Review on Sony SELP1650 16 50Mm Power Zoom by Seo Jun ᠌

The only good thing about this lens is that the camera can easily fit even in a jacket pocket without removing it. For the rest. I don't know what motivated Sony to attach such a disgusting lens to not-so-cheap cameras that is only suitable for throwing it in the trash immediately after buying a camera. Of the shortcomings, in my opinion, he collected everything that can only be bad in a lens - absolutely soapy edges at any aperture and at any focal length, just depressing vignetting (I haven’t seen worse), XA. In reality, the glass in my smartphone gives even the best result. The lens is only limitedly suitable for shooting portraits, the center of the frame is basically sharp. You can forget about the landscape, street photo, panoramas. The paradox is that just no one makes portraits with such lenses, such lenses are just used for landscapes, architecture, etc. those. just for what it is depressingly bad. For some kind of creativity, it was not created in principle because of the fully electronic drive, the response delay when using the focus ring makes it useless. It can only be perceived as a free bonus to a good camera, I can’t imagine a person who wants to buy it separately.
