Compact and Lightweight Design
One of the standout features of the Sony E PZ 16-50mm lens is its highly compact and lightweight design. Weighing just 4.2 ounces (approximately 115 grams) and measuring a mere 1.9 inches (4.7 cm) in length when retracted, it makes an ideal travel companion. Whether you’re exploring the city or capturing landscapes in the great outdoors, this lens easily fits into a small bag or even a larger pocket, making it perfect for on-the-go shooting.
Power Zoom for Smooth, Precise Control
The lens incorporates Sony’s Power Zoom (PZ) technology, which offers smooth and precise zoom control, both during still photography and video recording. This feature is especially useful when shooting videos, where a natural, uninterrupted zoom transition can make a significant difference in production quality. The electronic zoom can be controlled either via the zoom ring or through the camera’s controls, providing a versatile shooting experience.
Optical SteadyShot (OSS) Image Stabilization
Sony’s Optical SteadyShot (OSS) technology compensates for camera shake, ensuring your images remain sharp even in low-light situations or when shooting handheld. This built-in image stabilization reduces blur caused by small movements, allowing for crisper photos and videos, especially in challenging conditions or when working with slower shutter speeds. The OSS system is particularly beneficial when shooting at longer focal lengths or in dimly lit environments.
Versatile Focal Length Range
Covering a 16-50mm focal length range (24-75mm equivalent on full-frame cameras), this lens is highly versatile. The wide-angle 16mm focal length allows you to capture expansive landscapes, street scenes, and group shots, while the 50mm focal length provides a more natural perspective, ideal for portraits and everyday photography. The zoom range is flexible enough to adapt to various situations, from wide-angle landscapes to tighter shots of subjects at a medium range.
Fast and Quiet Autofocus
The Sony E PZ 16-50mm lens features a fast and quiet autofocus (AF) system, making it an excellent choice for both photography and video. The autofocus is driven by a linear motor, ensuring quick and accurate focus acquisition with minimal noise, which is especially crucial when recording videos. The smooth and responsive AF performance makes it easy to capture moving subjects or quickly switch focus between different areas of a scene.
Designed for Sony E-Mount APS-C Cameras
This lens is specifically designed for Sony’s E-mount APS-C cameras, such as the Sony α6000, α6100, α6300, α6400, and α6500 series. When paired with these cameras, it offers an effective focal length range of 24-75mm (equivalent to full-frame), making it an excellent all-around lens for a variety of subjects and genres of photography. The combination of lightweight construction and a broad zoom range makes it a perfect match for Sony’s mirrorless APS-C sensor cameras.
