Compact zoom for E-mount

The Sony E PZ 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS is a retractable power-zoom lens built for Sony E-mount cameras. It suits photographers who value a minimal footprint while travelling or shooting daily life. The variable aperture ranges from f/3.5 at the wide end to f/5.6 at the telephoto end.

Retractable design for portable kits

A motorised barrel collapses the lens to a short length when the camera is powered off, freeing space in a small bag and allowing quick deployment. The power-zoom lever on the barrel gives smooth focal-length changes for video, while the internal focus mechanism keeps the front element stationary for filter use.

Optical formula with ED and aspherical elements

One extra-low dispersion element and four aspherical elements correct chromatic aberration and distortion across the 16-50mm range. Optical SteadyShot image stabilisation is built into the lens, providing shake reduction for handheld stills and video without relying on in-body stabilisation.

Questions about this item

How does the retractable mechanism affect handling during long shooting sessions?

The lens collapses to 3/16 when retracted, making it extremely compact and lightweight for all-day carry and quick deployment.

Does the lens generate noticeable heat or draw extra power during continuous video recording?

As a passive optical lens with no internal motors beyond the zoom actuator, it produces negligible heat and draws minimal power from the camera body.

Which camera bodies can use this lens without an adapter?

It mounts directly on any Sony E-mount camera, including APS-C and full-frame models in crop mode.
