Designed specifically for APS-C mirrorless camera sensors, the Sony E PZ 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS II Lens provides a compact design with a versatile full-frame equivalent zoom angle of 24-75mm. By incorporating a variable aperture of f/3.5 to 5.6, Sony has managed to maintain a lightweight and portable lens, making it suitable for a wide range of shooting scenarios. Additionally, when the camera is turned off, the lens can retract to a mere 1.25", further enhancing its portability.

The lens boasts quick autofocusing capabilities and an improved Optical SteadyShot image stabilisation system, effectively counteracting any potential camera shake and resulting in sharper and more clear imagery. To ensure optimal image quality throughout the entire zoom range, Sony has included four aspherical elements and one Extra-Low Dispersion element. These elements work together to minimize aberrations and deliver high-resolution imagery.

Furthermore, the E PZ 16-50mm lens supports focus pulling during shooting at up to 120 fps, allowing for smooth and seamless transitions. It also has the capability of autofocus while zooming, which proves particularly useful for capturing moving subjects. With these features, this lens enables intuitive single-person filming with ease.
