Sony E-Mount APS-C power zoom standard lens

  • A great everyday APS-C lens for stills and movies: This 16-50 mm (35mm full-frame equivalent: 24-75 mm) power zoom lens is perfect for day-to-day use, providing a standard zoom range and excellent features to support both photo and movie content creation.
  • Excellent optical performance: Four aspherical elements and one ED (Extra low Dispersion) element in an innovative optical design achieve high resolution throughout a 16-50 mm zoom range. Color bleeding is minimal, clarity is high, and smooth bokeh is available from the 7-blade circular aperture.
  • AF performance that brings out the best in advanced bodies: With an advanced linear motor and high-speed control, the E PZ 16-50 mm F3.5-5.6 0SS II makes it easier to focus focus on moving subjects with ease. Superior tracking performance supports the high-speed 120 fps2 continuous shooting capability of high-performance α9 Ill, as well as 4K 120p/FHD 240p high frame rate movie recording3. Focus is smooth, precise, and very quiet.
  • Advanced movie features: Smooth, quiet power zoom is ideal for movie shooting, and AF is available even while zooming. Built-in optical stabilization works with in-body stabilization1, including Active Mode, to minimize blur in movies. Focus breathing is controlled to minimize shifts in angle of view while focusing for smooth, stable footage. Body breathing compensation is supported2, and metadata allows compensation during editing.
  • Compact and lightweight for outstanding agility and mobility: The E PZ 16-SOmm F3.5-5.6 OSS II retracts to a total length of just 37.3 mm (1-1/4 inch) when camera power is turned off. In addition to its diminutive size and low weight of just 107 grams (3.8 oz.), it is a durable lens that can withstand the rigors of day-to-day shooting.
  • Flexible control in a compact lens: An integrated zoom and focus ring allows fast, accurate zooming or focusing depending on the needs of the moment. Power zoom can be controlled by a zoom lever that allows smooth, constant-speed zoom operation. The E PZ 16-5Omm F3.5-5.6 OSS II accepts 40.5 mm screw-on filters.
