If you actually knew Sony's design philosophy for the 16-50mm, you wouldn't have been surprised. The lens is as small as it is because Sony opted for this design with the understanding that such a philosophy comes at a cost, namely corner sharpness and distortion. They realized that most people using this lens would be more inclined to use jpeg and that they could automatically address distortion with in camera software without the shooter even knowing that this was a problem. In essence, Sony correctly assumed that most people who use this lens would be more apt to appreciate its compact size and electronic zoom, while ignoring its shortcomings. The lens expertly does what it was intended to do. It is a small and compact lens with acceptable center sharpness wide open and decent sharpness when stopped down. It is not intended for critical photography or paid work. If you understand its limitations, you can obtain some very compelling images with this lens. This lens transforms any A6000 series camera into a small and very capable travel camera. Most people who use this lens won't even exploit its full potential.

Using the center portion of a full frame lens is actually good, because there is usually more distortions and lack of focus around the edges, and no you are not giving up any "lines of resolution" you are still using the entire APS-C sensor to capture the image.
@superbmediacontentcreator9 ай бұрын
This was a terrific review. I went this way in both the older lens mentioned and in this one (28:70) for my a6500 and your review sort of confirmed my selections. I really do not like the Minolta lenses (as a Nikon & Hasselblad person) and never have for numerous reasons but the results and electronics of the native brand stuff seem to work better for AF and some other functions than using my adapted Nikkor lenses on my Minolta/Sony cameras. A few have laughed at my use of the older 18:55 (silver) but the results speak for themselves, especially for the factors you pointed out. I just wish that there were an AF/Manual switch on the Sony lens line as most other manufacturers have engineered since in many cases the AF hunts and it is just easier to focus manually.

Pity there is no sharpness comparison with the 16-50 set to 28mm - because that is one of its stronger zoom settings.
@joshuafeldman61856 жыл бұрын
Great work on this comparison video. The "lost lines of resolution" story when you use an FE lens on a aps cropped sensor is a misleading oversimplification, people. Using less of the area of the lens is a dual edge sword, but has potential benefits for the cropped sensor camera and they are apparent here. By using the central "heart" of the lens, edge distortion is greatly reduced. If you were simply cropping out the center of two identical lenses you'd expect the cropped one to be less sharp, because minute imperfections in the lens would be magnified in the cropped sensor image. But full frame lenses are larger (and heavier) and have more glass - so they aren't equal. The FE glass can have real benefits for the aps-c shooter, but with that penalty of size and weight. Thanks for showing this so clearly in the video.

I have the 28-70 kit lens and use it both on my Sony a6000 and a7ii. It's very good on the 6000 and even better on the full frame camera. I have had several sharp pictures from this lens. I have also taken some good portrait shots with it. No it's not as sharp as my 85mm 1.8, but still an excellent over all lens.

This video was extremely helpful and makes me think the 28-70 gets some undeserved hate. Other than being a small zoom range it seems great for the money! My only critique on this video is that for people using this lens on an APSC body, you didn't mention that it would be darker than the 16-50. Yes, they are both rated at f3.5-5.6, but the 28-70 is sized for a full frame camera and is projecting light onto a 35mm sensor size. Technically that light is going into your camera, but because APSC sensors are smaller, some light will be hitting the area around the sensor and not the sensor itself, meaning shots taken on the 28-70 will look a stop or two darker than the same shot on the 16-50. I hope that makes sense, its a complicated mechanic to try to describe. If you want sharpness, go 28-70. If you want brightness, go 16-50.

@dsl4n Жыл бұрын
But f stops are calculated based on focal length and the size of the aperture blades. So in theory, they should have about the same amount of light hitting an APS-C sized sensor. (But the 28-70 does have more glass in it therefore, a bit more light will be lost.)
@dsl4n Жыл бұрын
Both of them are f3.5-5.6, but on an APS-C sized sensor, some light won't be captured due to the 1.5x crop factor, so the equivalent amount of light on a full frame sensor will both be f5.2-8.3

Absolutely. It's a bit long for street. But that 24-70 is huge and expensive. I was thinking about a portrait (people) zoom. The 28 is ~the sensor diagonal so its normal for full length shots without distortion, the 75 gets you ~110, so its good for tight head shots. Also, with the close focusing of a FF lens on the cropped sensor, you can do a lot of detail shots. Nobody makes a reasonable people zoom for the crop sensors.

I was thinking that I could work toward a 24-105 f.4 or the the new Tamron 28-75 2.8 as a later purchase to have an all purpose zoom.

Street Ninja TV I’ve used the 28-70 on my A7 III and it’s amazing. Especially considering how light and small it is (for a full frame lens anyway). It’s sharp, and has nice rendering and colors.

Question: I am looking at purchasing the a6000. I am going to Germany at the end of the month and am wondering if you would still choose the 35 mm 1.8 lens you took on your Europe trip? If not, which lens would you take if you went to Europe again? Your videos have helped me so much regarding which camera to buy. Thanks! :-)

I personally would still pick the Sony 35mm again. But you have to be willing to step back and know how to use it. If you are looking for an easy lens to shoot in almost any situation, the Sigma 16mm is a good option.

Ok Thanks! Do you think the sigma not having image stabilization is a problem for taking pictures? I do not do a lot of videos.

No, for pictures its not a huge deal, and the lens is wide, so you dont need stabilization as much anyway.

I use the 28-70mm lens for family and for dog adoption photos with my A6500... I like the 28mm side because on a crop camera that equates to about 42mm and will not result in the distortion that a wider angle will produce. The rather slow variable aperture is no problem for me because I am usually shooting these type of shots with bounce flash. The form factor is quite nice foe a 42-105mm equivalent lens and the price is certainly great. This is the only zoom lens I have for the 6500. All the rest of my lenses are primes...

Not really and apples to apples comparison since you are only using the inner part of the Full Frame lens, which you touch on. I wouldn't look at it like losing lines of of resolution, but quite contrary, pics are bound to be better because lenses usually fall apart in the corners. When using FF lens on crop sensor, you are basically cropping off the "bad corners" of the lens. Not sure if that makes sense (of if that even a correct way to view it), but thats how i look at it. Would be curious to see how they compare with FF kit on FF camera vs 16-50 kit on the a6500. That would be more apples to apples on the quality of the lenses as a whole.

The effect of using the center of the lens vs losing lines of resolution is a wash. If you take a look at my 28mm (full frame) vs Sony 35mm comparison you will see that in that the 35mm was the sharper lens, so your theory isnt always necessarily true. The difference in sensors is huge to where a full frame vs APSC comparison wouldnt be valid. The A7III for example, is sharper with the kit lens than any of my best lenses on the A6500. (sad but true)

this would make more sense to compare it on A7 vs 16-50 on A6000, but anyway quite interesting
