The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.  | sent on December 13, 2019 Pros: compact, light, stabilized Cons: It is an optic provided in kit, simple, but you know it and you can not expect both higher optics (quality and cost)! Opinion: It is an optic provided in kit and combined with an excellent APS-C (my a6400), almost given away (the optics). It is clear that such an optics goes to stifle the enormous potential and quality of the 6400, in fact it is not intended to accompany the APSC forever, it is destined to be replaced as soon as possible with a better performing lens (I replaced it with Zeiss 16_35 f./4, heaven on earth...). Nothing stratospheric, but knowing how to use it (studying it and understanding it and not using it to "nose" as many do and then complain) you get good results, very pleasant. You can use it quietly, for photos of "everyday" and also for some nice shots avoiding critical situations of light. Better to close by 1 stop and stay on the f./5.6/8 to have good/dignified photos, I would say even at the corners. It's fine if you want a pocket-sized system or almost a pocket. The stabilizer does its good work without any problems. The AF of the 6400 has not been affected in the slightest by the use of this optics, always as fast and precise as a razor. Paraluce: it exists on the market, but it is so thin (1 cm) that it is irrelevant. FILTERS: it has the ability to use them, but you do not find many on the market with what diameter (I put a simple UV). In the gallery I have a couple of MORAL photos: keep it for a while, but sooner or later you will have to replace it. Hello Alberto |
 | sent on December 12, 2019 Pros: Size, weight, stabilized Cons: Indecent optical quality Opinion: Taken with the A6000 I was definitely expecting something more, really bad lens that returns poor quality caditing how good the sensor of the a6000 manages to return even today . I thought I could have the quality of a very good Apsc sensor in the size of a compact and, having as the main body an a7Rii, a second body performing and cheap. so it wasn't because this little good zoom is only the size because it looks bad as a wide angle up to 30 equivalent returning bad sharpness then in my case the loss of sharpness affects the various parts of the frame differently. Flat photos and free of microcontrast, poor grip on the flare or various reflections . To those who say that you have to settle because it is a kit lens or to those who consider this bottle bottom a good lens , I invite you to try the incredible fuji xc 15-45 , lens kit of amazing sharpness and microcontrast. Ultimately I consider it as scandalous as all Sony 'cheap' lenses except for the 18-135. |
  | sent on November 30, 2019 Pros: Light, compact, stabilized, cheap, good overall optical yield especially from f. 5.6 to f. 11, good value for money. Cons: Slow zoom, lack of lampshade (to be bought separately), optical yield does not excel at T.A. at the slightest focal, relatively dark, only electric zoom and a little slow. Opinion: It's the all-rounder optics of the kit with the Sony Alpha 5000 that I took some time ago. It allows me to tuck the camera into my pocket due to its small size and featherweight. I did not find in this lens all those optical defects that other users have reported, if anything I detected some slight operational difficulty such as slow ness to zoom (electric zoom only), MAF slowness with poor light, some parasitic light due to the lack of the lampshade, but on the plane of optical rendering I have nothing to say. It is a lens that honestly performs its work, even mounted on extension tubes to make macros or close-ups. Good general sharpness, especially between f. 5.6 and f. 11, good color yield. Sure, it's not a blade like certain L Canon series lenses, but the photos you can take with this lens are more than dignified. I can only think that users who consider this lens to be like a bottle bottom have a faulty specimen, because my experience with this "piece" is satisfactory. I would add, after reading the comments following mine, that in fact even some of my acquaintances complained about the yield of this zoom, however, after trying my specimen, they had to recognize that in fact it was the one in their possession that was not satisfactory, otherwise mine; doing the test of the nine and that is by mounting their 16-50 on my 5000 I have to recognize that their 16-50 has a worse yield than my counterpart. The only thing that unites these more "poor" lenses is that they are sold in combination with the 6000 series cameras. Finally, some other friend who owns the 5000/5100, like me, never complained about the performance of their 16-50 kit. |
