or focusing of the Len. It just wouIded focus to a sharp focus. So I played with the lens adjustment in the camera menu and got the lens to focus a lot better but in some situations it's still not as sharp as I would prefer.
