## Description

Product Description Compact and lightweight design for excellent portability thanks to retract-ability down to a mere 29.9 mm From the Manufacturer E PZ 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSS Power Zoom LensThis 16-50mm retractable zoom lens is super compact and easy to carry and the ideal lens for traveling and other scenarios that require a lightweight, compact camera and lens combo.TechnologyCircular ApertureWhen changing your aperture to defocus the background, the light sources appear blurred. This ‘bokeh’ effect of the blurred background can be enhanced with circular aperture blades used in this lens. Conventional aperture blades have flat sides creating unappealing polygonal shaped defocussed points of light. α lenses overcome this problem through a unique design that keeps the aperture almost perfectly circular from its wide-open setting to when it is closed by 2 stops. Smoother, more natural defocusing can be obtained as a result.ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glassAs focal lengths get longer, lenses built with conventional optical glass have difficulties with chromatic aberration, and as a result images suffer from lower contrast, lower color quality, and lower resolution. ED glass dramatically reduces chromatic aberration at telephoto ranges, and provides superior contrast across the entire image, even at large aperture settings. Super ED glass provides enhanced compensation for chromatic aberration.Aspherical lens elementsAspherical lens design dramatically reduces spherical aberration while also reducing lens size and weight. Spherical aberration is a slight misalignment of the light rays projected on the image plane. This is caused by differences in refraction at different points on conventional spherical lenses which degrade image quality in large-aperture lenses. Specially shaped “aspherical” elements near the diaphragm restore alignment of light rays at the image plane, maintaining high sharpness and contrast even at maximum aperture and can also be used at other points in the optical path to reduce distortion. Well-designed aspherical elements can reduce the total number of elements required in the lens, thus reducing overall size and weight. Advanced Aspherical (AA) elements are an evolved variant, featuring an extremely high thickness ratio between the center and periphery. AA elements are exceedingly difficult to produce, relying on the most advanced molding technology to consistently and precisely achieve the required shape and surface accuracy, resulting in significantly improved image accuracy and quality.Distance encoderThe distance encoder plays an integral part in ADI flash metering, which delivers high precision flash metering that is unaffected by the reflectance of subjects or backgrounds. The distance encoder is a lens component that directly detects the position of the focusing mechanism, and sends a signal to the CPU in order to measure distance to the subject. During flash photography, this data is very useful in calculating how much flash output is appropriate to the scene.Lens-based optical image stabilizationGyro sensors built into the lens detect even the slightest movement, and the stabilization lens is precisely shifted to counteract any image blur that might occur. The use of precision, quiet linear motors and technology inherited from high-end Sony professional camcorders results in exceptionally quiet, effective image stabilization that contributes to high-quality movies as well as stills.Additional FeaturesInternal focusingOnly the middle groups of the optical system move to achieve focus, so the overall length of the lens does not change. Other important benefits include fast autofocusing and a short minimum focusing distance. Also, the filter thread at the front of the lens does not rotate, which is convenient if you’re using a polarizing filter.SELP1650 not recommended for use with NEX-3, NEX-5, NEX-C3 2012 Sony Electronics Inc.

Review: A great little lens - I tried to use this lens on NEX-7 body and hated it - the vignetting, color fringing, and smeared unsharp corners made it unusable. I gave it along with my old NEX-5N to my daughter and forgot all about it. Then I sold NEX-7 (good riddance, it was truly an awful camera, as I now know!) and got the A7RII. One day I was looking for a small lens to take on a trip with me. My little girl suggested I take this lens. At first I brushed her aside - come on, I am not putting this thing on my precious A7RII! I'll be wasting more than half of that magnificent 42MP sensor, this thing will never live up even to the remaining 18MP, blah, blah, blah... But then I thought, what the heck, listen to the kid, she may have the right idea. She sure did! When I came back from my trip and examined the files, I almost fell off my chair - the images were absolutely superb! Tack sharp across the frame at every aperture, no vignetting, no color fringes, no distortion - just perfect! The color rendition and contrast is fairly close to my Zeiss Contax G 45mm F2.0 Planar. It left my wife's Nikon D3200 with Nikkor 18-140 in the dust. AF is silent and right on every time, the OSS is superb. This lens makes A7RII pocketable and weighs almost nothing. And as my little girl showed me, my sample of this lens works great on NEX-5N as well, definitely better than the original kit 18-55 lens with which that 5N came (make sure to upgrade your 5N firmware to the latest version available before using this lens on it). I could go on, but the bottom line is - for those times you can not or don't want to carry your professional gear, but still want to enjoy your A7RII and 18MP is sufficient for your needs, this is definitely the lens to take with you. Street photography comes to mind, or dusty/wet places where you do not want to change lenses often. It can easily be used for serious work anywhere, and because it is so compact and light, you can carry it in your pocket at all times - I do. It feels great on A7RII body and looks cool also. I wish Sony would bring out something compact and good like this in the 55-200 range.
Review: Family fun lense. - I think this is a great little lense for taking just fun family photos and videos. I purchased this kit lens because my wife could barely hold up the A7RII with the 24-70 G-master. Just too heavy for her to take photos of me and my family. To be honest this lense was a lot of fun the first time out. The photos looked fine for just hanging out with family. Taking 4K video worked out great in Super 35 and enabling digital zoom you get a wide range of zoom. Of course in low light at 5.6 it may not perform as adequate as a 2.8 G-Master or fast prime. But for everyday good lighting situations this is a must have lense to use with the family. I am just a camera enthusiast and not a professional. I think for video this lense could probably be used professionally. It may seem weird to put this lense on an A7RII, but it turns your mirrorless professional camera into a really really high end point and shoot that is small and compact.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great compact lens that needs a bit of extra work on older nex models
*by E***A on January 12, 2013*

This lens fills an important gap in Sony's e mount selection, and is really what makes a nex camera worth the investment. It lives up to expectations and is an excellent lens with some caveats. I got a c3 with the standard 1855 kit lens and soon grew tired of the size and weight of the lens compared to the camera despite the nice metal finish. I also found out that the quality of the lens is really not very good and far below what the camera itself is capable of. When the 1650 became available, I did not hesitate long to get it, and it instantly turned my nex into a truly 'pocket sized DSLR' as I had hoped. The built quality is very nice with black metal exterior and internal metal mount, and a great look that complements the nex design line well. The combined zoom and focus ring works quickly and effectively after a short period of getting used to. Pictures in the 30 to 50 mm range are as sharp as is reasonable to expect - in my view, very sharp and clearly sharper than the 1855 - BUT as others have noted there is an important issue at low focal lengths where barrel distortion and vignetting become extreme. In new nex models, built-in compensation software adjusts automatically in jpeg, but in my c3 this is not the case, so be prepared to adjust in photoshop if you intend to use it on an older nex for wide angle shots. However, it is not difficult to get very good results when compensating for barrel distortion, and there is an automatic correction profile available for download for easy raw conversion in photoshop, which is what I use.
