Review on 📷 Sony SELP1650 16-50mm Power Zoom Lens (Silver) - High-Quality Bulk Packaging for Enhanced Photography Experience! by Stanisaw Lipowski ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I like the product very much, fully consistent with my expectations.

Good lens. For a mirrorless camera, it’s almost perfect whale (oncompeting systems there are only Panasonic H-PS14042 and Samsung S2050NB, but the first is too expensive, and the second is plastic and without a stabilizer). Photos from it and other lenses on the NEX-6 can be viewed here: In the tags, I noted which lens I shot with.

Pros
  • Compact. Not much protrudes beyond the palm rest. With it, a mirrorless camera is comparable in size to a medium-sized soap dish. Stabilized. Helps when shooting in bad conditions. Cutting. Although under certain circumstances it can be written down as a minus, but fans of pixel hunting will like it. Comes with NEX-6, NEX-3N and NEX-5R (the latter has RL and RY trim levels). Outwardly, it looks great and the metal case pleases to the touch.
Cons
  • Fully mechanized. The focus ring is not very convenient to work due to delays. Focal changes rather slowly. At a wide angle, there are noticeable distortions that the camera itself corrects if it "knows" the lens. The first generations of NEX (3, 5, C3), as far as I know, did not receive a firmware ate: they will have to edit the raw ones. With it, the camera starts for a long time: about 2 s (until the pipe crawls out). In terms of aperture, nothing outstanding, but no failures either. Here is the gradation of the maximum aperture by focal length: 16-18mm-F3.5, 19-23mm-F4, 24-29mm-F4.5, 30-35mm-F5, 36-50mm-F5.6. Focal 50mm on crop 1.5 is not enough. Often not enough. Solution: either crop the picture on the computer, or hold the second lens (SEL55210).

Got pros: Great lens that comes with the kit. As a general purpose lens it is very good. Very compact. With its cons: Dark, but this is a whale zoom. Can't get used to digital zoom. Not for portraiture. No bokeh.
