Editorial buying guidance
Who this lens is most likely to serve well.
Best for
- Photographers using a compatible Sony E mount body who need landscapes, interiors and travel scenes
- Buyers wanting the framing versatility of a 16–50mm zoom
- Shoppers willing to compare 4 currently active used offers by condition and total cost
Why it stands out
- The 16–50mm zoom range gives framing flexibility without swapping focal lengths.
- The catalog currently records 4 active used listings, making differences in stated grade and included accessories worth checking.
- Check the maximum aperture stated for this exact model against the light levels and shutter speeds you usually need; stabilization, where fitted, does not freeze moving subjects.
Things to consider
- Confirm the exact Sony E 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 PZ OSS Autofocus APS-C Lens for E-Mount designation: similar focal lengths and apertures can belong to different mounts, generations or product lines.
- The listing identifies an APS-C or smaller-format system or design; check image coverage on your particular camera before assuming full-frame operation.
- Wide framing can exaggerate foreground proportions; verify that the viewing angle suits your subjects.
Compatibility notes
Catalog mount: Sony E mount. Verify camera-model compatibility and the correct format coverage before purchasing. A similarly named optic for a different mount is not an equivalent offer. The listing identifies an APS-C or smaller-format system or design; check image coverage on your particular camera before assuming full-frame operation.
Choosing a used condition
Compare all 4 active listings for this exact 16–50mm lens by glass condition, mechanical operation, autofocus or manual focus as applicable, mount contacts, included hood/caps, return policy and total delivered price. Ask for detail photographs where the seller grade leaves uncertainty.

Additional listing information
The Sony 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 PZ OSS (part# SELP1650) is an ultra compact zoom lens for Sony E Mount mirrorless cameras. Thanks to its clever retracting mechanism, this zoom lens collapses to just 1-3/16" making it the perfect choice for travel and on-the-go shooting when a compact, lightweight lens is ideal.
The powered zoom mechanism makes the lens especially well suited for video work where predictable, smooth and quiet zooming is always welcome. The Power Zoom also saves space and allows a space saving dual function control ring that controls both zooming and manual focus.
The SELP1650 uses 9 elements including one ED (Extra low Dispersion) and four aspherical element to reduce aberrations and deliver superior contrast and quality across the entire image field. OSS Optical SteadyShot image stabilization counteracts image blur caused by camera shake during hand-help shooting.
Also available in silver.
Listed features
