Sony E PZ 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS II Overview

By B&H Photo's

Designed for APS-C mirrorless camera sensors, the black E PZ 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS II Lens from Sony offers a versatile full-frame equivalent zoom angle of 24-75mm within a compact design. A variable aperture of f/3.5 to 5.6 helps keep the lens's size and weight to a minimum while accommodating most use cases. When the camera is powered off, the lens retracts to just 1.25".

Quick autofocusing and improved Optical SteadyShot image stabilization counteract handheld camera shake for sharper imagery. Four aspherical elements and one Extra-Low Dispersion element ensure high-resolution imagery throughout the zoom range. The lens supports focus pulling while shooting up to 120 fps and autofocus while zooming for intuitive single-person filming with moving subjects.

Is the entire body plastic or the mount only?

Is the entire body plastic or the mount only?

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).

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.
