Review

In general, I'm happy with it. I bought the A6000 with this kit lens. For those who have just started to study photography, and at the same time want an inexpensive lens, it will do. Also, if you buy it separately from the camera, it will be much more expensive than immediately with the camera. What else can be added, distortion and vignetting can be easily corrected with the same lightroom / fsh, and when shooting, you should close the aperture to 6.3. Manual focus is inconvenient, it is…

Everything described below, taking into account the fact that I constantly think about Sony 16-55 2.8 or Tamron 17-70 2.8, or a couple of fixes, but every time I look at the frames from it, I catch myself thinking "does it make sense if everything looks good anyway even without processing ?", there is money for something for 60-70tr, it’s not a problem at all, but I just can’t persuade myself that I need to abandon this 16-50 whale . The lens on the a6400 camera produces gorgeous 4k, I put…

Sony tried so hard to reduce the size of the Nex series carcasses, but they did not make a compact whale zoom of acceptable quality, alas.

I got it complete with a camera, I have no complaints about aberrations, Although there is a terrible suspicion that the sharpness is underestimated by software in order to force you to buy additional glass

In general, I' and at the same time want an inexpensive lens, if you buy it separately from the camera, distortion and vignetting can be easily corrected with the same lightroom / fsh, and when shooting, you should close the aperture to 6.3

Pros: Compactness, quiet zoom (perhaps the last advantage of my copy), It also allows you to achieve volume in the frame, but for this you need to catch the moment or move your legs. Different cons: Small aperture even for a kit lens (I would like the maximum aperture value to be at least 2.8) For my taste, whales from the Fujifilm system will be more sympathetic.

Pros below: Lightweight, compact, stabilized, the camera does not bother in the bag, you can often take the camera with you. Has some cons: it folds up, and when you continue shooting, it expands to fr 16, these constant unnecessary folding/ the NEX-5 they made glass,

Ingenious gl, on a 16MP matrix, in terms of quality and sharpness, if I can’t, or don’t want to carry a backpack with Nikon FF + 2,3 using this gl is preferable to super sharp, carefully check at f3.5-5.6 as well as bad crooked specimens!

it’s almost perfect whale (on competing 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) can be viewed here: In the tags, I noted which lens I shot with.

If you are not very demanding and shoot in jpg or lens size is the main factor for you, then the lens will suit you. If you have already had experience shooting in Raw with good DSLR lenses, then this lens will disappoint you. I already regret that I took the camera with him, and not with a lens with a fixed focal length. Has some pros Compact, in the off state it shifts to very small sizes. The performance for a lens of such a small size is not bad. Cons: - Vignetting and distortion. At the…

In general, I think that a decent whale lens. Its pros: Compactness, quiet zoom (perhaps the last advantage of my copy), built-in optical stabilizer. You can get a beautiful picture even without much experience in photography. It also allows you to achieve volume in the frame, but for this you need to catch the moment or move your legs. Cons: Small aperture even for a kit lens (I would like the maximum aperture value to be at least 2.8). Bokeh is poorly defined. For my taste, whales from the…

Different pros: Lightweight, compact, quiet, the distortion that everyone writes about is corrected automatically by any Nex, you just need to turn on this function in the camera (if someone didn’t know about it, I’m sorry guys :)) there is soap, but only at high ISOs at 200 sharp always even in the open. Cons below: For such a compactness, low weight, reasonable price, they are not there, everything else that they write, learn to shoot the guys and you won’t need to write a lot and whine about

I changed 18-55 to 16-50, because I wanted more compactness. I got compactness, but now a hemorrhoid with a wide angle has appeared. It would be better not to change, foolishly first sold 18-55, and then bought 16-50. For the current generation of cameras, the lens will do, although the quality is mediocre anyway. Has some pros Lightweight, compact, stabilized, made of metal. A versatile lens for vacations or light shooting when you don't want to carry anything else. With it, the camera does…

I had experience using many lenses (including kit lenses) from Canon and Nikon, and I can say about the subject that this is the best budget kit lens I've ever seen. I emphasize - from whales. I will compare with them, because as for the picture, everything here is standard for a whale. First of all, compared to analogues, the lens is ultra-compact and the focal length is changed using a motor. It works exceptionally quickly - it switches from extreme to extreme position in a split second…

Bought for 8 ( Market offered a discount) not counting on something good, but after taking a picture, I realized that it was inferior to expensive ones, except perhaps only in the range of focal lengths and, of course, aperture. I mainly shoot on the Tamron 18-200 because of its versatility, but when I'm specifically going to shoot something artistic and 35mm is not suitable, I use it to get better shots. In general, surprised in a good sense of the word. I put the aperture ratio on 5 stars…

I took this lens for the Sony A6500 as a pocket option for video shooting, and now I spit. I handed it over to the service 2 times, changed the motor and gearbox, then added lubricants - it didn’t help much. Yes, they told me that they are all like that, they showed me another one on the camera, handed over for repair - even louder! And this despite the fact that the Sony website says: "Lens with silent zoom, ideal for video shooting"! Sheer deception! The service refuses to sign the return…

Like many, having a Sony Nex, with the purchase of this lens, I wanted to get a compact universal camera. Of a good dozen (!) Viewed copies of 16-50, only two could boast of relatively uniform sharpness at a wide angle, despite the fact that at 20-50 mm the picture quality was acceptable to everyone. The point is in the design of the lens - at a wide angle, the rear lens unit has greater mobility . to put it simply, it dangles in the body much more than when zooming towards 50mm. And since…

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,

for those who care about compactness and need a small zoom - it will do I often carry a fotik with me, including hiking and various extreme sports there were no problems with a 16mm fix, and this selp1650 died a second time in a year afraid of dust and dirt, quickly began to buzz when zooming with strong overloads on the ATV, the zoom knob became oval, it jammed - repair I bought a NEX-7, with the new firmware it fixes the jambs of optics itself, crops the picture a little bit on the…
