Designed for APS-C mirrorless camera sensors, the black E PZ 16-50mm f3.5-5.6 OSS II Lens from Sony offers a versatile full-frame equivalent zoom angle of 24-75mm within a compact design. A variable aperture of f/3.5 to 5.6 helps keep the lens’s size and weight to a minimum while accommodating most use cases. When the camera is powered off, the lens retracts to just 1.25″.

Quick autofocusing and improved Optical SteadyShot image stabilization counteract handheld camera shake for sharper imagery. Four aspherical elements and one Extra-Low Dispersion element ensure high-resolution imagery throughout the zoom range. The lens supports focus pulling while shooting up to 120 fps and autofocus while zooming for intuitive single-person filming with moving subjects.

Compact and Versatile Zoom

Designed for APS-C mirrorless cameras, the black Sony E PZ 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS II offers a versatile 24-75mm full-frame equivalent zoom range within a compact, lightweight design. The variable f/3.5-5.6 aperture helps keep size and weight low while covering wide-angle to short telephoto focal lengths, making it a reliable all-around lens for everyday shooting. When powered off, the lens retracts to just 1.25″, enhancing portability and ease of storage.

Optical Performance

The optical design incorporates four aspherical elements and one Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) element, which work together to reduce chromatic aberrations, distortion, and color fringing. As a result, the lens delivers sharp, high-contrast, and color-accurate images across the entire zoom range. The rounded diaphragm also contributes to smooth and pleasing background bokeh when using selective focus techniques.

Image Stabilization

Sony’s improved Optical SteadyShot image stabilization minimizes camera shake for sharper handheld images and smoother video capture. This stabilization can be especially effective in low-light shooting conditions or when working with slower shutter speeds.
