Sony F 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6

Sony’s E PZ 16–50 mm F3.5–5.6 OSS (SELP1650) is a compact APS‑C zoom designed for E‑mount cameras. The official product page labels it a wide‑angle power zoom with Optical SteadyShot, and shows a retractable design that keeps the lens extremely portable. The 16–50 mm range covers everyday scenes from broad interiors and landscapes through normal perspectives, while the variable f/3.5–5.6 aperture keeps size and weight down. Power zoom enables smooth focal transitions for video, and OSS helps stabilize handheld stills and footage. Autofocus is fast and near‑silent, and the electronic zoom lever provides precise, repeatable framing. Build is lightweight yet feels solid for casual travel and daily shooting. The model page also lists the SELP1650 designation and current store pricing status. In practice, this lens suits walk‑around photography, quick social content, and compact video rigs where minimal mass matters. If you need a tiny E‑mount kit with stabilization and motorized zoom control, this lens remains a pragmatic choice, especially with newer APS‑C bodies that add in‑camera corrections. It is not a low‑light specialist, but it delivers practical coverage, stabilization, and convenience in one of Sony’s smallest zooms.
