Fabulous! My original lens dropped and was stuck in zoom mode, so I had to find a reasonably priced replacement that wouldn't break the bank. This did the job! I ordered a few days before leaving on a trip and it arrived safely and on-time. Everything is still working perfectly.

Sony E 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS PZ (SEL-1650) - Review / Test Report
The Sony E 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS PZ is a pancake zoom lens for the Sony NEX system (E-mount). It is an extremely small lens especially considering its highly interesting focal length range. That said, this is only part of the story. The lens is only small in "transport mode".

poor quality but compact
Got this as my first zoom lens for my sony camera. I only have prime lenses and I needed a zoom lens. Went on vacation in orlando and just took a ton of pictures at my son graduation. Compared to the prime lenses the quality on this one is pretty much disappointing and horrible. Lens is clean.

Measuring just 3/16" (29.9mm) when fully retracted, this SELP-1650 retractable zoom lens is super compact and easy to carry so you can quickly whip out your camera and spontaneously grab shots as they occur.

Three Years of experience with this lens.
I know this is not a perfect lens. It was never designed to be perfect or even excellent. But, it is my go-to lens. I keep coming back to it. If you have realistic expectations, this is a good everyday lens. Very useful zoom range. I tend to use it as a 18 to 48mm lens to avoid the extremes.

Same as original
the original A6000 lens broke. This replaced it perfectly.

Sony E 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 PZ OSS SELP1650
At the end of the day for me it comes down to image quality or output from the camera/lens combo. There is no easy way to say this but Sony is ripping people off with this lens and I find it very discouraging that a company such as this has the gaul to create outstanding camera bodies and then puts...
Pros:
- Light
- almost userful macro
- neat finish
- very good OSS
Cons:
- Image quality

Great compact lens, but quality varies.
I got this lens with my Sony NEX 6 as a kit lens. As such, I did not pay over ￡240 for it. I knew that this lens has been designed for smallest size possible, and as such I did expect the quality to be compromised in favor of size. Despite that, I wan't initially too happy with it.

Surprisingly sharp, very light
The reviews that go on about this being soft are really nit picking. I have so far found this to be very sharp. It also focuses really quite close up, much closer that I was expecting. Not macro, but perfectly good enough for flower close ups. The best feature is the variable zoom speed.

Best e mount lens in this price
I was looking for an e mount lens. This is the best one that you could buy on this price. Not excellent, but good and acceptable quality in low light.
