Cons: electronic MF ring is a pain..like on all similar lenses.
Pros: nice fun lens, descent IQ and fastness for a Kitlens, low cost(if bought as kit) ..its the best lens for sweep-panorama images on the NEX as its the only one that allows up to 270degree turns. also a practical note: the lens has just a very tiny front lens which is harder to accidently catch rain etc. so its basicly the lens i need to clean the least
Summary: a good to have lens, not for everyday use but still usefull. ..recommended - dont really get why people use this place for philosophical statements about the usefullness of the NEX in generall..

Cons: 16mm limited functionality, singular purpose Controls require significant learning curve and owner's manual With a sensible lens, camera is as large a normal DSLR Form over function by design Hype
Pros: Nicely built, Solid Fun Features Excellent photo results when used properly
Summary: Camera purchased to photograph business related objects and locations. 16mm lens produces way too much distortion. With the more practical available lenses, realistically this camera is the same size or larger than a normal sized DSLR camera. By design it is classic form over function marketing fueled by hype. Slap your face a couple of times to clear your mind before purchasing this camera without considering your other choices.
