About the Sony SELP1650 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS

Woody Sherman

Big sensor, small lens

Your Sony E-mount camera is a marvel of innovation, giving you unprecedented portability in combination with the spectacular images of a large APS-C-sized sensor. That sensor size is usually only found in more expensive and bulky DSLRs.

Big sensor, small lens

Your Sony E-mount camera is a marvel of innovation, giving you unprecedented portability in combination with the spectacular images of a large APS-C-sized sensor. That sensor size is usually only found in more expensive and bulky DSLRs.

The Sony Alpha SEL-P1650 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 retractable lens changes the equation, giving you the flexibility you might expect from a traditional kit zoom lens — in a form that extends barely 3/16" out from the camera's front surface when fully retracted. It's lightweight as well, weighing in at a scant 4.1 ounces.

Of course, the fine optical performance you've come to expect from Sony is still in evidence. Images stay distortion and artifact-free across their zoom range. At the wide-angle end of that range, you can fit the whole poker night crowd, posing in the den, into one perfectly framed group photo; at the telephoto end, you'll have the magnification for nice candid portraits.

Features

Optics: The Sony SELP1650 (E PZ 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSS) retractable zoom lens is compatible with the Sony α NEX-series interchangeable lens cameras. The lens has a 35mm equivalent focal length of 24-75mm, and is recommended for a wide variety of photos, from snapshots to portraits.

Power Zoom: The SELP1650 is the first α- (alpha) series lens with an electrically-driven zoom mechanism. When the camera is powered on, the lens extends approximately 7/8", and becomes instantly ready for shooting. The lens retracts approximately 5 seconds after the camera is powered off. You can zoom in and out by sliding the zoom lever up or down. You can also control the power zoom by turning the zoom/focus ring when the camera is in Auto Focus mode.

Note: The zoom/focus ring adjusts the focus when the camera is in Manual Focus mode.

Optical SteadyShot (OSS): Equipped with Optical SteadyShot (OSS), the lens compensates for blur caused by camera shake for normal handheld photography. OSS also reduces the reliance on high ISO settings when shooting in dark environments, which greatly enhances the effectiveness of the Hand-held Twilight and Anti-Motion Blur shooting modes. Optical SteadyShot gives you a 4-stop shutter speed advantage when activated.

Focusing: The lens can be used with the NEX-series cameras in the auto-focus, Direct Manual Focus, or manual focus modes. You can switch between focusing modes in the camera menu.

Dimensions: The lens has the following dimensions: Diameter=2.568", Length=1.405" (1.828"w/caps)