 | sent on November 29, 2019 Pros: Lightness, colors Cons: Poor sharpness Opinion: Bought together with the Sony a6000 two years ago, I was disappointed with the surrender of the target. Poor sharpness and generally kneaded photos. Only at certain focal points and openings can there be improvements, except the colors that I overall find good. A lens that I can't trust (ok the price is low) to the point of making me question the qualities of the a6000 that, with better optics (and iso bass), despite being dated, can still churn out good files (although the comparison that is sometimes made with refl ex of the far higher level I find it ridiculous). Unless he stumbled upon a badly born goal, I find it useless |
 | sent on November 23, 2019 Pros: Lightness, compactness, practicality, utility, overall yield, ridiculous price if taken in kit. Cons: Optical quality, does not preserve the zoom memory, it is not possible to put the lampshade Opinion: All the worst possible and imaginable has been said of this objective. If you are a pixel-peeper/addict stay as far away as possible... if you like to photograph knowing full well that you will not have the same quality of images of a prime optics of 1000 euros (but not even that of the SEL50/SEL35 f1.8)... then you will love it. This small zoom makes the machines in the a6x00 series totally portable, great for street and for general use. Obviously his ideal field is outdoors or in good light condition and can pull out great images even without extreme postprocessing, just know how to handle it and know its limits. As for distortion and vignette, the correction is obviously automatic if you shoot JPG, but also by shooting RAW and using Lightroom for the PP you do not see distortions or vignettes because the software automatically applies the corrections of the case. I think you have to use other software (RawTherapee and, perhaps, Capture1) to see them; C1, however, has already installed the profile for this goal. In any case on Juza there are a lot of photos taken with this lens for which you can evaluate directly. In conclusion, maybe it is not the case to buy it as a single lens but if taken together with the machine it costs a few euros and it is worth having |
  | sent on September 07, 2019 Pros: Compactness, lightness, stabilization, overall performance Cons: electro-optimizeed zoom Opinion: Optical kit that does not make you cry out to the miracle but allows you to have excellent results closing by 1 stop. Absurd price if purchased alone but in kit it is absolutely worth it. I don't like electro-implemented zooms because they're not very responsive and they consume battery unnecessarily, but this is done so... take or leave. Ultimately, a view that if you have it is better than not having it. |
 | sent on May 17, 2019 Pros: Size, quality more than acceptable in relation to the price Cons: Backlight sealing, battery consumption induced by motorized zoom Opinion: Coupled to the 5100 I find it a good optics. Its main reason is obviously the portability. From a lens in this price range and this size you can not wait for stellar pictures, this does not mean that you can take home of the beautiful shots. It is sufficiently sharp and correct at all focal lengths between the equivalents 35 and 75 mm (24 -50). At 16 mm (24 equivalents) presents in my opinion some distortion and a drop in sharpness, but barely perceptible. I noticed instead some more problem in the resistance to flare and photos in backlight, where the result is often mixed up and disappointing. Many users also complain about the low light, but the stabilization compensates well and allows use in most situations. Zoom and focus (when used in manual) are motored. Then pay attention to the battery consumption. |
 | sent on April 05, 2019 Pros: 4 cm with caps, just over 100 g, economical, stabilized Cons: Low light Opinion: Good Companion If you want to leave the house light and unpretentious. An equivalent 24-70 that gives good memories as long as you do not circle the hair in the egg going to enlarge the detail in one of your photos. In my case, for the prints that I make that is 10x15 and 13x18 there is no imperfection. In good light, the focus always responds accurately and fairly quickly, I have rarely discarded bad shots. Unfortunately the opening range makes it difficult to use freehand in the evenings or in dimly lit environments. A small flaw more than acceptable to the nature of this lens that wants to be a pocket-sized and economical starting point for your new mirrorless. |
 | sent on March 29, 2019 Pros: Good sharpness, excellent colors, stabilized, very light. Cons: A bit of Distortion and Sharpness not at the top. Opinion: After a sizeable "lightening" of my Sony outfit I took a A6300 with this "infamous" 16-50. After The first findings on the field, I must admit that I was more than favorably surprised. To read some reviews, I expected a real glass bottom, a "catorcio" of objective. It is Not at all so, anything but so. With the "Auto-corrections" in the car, it is sharp (it is not Fluorite or ED), at least as much as enough to a good photo. The examples below confirm this. Without AC, even at the edges of the image. Above all it is not intrusive, a "feather", ideal to go out informally "in the street". Distorts a little? Chisse.. Just a couple of clicks. In Summary, I think it's a great travel companion. "Photography is a pleasure if it transforms you into" Sherpa "what a pleasure it is!?" |
