personally i got this to replace the 18-55mm kit lens which came with my 5N, but i quickly switched backreasons why its good: -small size-similar image quality-still maintains OSSreasons why i did NOT like it: -the zoom ring direction is REVERSED!!
Similar Image Quality; Small and light; Wider By 2mm
Zoom Is Too Sensitive; Zoom Ring Is Reversed
The lens is NOT compatible with my NEX-5D. There is no software update for this camera therefore the resulting pictures are distorted and have dark corners when in wide angle. I actually bought the lens to make my NEX-5 a pocket camera.
Easily Interchangeable
Dark Corners
Ever since the introduction of its NEX system, Sony has been spoiling its users with diminutively sized cameras that, on their own, put many a Micro Four Thirds offering to shame in terms of sheer dimensions.
I tried both lens on both the NEX-5N and my NEX-5R and it works, but the quality control will be an issue, the silver one was not as sharp nor is the OSS working properly with either camera.
Compact; auto zoom
40.5mm filter size (not normal Sony filter size); no hood; quality control issue
Handling and features Performance Verdict Specification 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.
Good build quality; Compact when collapsed; Lightweight; Effective optical stabilisation; Well priced
Collapsible design adds a delay between switching on the camera and being able to taken an image; Loss of contrast when shooting into the light
