Sometimes size matters

By Thomas

Rated 5 out of 5

Date: 2025-06-30

This little kit lens sometimes doesn’t get a lot of love, however for its size it is a beast - and in most situations at does a pretty good job. It is my go to lens for skiiing, climbing and canyoneering where size (and cost) can be a problem. Light, small and cheap enough to bring into any situation without any worries - and you will most likely get some great shots from it. This is not a fast lens, so obviously it does not excel in low light situations. Th at said, I have gotten great shots deep in some dark canyons.

Great lens for training

I hike a lot and was seriously upgrading my photography gear from small portable camera/iphone to a camera. It ended being a a6700. Lens panoplia in the market was so vast I just decided to go for the kit lens and find out what lens to buy in the future. After 3 months shooting with it I can now start to understand what will be my lens for portraits, my lens for telephoto and my lens for wider landscape shooting/ astrophoto, and even to substitute the kit lens. But not yet, I am still keeping this one for now and keep training for some more months. It has quality and great portability.

Is the entire body plastic or the mount only?

Asked by: Vladimir

The Sony E PZ 16-50mm II lens has a metal body and only the lens mount is plastic to help reduce the weight from 116g (the first version of the lens) to 107g.

What's the difference between the 1st version and this second version as the specs seem to be the same?

Asked by: Jeff

Even though the optical formula of the lens is unchanged over the previous version, Sony E PZ 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS II Lens has an updated control chip which allows the lens to focus while zooming. This also means that the lens can keep up with the 1080/120p video recording mode on the new ZV-E10 II. The new version is now able to communicate gyro information from it's stabilization system to the camera body, allowing better coordination between the two. The move from a metal lens mount to a plastic one in the Sony E PZ 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS II Lens helps reduce the weight from 116g to 107g (3.8oz).

Will this work with the Sony A7C?

Asked by: tony

The Sony E PZ 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS II Lens (Sony E, Black) is compatible with the Sony a7C Mirrorless Camera. However, this lens is designed for Sony APS-C sensor cameras and will create a crop factor on full frame cameras, such as the Sony a7C. The megapixel will drop to 10MP in crop mode.

Asked by: Anthony M.

Using the Sony E PZ 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS II Lens (Sony E, Black) on a full frame camera body like the Sony A7SIII will cause vignetting when taking a picture.
