An ideal everyday tool, the DT 16-105mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens from Sony is a relatively compact APS-C format option that covers a vast wide-angle to telephoto range equivalent to 24-157.5mm. This A-mount lens features a maximum aperture of f/3.5-5.6, helping to keep size and weight to a minimum, and the optical design incorporates one extra-low dispersion element and two aspherical elements to combat aberrations and increase sharpness and contrast. Also, it has an auto clutch mechanism that prevents the focusing ring from rotating when autofocus is engaged while an internal focus design enables fast, responsive AF. Additionally, it uses a seven-blade circular diaphragm for smooth bokeh.
