Key Features
A great APS-C lens for stills and movies
This 16-50 mm (35mm full-frame equivalent: 24-75 mm) power zoom lens is ideal for day-to-day stills and movies. It weighs just 107 grams (3.8 oz.) and retracts to 31.3 mm (1-1/4 inch) when powered off. Refined AF ensures reliable focus while zooming, and built-in image stabilisation minimises blur. Breathing compensation is supported with compatible bodies .
Excellent optical performance
Four aspherical elements and one ED (Extra low Dispersion) element in a 9-element 8-group optical design contribute to high resolution throughout a 16-50 mm zoom range (35mm full-frame equivalent: 24-75 mm). Colour bleeding is minimal, clarity is excellent, and smooth bokeh is available when needed.
Natural bokeh emphasises the subject
The E PZ 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSS II features a 7-blade circular aperture unit that helps to create natural-looking bokeh that can make subjects stand out without being distracting.
Get close to capture details
With a minimum focusing distance of 0.25 m (0.82 ft) (wide)/0.30 m (0.99 ft) (tele) and maximum magnification of 0.215x, the E PZ 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSS II offers versatile close-up performance that lets you move in close and focus on details when shooting table-top subjects, for example.
Maximum AF performance from a bodies
With an advanced linear motor and high-speed control, the E PZ 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSS II easily captures active children or animals at photogenic moments. Superior tracking performance supports the high-speed 120 fps continuous shooting capability of high-performance a9 III, as well as 4K 120p/FHD 240p high frame rate movie recording. Focus is smooth, precise, and quiet.
Advanced movie features
Smooth, quiet power zoom is ideal for movies, with reliable AF while zooming. Built-in stabilisation works with in-body stabilisation, including Active Mode, to minimise blur in movies. Focus breathing is controlled to minimise distracting shifts in angle of view while focusing for exceptionally smooth, stable footage.
Go-anywhere agility and mobility
The E PZ 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSS II retracts to a total length of just 31.3 mm (1-1/4 inch) when camera power is turned off. In addition to its diminutive size and low weight of just 107 grams (3.8 oz.), it is a durable lens that can withstand the rigors of day-to-day shooting.
Flexible control in a compact lens
An integrated zoom and focus ring allows fast, accurate zooming or focusing depending on the needs of the moment. Power zoom can be controlled by a zoom lever that allows smooth, constant-speed zoom operation. The E PZ 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSS II accepts 40.5 mm screw-on filters. [1] Zoom/Focus ring [2] Zoom lever