 | sent on February 13, 2019 Pros: Compact, lightweight, wide-angle, stabilised, focus speed, it's free (they throw it back with any Sony APS-C). Cons: Distortion, chromatic aberration, vignetting, F 3.5 up to 19 mm. Opinion: Big lens, nice results, compact lens, poor results... it's the law of nature in the world of photography. This lens is designed for the world's mirrorless APS-C, definition of ' compact '. Do not claim the same rendition of a Canon 18-55 lens that is 4 times larger and heavier. Obviously the photos with this lens are not that great qualitatively, but to be a good photographer do not have to race to those who have the biggest lens, look at the photos below the reviews, all great shots with a plastic lens made by real photographers. I think it's worth keeping it and not changing it, in my kit I have an 8 mm fish eye f2.8 and a 16mm sigma f1.4, the best combination to give up this quarter-called lens, and yet I still keep it for when I travel and I want to only get this lens and a 50- 210. Very useful in video due to the stabilization. Very fast Autofocus. 16 mm very useful. Thank goodness you can not deactivate the distortion correction otherwise it would be a kind of bad fish eye:)) for personal use and compactness if you want to travel light absolutely recommended, but if you want to take a step forward in the wide angle Better buy another lens. Photo quality: 6; Video quality: 8 (thanks to the stabilization); Build Quality: 7; Dimensions and portability: 10. |
| sent on February 09, 2019 Pros: compactness, Focal range Cons: All Opinion: Shameful lens, a bottle bottom of which I do not understand the meaning, if not as a gift in kits with machines of the caliber of a6000, 6300,6500... compactness and focal range the strengths. Dark, with absurd vignetting, seems designed for smaller-sized sensors than the APS-C... In pp We recover some distortions (vignetting and geometric), but the sharpness remains obviously from the C-series lens. You can still do acceptable jobs, failing anything else, but it's really an embarrassing product. |
user33907  | sent on September 29, 2018 Pros: Compact, light, versatile, stabilised Cons: Construction, sharpness at the edges, noisy zoom in video, distortion, problems to mount accessories for the scooter, AF. Opinion: Zoom lens appreciable for compactness, discreet stabilization and range 16-50 (even if the MM is never enough!!!). Unfortunately the sharpness is good in the center but gradually down to the edges, along with the various distortions correctable in post but still very obvious. Other speech The scooter: If on one hand offers compactness to everything on the other makes it difficult to assemble filters, lens hoods etc because they weigh down the barrel and stall the engine with the danger of damaging it! By pulling the sums, on Nex3N the AF loupe and the zoom noise in the videos do not compromise the main element of the optics: compactness and versatility. Then it is the usual speech of the glass half full or half empty, in the use ' pocketable ' excursions and/or travel within Sony e-mount is a must. |
 | sent on May 16, 2018 Pros: Small economic Slight Cons: Plasticky, Energivoro, soft in yield, slow to zommare, not lightning in focus, it struggles with little light, obviously rendered by "kit lens" Opinion: It is the kit lens of the Mirrorless a6000 series. As all photographically speaking kit lenses is base, you will get flat and fluffy images. And you do not have to wonder what longevity, my creaks already after 3 trips. But it is the most common lens on mirroless because:-they put it everywhere-has a focal range among the most useful for APCs (equivalent to 24 70 for full frame which is the most used zoom as all do for full frame)-because it costs little so even if it breaks or if you ruin Do not tear your hair-because it is lightweight and compact so you can put it anywhere you choose... but the question I would do is... it makes sense to spend €1500 of body machine to mount a €150 lens that returns results from compact?? ... |

 | sent on January 28, 2018 Pros: Dimensions. Speed ??in focusing. Focus range in which there is most of the photographable. Optical quality more than good to get great photos. Cons: It is a "plasticone", but honest. Clear optical limits, but who cares .... Opinion: Good evening everyone.rnSpero not to have the wrong scope of discussion.rnSu Juzaphoto recently, I introduce myself: 58 years, photographer for 40 years (with a long break in the middle).

