Retractable Lens with Powered Zoom

The lens is compatible with APS-C-format mirrorless cameras. The built-in OSS (Optical SteadyShot) image stabilization system is an amazing feature that reduces the effect of camera shake.

E PZ 16–50 mm F3.5–5.6 OSS

Great for travel, this lightweight, retractable mid-range zoom collapses down to just 1.18 in. It also features a power zoom for smooth, silent, effortless zooming.

Powered zoom for effortless control

Shooting stills or video, a powered zoom gives you maximum creative control. For added convenience, operate it using a zoom rocker on selected NEX cameras.

Capture smooth, blur-free images

Built-in Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization within the lens provides smooth, blur-free photos and videos when shooting handheld.

Smooth defocusing

Instead of a standard polygon-shaped lens aperture, this lens features a 7-blade circular aperture for more natural, rounded defocusing, or bokeh.

Refined optical performance

Aspherical lens elements minimize distortion while ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements provide superior contrast, resolution, and color fidelity.
