Product details
The Sony E PZ 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSS (Black) (SELP1650/B) is a retractable, high-performance lens. This lightweight, retractable mid-range zoom lens is perfect for travel, collapsing down to 29.9 mm. It also features a smooth, silent, and effortless zoom function. APS-C E-Type lenses with α E-Type Sony cameras deliver outstanding performance. The effortless, powerful zoom gives you control when capturing photos or videos. For added convenience, a zoom switch is available on NEX cameras. The lens's optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization ensures clear, shake-free photos and videos during handheld shooting. Instead of a standard polygonal aperture, this lens has a circular 7-blade diaphragm for a more natural, rounded defocus or "background" effect. Aspherical lens elements reduce distortion, and ED (Extra Low Dispersion) glass elements provide better contrast, definition, and color accuracy.

It could hardly be lighter: at 107 grams, the Sony PZ 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSS II weighs barely more than a standard bar of chocolate. Nevertheless, this tiny camera has a lot to offer.
