It pay to look, before you over pay somewhere else, thanks to E-bay!
I bought the Sony a5100 body no lens. I wanted a compact zoom lens just so happen on was for sell used but never used. I took the camera on vacation to Vegas. the lens performed great in low light and bright light, very sharp clean prints I saved about 200 getting it from E-bay

New Sony E PZ 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS Lens review
This lens is an AMAZING pancake lens on NEX. The size always brings imaging compromise, but the cameras (once getting upgraded firmware) do a great job fixing the JPEGs. This lens hits another level of performance with A6000's advanced autofocus. It again needs firmware update, for older lenses.
Pros:
- Pancake-ish when closed, better than 18-55 kit (with correction), fast focus with some cameras
Cons:
- Takes a little time to '
- fold out'
- at startup, corrections are important @ 16mm

Sony 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 PZ OSS lens
Most people will acquire this lens with one of Sony's E-mount cameras and, as a kit lens it covers a useful range of focal lengths and performs reasonably well. The power zoom and image stabilisation are handy for video shooting and the AF motor is quiet enough to produce minimal interference in...

Got 2 versions 1 silver 1 black SELP1650
I tried both lens on both the NEX-5N and my NEX-5R and it works, but the quality control will be an issue, the silver one was not as sharp nor is the OSS working properly with either camera.
Pros:
- Compact
- auto zoom
Cons:
- 40.5mm filter size (not normal Sony filter size)
- no hood
- quality control issue

personally i got this to replace the 18-55mm kit lens which came with my 5N, but i quickly switched backreasons why its good: -small size-similar image quality-still maintains OSSreasons why i did NOT like it: -the zoom ring direction is REVERSED!!
Pros:
- Similar Image Quality
- Small and light
- Wider By 2mm
Cons:

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.

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.

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

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.
