Overview

The Sony SELP1650 16-50mm Power Zoom Lens packs a versatile 3x zoom range into an impressively slim, retractable body. When the camera is powered off, the lens collapses to a remarkably thin profile, making it one of the most portable zoom options in the Sony E-mount system. Turn the camera on, and the Power Zoom mechanism smoothly extends the lens to shooting position, ready to capture everything from wide-angle scenes at 16mm to moderate telephoto detail at 50mm. The dual-function control ring puts zoom and manual focus adjustments at your fingertips without needing to switch between separate rings.

Built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization delivers up to a 4-stop advantage, which is a meaningful benefit for handheld shooting in lower light or when recording video. This renewed version is manufacturer refurbished to meet quality standards and includes all original accessories, backed by a 90-day limited hardware warranty. It is compatible with most Sony NEX E-mount cameras, though Sony advises against pairing it with the NEX-3, NEX-5, and NEX-C3 due to firmware limitations on those older bodies.
