Review on Sony SELP1650 16 50Mm Power Zoom by Adisorn PK ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

I don't want to spend my money on this item.

Prior to that (for January - March 2022) I took three more A6000 kit kits (for friends and one for replacement - there was a mechanical defect of the carcass, a dent on the side surface), on two kits the lenses were of the same quality as described above (for all lenses, a full studio test). And only one of the indicated 3 tested was a little better (at least some sharpness was on the open). On specialized forums, most users speak extremely negatively about the quality of the 16-50mm kit lens, and judging by their posts, the quality of everyone is about the same as this lens for me. Only one of the users on the forum turned out to be lucky - his whale 16-50 (judging by his words) gives a better image than mine and other users have. Thus, it turns out that, theoretically, a kit lens can give a normal image, but 3/4 of the lenses entering the 2022 market (at least in kit kits) are of very low quality (if not to say that they are serial defects). As a result, I am extremely sorry that I took a whale kit, I should have taken a bodysuit. Then everything would be much easier with the exchange and repair of the lens.

Pros
  • Compact, satisfactory picture in bright sunlight with apertures above f/8
Cons
  • Disastrously poor image quality! On a whale (which was taken complete with a carcass) at a wide angle at an open aperture, it is GENERALLY IMPOSSIBLE to get a sharp image (in any mode, up to manual focus on a stationary object, a blurry, muddy-unsharp image is obtained). After a long correspondence with the Sony service and sending them test shots (according to the ISO test tables of A0 format), the transfer of the kit (camera + kit) for repair has now been formalized through the central SONY service, I'm waiting for the courier. But they said that the Service Center does not deal with the exchange and they only do repairs (and what kind of lens repair is possible in the service center ? it is non-separable, and there are no conditions for such work there - this must be sent to the factory)
