Review on Sony SELP1650 16 50Mm Power Zoom by Candra ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not a bad product, but you can do better.

I installed it on the NEX-7 (firmware is new 1.01, where the image quality for wide-angle lenses has been improved). I was surprised: a wider viewing angle compared to the NEX-6 and a large barrel-shaped distortion, which the NEX-7 more or less successfully corrects in jpeg. Disappointing: darkening in the corners at the minimum focal length. I hope the Japanese engineers will not delay fixing this flaw and will release a new firmware for the seven, although . (they were in no hurry with the first ate on the NEX-7).

Pros
  • compact, sharp, well adapted to NEX-6
Cons
  • the aperture is not so hot, when installed on the NEX-7 it does not work correctly at a wide angle
