📷 Sony 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS Alpha E-Mount Retractable Zoom Lens (Optimized for SEO, Bulk Packaging) Review

I bumped my old Sony lens a bit and it went wrong and didn't want to work it. I watched the repair video and after seeing all the screws and wires that had to come out to be able to glue the tiny piece of plastic I decided I would sell it to someone more talented than me and just get a new one would buy.

I have a Sony A7III body and a Sony 24-105mm lens which I use for work and I really love it, but it's quite difficult and inconvenient to do all this when travelling take with me, so I leave my camera at home when I go out. I felt quite guilty because besides taking photos for work, I recently started a travel blog and always want to have a camera with me to capture all the good moments. Before I went on a 3 week trip from San Francisco to Seattle I decided to buy this lens. Couldn't be happier
