Description
The Sony E PZ 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS Lens is a compact, lightweight zoom designed specifically for Sony's APS-C E-mount mirrorless cameras. Offering a versatile 24-75mm equivalent focal range, it’s perfect for wide-angle landscapes, tight portraits, and general everyday shooting. Its retractable design keeps your camera setup sleek and easy to carry, making it an excellent travel companion.
Optically, this lens is engineered for clarity and quality. One extra-low dispersion (ED) element reduces color fringing and chromatic aberrations, while four aspherical elements minimize distortion and maintain sharpness across the frame. A rounded seven-blade diaphragm provides smooth, attractive bokeh when working with shallow depth of field. The built-in Power Zoom mechanism offers smooth, controlled zooming via an on-lens switch or compatible camera body controls—ideal for video use.
Optical SteadyShot image stabilization reduces blur from hand shake, especially in low-light conditions or at longer focal lengths. Combined with internal focusing and a close minimum focus distance of just 9.8", this lens ensures fast autofocus performance and close-up versatility in a small, easy-to-use package.

A nifty little lens APS-C
Not the sharpest lens I have but very effective and flexible for video and the odd stills.

Broke within the first week
Broke within the first week. I went to Alaska right after purchasing it and the power zoom stopped working on the 4th day I was in Alaska. This made the camera unable to recognize the lense thus making the lense inoperable and useless. Thankfully I bought the other 55-200 lense and was able to use that, but that drastically limited the type of shots I was able to take. I purchased an extra warranty and customer service refuses to respond to my emails. It took. Beautiful images before it broke though.

Goes Everywhere!
Took this puppy on an AC7 all over Tahiti and other Leeward Islands of the Society Islands. Great to street photography ... no one notices where you point your camera. And for the wide open scenes, such as surfing, shooting a pano and stitching it up yields amazing resulting. Not the fastest or sharpest, but makes up for it and more in convenience.

great features
I purchased the Sony ZV-E10 a few months ago, and so far, I feel it's quite good, whether for taking photos or shooting videos, but the battery capacity is indeed too small.

Good lens
The lens is nice. It has a zoom feature on it that works great with taking video. The lens performance in low light is not good.

Can’t fault this lens
I bought the 16-50 lens as a kit with the a6400 camera. I have set the camera to use digital zoom on top of the lens zoom and it’s pretty pleasing the results. I have more to learn but I can’t find and faults.

User friendly lense
Bought this with my Sony a6400. It does a job but the quality is ok. Considering it’s the kit lense I think it could offer better value/quality. It’s small and compact works well in that way but a little better image quality would be a mice touch to the package.

Great little lens
The E PZ 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSS kit lens that came with the camera does not get the best review but as seen in the architectural photos it does a very good job with a little care when taking the photo. Overall I'm really happy with this little lens and will be sticking with it for hopefully many years to come.

Noise in videos
Its a good lens for both pictures and videos but when it comes to video recording you can hear the noise when zooming in/out (atleast for me on the sony a6400 without external microphone because currently i dont have an external microphone)

An under rated lens that punches above it's weight
I bought this lens with the A6000 camera body at a very competitive price, along side the obviously more expensive Sony SELP18105G f4 fixed aperture lens. I like the super-compact proportions of the lens which allow the camera+lens to be stashed in a very small camera bag [at an exceptionally low carry weight] and cover all-the-bases for everyday use. It's a great add-on to the A6000 camera body without the bulk of the 18-105mm lens. There's some chatter from the zoom/focus motor. However, if you can get past that [and combine it with Sony's affordable Lens Correction App] it's an all round winner....!

Hi JohnnoLM756, Thank you for your review. We're glad to hear that you're enjoying your lens, and hope you continue to enjoy it for years to come. We're delighted to keep you as one of our loyal Sony family members. Regarding the lens chatter, if it's only happening when the lens is not attached to a camera, or if the camera is turned OFF, please note that this is not a fault, and will not affect the lens performance: https://bit.ly/3zojYga.