| sent on August 19, 2017 Pros: Lens underestimated, good blur, f8 up sharp even at corners Cons: Distortion and vignetting at 16mm Opinion: Optics that made me fall in love with photography! Combined with my Sony a5000 is in the pocket of a coat, allowing me to carry the camera always me.rnIn the footprint of a fixed you have a handyman ranging from wide-angle to mediotele, interesting also in portraits where it allows to have a good bokeh also closing the Diaphragm to gain sharpness.rnUsable even as macros with discrete results after a slight crop.rnÉ that under 20mm distortion and vignetting are very obvious but the fixes in the room work very well and with regard to the raw with just a few clicks you system everything Without the need to crochet. If maybe I take it separately, it makes less sense but make the mistake of not taking it in the kit is crazy in my opinion! |
user92328 | sent on May 31, 2017 Pros: Optics of great potential, poor chromatic aberration.... the top gives it to f/8 to have sharpness at the corners, great ability to capture details, in fact, excellent also in the macro field.. Fantastic Bokeh even at f/8, even the vent is not bad... For the quality of the files produced and for the pocket size it is a must have.... Cons: It's ok distorts and vignettes at 16mm but for me it's all solvable on pS and very easily and without crop, and it's also a light lens since it's better not to go down below the f/5, but because it's used for landscapes or macros and streets, so we know that you hardly go down below the f/5.6 or f/8 to have a greater pdc, consequently the problem of brightness is relative, and then, you will not believe it but, as already mentioned in the "Pros" to f/8 returns an excellent Bokeh, this to say that you do not necessarily need an f/2 or lower focals for a nice Bokeh.... Opinion: There are those who manifest displeasance with this lens I instead take all the best that it manages to give, often as more expensive lens, and then, and then, gosh we are talking about a zoom lens in 3 cm space and that you can use both as a discreet wide angle and as a zoom for everything you need and also as a macro.... For me it is a lens that above all in kit is to be had............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ My review ends here, where it's useful to be around, what matters is the facts, and the facts are the photos, so look and judged by that.......... Frankly, those who claim that it is a bottle bottom, it is evident that they did not know how to exploit it, or caught an unsuccessfully specimen ...... |
 | sent on March 21, 2017 Pros: Dimensions, stabilizer, versatility. Cons: Unusable at 16mm for vignetting. Dark. Opinion: I do not understand how you can put on sale an item that clearly does not work in the total of its features: a 16mm vignetting is an incredible thing, never seen anything like that. Looks like a vision for another system. That said for the rest, for what it costs to behave discreetly. The AF is fast and the stabilizer does its own. The lens is extremely versatile and compact. Attached to the camera aesthetically it is perfect (but so much). The quality all open is quite poor. Its biggest flaw is the vignetting at 16mm, really marked, even at F8 and fixable in post production only through crop. It's a shame because for the rest of the focal length it's pretty definite and closed a bit the detail is good. Kneads a little with subjects in the distance. Good for what it costs but pity for those 16mm that (to my taste) don't make it an independent lens. |
 | sent on November 02, 2016 Pros: Weight, size, fast engine, price Cons: Vignetting, sharpness, unusual diameter of the filters. Opinion: The lens weighs very little and to keep mounted on the machine in general use should be just fine bene.rnNon wanting squeeze a little 'more the potential of macchina.rnLa distortion does not put you among the disadvantages, since if used diligently can give great shots creativi.rnLa vignetting is unforgivable. If the bright shots can easily be corrected when there is less light correction in post production creates digital noise and purple color at the edges scuri.rnIn terms of sharpness we not true that turning a bit 'the diaphragm improves definition, but they are often forced to increase the sharpness / clarity in post production to bring out the lines, especially if the light condition was not optimal during scatto.rnManca the lens hood. unusual diameter filters.

