Sony E 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS Lens Review

Handling and features


A common complaint with Sony's NEX camera system is the size lenses need to be due to the large APS-C sized imaging sensor. This new E16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS lens may be the answer to that issue. It uses a collapsible design and a powered zoom mechanism and only protrudes from the body by 29.9mm when it is collapsed. On top of this, it also sports an optical stabilisation system and a field of view equivalent to a 24-75mm lens on a 35mm camera for quite a reasonable price of around £310.

Does the compact size and low price mean Sony have compromised elsewhere? We'll investigate in this review.
