Sony E 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 PZ OSS

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
