Is the sony e 16mm f 2 8 worth buying used?

Yes, I'd happily buy this one used. It's a small APS-C pancake prime from the NEX era, and lenses like this hold up well, so a secondhand copy is a sensible way to save money. I can't tell you current prices from here, so compare listings yourself. Check the glass for scratches and the focus and aperture action before you pay.

It's a good match for APS-C bodies, where it frames like a 24mm on full frame. The Sony a6000 and Sony a6400 are both easy pairings. It also fits many full-frame Sony E bodies, but there it works in APS-C crop mode, so you give up resolution.

For more on secondhand gear, see buying used. The lens page has the full list of bodies it fits: Sony E 16mm f/2.8.