 | sent on June 03, 2016 Pros: focal length, 16 mm, stabilization, sharpness between f / 8 and f / 11, compactness Cons: Vignetting and distortion at 16mm, brightness, "PZ" requires habit Opinion: I use it in conjunction with a Sony NEX-5R taken as the body ultra compact to carry with me always and for this purpose the objective in question is ideal: the ML is ultra-compact and can be worn without feeling clutter. For these purposes the 16-50 kit makes to himself: they range from wide angle to medium telephoto, with all the limitations of the case, of course, but for street and landscape (where you can do without large openings) think it ottimo.rnE 'a honest goal to have it constantly bring home excellent file and on the NEX 5R sensor 16 MPX is really good in my opinion as risolvenza.rnPer against 16 mm with marked distortion (still recoverable PP) but can also be exploited almost like a simil.fish eye (take with tweezers this statement); the problem is that I do not love the strong vignetting in photos but then such a compact lens that ranges from 16 to 50 mm motorized and stabilized optical requires compromise so we can pass sopra.rnIl Power Zoom requires a custom poo but photographing with a ML no viewfinder comes in handy but the first time is difficult. rnConsiglio the purchase of used you saw the price and you have a tuttofre with the footprint of a fixed (with all the compromises necessary). |
 | sent on December 09, 2015 Pros: Compactness, good yield up to 20mm focal length, good yield of extension tubes macro. Cons: Too dim to be a handyman, under 20mm expires for both distortion for clarity (on sensor 24mpx). Opinion: A lens that I took in the kit but I always used much. Recently often only when I need something very compact, out of sheer necessity. However, it is capable of churning out some good pictures from 20mm up and with good light, enough to use his limited range of diaphragms. It also becomes surprisingly good when mounted on extension tubes macro (with electrical contacts) up to magnifications greater than 1: 1. From provare.rnrn |

 | sent on March 16, 2013 Pros: Image quality more than adequate, good stabilization, AF fast and silent, compact. A little more contrasty E18-55 Cons: Zoom control and assisted with the same feeling that require habit. Lack of built-in hood Opinion: The image quality of this obbiettio I was almost surprised, but also not given. I like the 16mm that make me renounce without hesitation to 5mm less than the obvious point of comparison 18-55. For both, therefore, good image quality, quietness and effectiveness AF. This is more compact when closed and makes the camera easier to transport, almost "taschinabile", also because you can leave at home any 16mm. If instead it is inserted into a bag-kit, the final benefit in terms of compactness is obviously ridotto.rnProblemi management of the flare because it lacks the built-in hood. It 's more contrasty E18-power zoom 55.rnrnIl command requires addictive. It has a fairly fast and accurate response. Personally, the first approaches nex-6 comes to control the zoom lever from the axial to the shutter-release button because my cerebellum tends to recognize the cone along a compact. The result, of nex-6, is the SHUTDOWNor turning LEFT or anything if you turn RIGHT. In this sense, I find it very interesting the repeated command of the nex-3. Having only one ring on the lens when the camera is set to AF this is used to zoom in (ie two commands to zoom in close to each other), while if it is set in MF, then you need to make fuoco.rnrnIn synthesis, one of the best goals kit? Probably yes, and the same is true of the E18-55 |
