Summary

The Sony 16mm f/2.8 works on a tripod but handheld footage shows noticeable vibration because it lacks optical image stabilization. He regrets buying it: f/2.8 offers little practical advantage over the stabilized kit lens’ f/3.5, despite being initially tempting. He considers selling through Amazon or a new eBay/PayPal account, but eBay banned him and zero feedback may deter buyers.

Insight

Recurring gear upgrading is followed by regret after practical use exposes overlooked limitations.
