A Great APS-C Lens
This 16-50 mm (35mm full-frame equivalent: 24-75 mm) power zoom lens is perfect for day-to-day stills and movies. It weighs just 107 grams (3.8 oz.) and collapses to 31.3 mm (1-1/4 inch) when powered off. Durability is excellent, refined AF ensures reliable focus even 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 an innovative optical design achieve high resolution throughout a 16-50 mm zoom range (35mm full-frame equivalent: 24-75 mm). Colour bleeding is minimal, clarity is high, and smooth bokeh is available when needed. Min. focus at 0.25 m (0.82 ft) (wide)/0.30 m (0.99 ft) (tele) and 0.215x max. magnification offer versatile close-up performance that lets you move in and focus on details.
Advanced AF Performance
With an advanced linear motor and high-speed control, the E PZ 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSS II makes it easier to photograph active children or animals at photogenic moments. Superior tracking performance supports the high-speed 120 fps continuous shooting capability of high-performance α9 III, as well as 4K 120p/FHD 240p high frame rate movie recording. Focus is smooth, precise, and very quiet.
Advanced Movie Features
Smooth, quiet power zoom is ideal for movie shooting, and AF is available even while zooming. Built-in optical stabilisation works with in-body stabilisation, including Active Mode, to minimise blur in movies. Focus breathing is controlled to minimise shifts in angle of view while focusing for smooth, stable footage. Body breathing compensation is supported, and metadata allows compensation during editing.
Compact and Lightweight
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
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.
