Both lenses were 16mm on tripod during the test.
First comparison is lenses widest apertures which is F2.8 for Sony 16-50 and F3.5 for Sony 16-105. At this comparison Sony 16-50 seems to have more vignetting and its corner sharpness is one step behind while they seem to be doing same in the center sharpness.
When Sony 16-105 is also stopped down to F3.5, Sony 16-50 seems to be doing better in the center while I still found Sony 16-105 better in corners.
At F5.6, they are almost identical in corners and Sony 16-50 looked more contrasty (hence better) to me in the center. But they are very close.
At F8, their performance is also very close but Sony 16-50 has still just a tad more contrast for my taste.
As for F11, I'd say they are identical. [Review by Sinan Ozturk]
