Pros and cons

According to our camera lens expert

  • With the wide viewing angle, you can photograph wide langscapes and high buildings.
  • The image stabilization in the lens reduces motion blur, so you capture sharp images.
  • Thanks to the short focal distance of 19cm, you can take close-up photos of your subject.
  • When you zoom in, the lens gets less light-sensitive thanks to the variable aperture.

Description

With the wide image angle, you can photograph a special mountainous landscape on vacation, for example. The built-in image stabilization reduces motion blur by up to 5 stops.

When you need more than standard wide angle

  • sufficient wide angle
  • acceptable lens distortion
  • solid
  • lens distortion is visible
Beautiful interior photos can be taken. The 16-50mm lens does not have a wide angle for that. If necessary, you can correct the lens distortion in Photoshop (Elements): menu Filter -> correct camera distortion. It was a disappointment that I had to buy this lens. I expected the 16-50mm lens to have a large enough lens, but unfortunately you have to multiply the "16mm" by 1.5 in 3:2 DFX format and then you only have 24mm wide angle, which is no better than standard wide angle. So this 12mm lens also does not score more wide angle than an 18mm standard. But that is just that extra bit of wide angle that you often need.
