I just love how compact and easy to carry it is, the picture quality is superb as well

Great compact lens

Not the sharpest lens I have but very effective and flexible for video and the odd stills.

A nifty little lens APS-C

Great lens. Had a few marks on the glass but works perfectly. I'm happy with it

Awesome lens

Broke within the first week. I went to Alaska right after purchasing it and the power zoom stopped working on the 4th day I was in Alaska. This made the camera unable to recognize the lense thus making the lense inoperable and useless. Thankfully I bought the other 55-200 lense and was able to use that, but that drastically limited the type of shots I was able to take. I purchased an extra warranty and customer service refuses to respond to my emails. It took. Beautiful images before it broke though.

Broke within the first week

Took this puppy on an AC7 all over Tahiti and other Leeward Islands of the Society Islands. Great to street photography ... no one notices where you point your camera. And for the wide open scenes, such as surfing, shooting a pano and stitching it up yields amazing resulting. Not the fastest or sharpest, but makes up for it and more in convenience.

Goes Everywhere!

I purchased the Sony ZV-E10 a few months ago, and so far, I feel it's quite good, whether for taking photos or shooting videos, but the battery capacity is indeed too small.

great features

This lens took some pretty decent photos.  It's not the best, but it does a good job in cases where I use it on a cheaper camera body, and I take it out on a friends boat (and if it falls in the water) or if it get stolen while traveling. (It's compactness is great), then it's not the end of the world as opposed to losing a GM set up.

Not a bad little lens

The lens is nice. It has a zoom feature on it that works great with taking video. The lens performance in low light is not good.

Good lens

It had very bad quality photos compare to mobile photos

Useless item comes with camera and produce low qua

Just not even worth a review, they wanted more info just can't think of anything good

Sony 16-50 OSS

I bought the 16-50 lens as a kit with the a6400 camera. I have set the camera to use digital zoom on top of the lens zoom and it's pretty pleasing the results. I have more to learn but I can't find and faults.

Can't fault this lens

More than enough for a beginner whether your taking photos or making videos you'll get everything you need out of this lens

More than enough

Brought this with a lice6700 camera they worked really well together

Great small kit lens

Not much to say apart from do not pruchase this lens

Sony - E PZ 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSS

Bought this with my Sony a6400. It does a job but the quality is ok. Considering it's the kit lense I think it could offer better value/quality. It's small and compact works well in that way but a little better image quality would be a mice touch to the package.

User friendly lense

For a kit lens I was impressed with the sharpness of images and how smoothly the a.f works

Fast autofocus

A very small lens with great pictures and ease of use.

Great lens

The E PZ 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSS kit lens that came with the camera does not get the best review but as seen in the architectural photos it does a very good job with a little care when taking the photo. Overall I'm really happy with this little lens and will be sticking with it for hopefully many years to come.

Great little lens

Its a good lens for both pictures and videos but when it comes to video recording you can hear the noise when zooming in/out (atleast for me on the sony a6400 without external microphone because currently i dont have an external microphone)

Noise in videos

Used this lens for about a month works well and picture quality is good

Sony E PZ 16-50 lens

Very good quality necessary for Sony a6000 cameras

excellent

I bought this lens with the A6000 camera body at a very competitive price, along side the obviously more expensive Sony SELP18105G f4 fixed aperture lens. I like the super-compact proportions of the lens which allow the camera+lens to be stashed in a very small camera bag [at an exceptionally low carry weight] and cover all-the-bases for everyday use. It's a great add-on to the A6000 camera body without the bulk of the 18-105mm lens. There's some chatter from the zoom/focus motor. However, if you can get past that [and combine it with Sony's affordable Lens Correction App] it's an all round winner....!

An under rated lens that punches above it's weight

This lens came with my A6400 but I would have bought it anyway. A lovely unobtrusive companion to the slim bodied camera which gives me the ability to use such a powerful combination in a way I've only been able to do with a compact.
I love the image stabilisation as it allows me to use narrow apertures without compromising sharpness and detail.
The power zoom is quick and smooth in use.
Ideal for informal gatherings and travel photography.

A wonderfully slim lens

This lens is, in concept, an excellent lens for the Sony 600 series cameras for around town and for indoor photography. It distorts very littel but very bad vignetting is a recurrent problem. The vignetting seems to be independent of the aperture used and although Lightroom wil correct it the inevitable cropping of the frame is irritating. 5 stars for its compactness, lightness and range of focal length but 2 stars off for the vignetting

Good compact lens but bad vignetting

I obtained this lens as part of an ILCE-6000L kit. The day after I purchased the kit I took the A6000 with this lens on a trip and over a period of 2 hours or so I shot 74 pictures at various focal lengths and apertures. The definition in all cases was very soft with the centre of the frame disappointing and the edges totally unacceptable. 

I have now disposed of this lens (after just 5 days) in part exchange for a vastly superior Sony Lens with which I am very happy.

Very Disappointing

I honestly think this is a great starter lens. For someone who is starting back in to non-phone photography, I didn?t want anything too overwhelming to start with.
It?s small, light, easy to attach and pretty much is good to go straight out the box. 
I took this on its first outing recently and was really pleasantly surprised with the results. Yes the image quality could be a touch sharper, but honestly unless your zooming in after to look at tiny details, it?ll be more than enough for the average eye.
For the price, I think it?s a great addition to your camera setup.
For reference I used it on a Sony a6100.
