A great everyday APS-C lens for stills and movies
This 16-50 mm (35 mm full-frame equivalent: 24-75 mm) power zoom lens is perfect
for day-to-day stills and movies. Weighs just 3.8 oz. (107 grams) and collapses
to 1-1/4 inch (31.3 mm) when powered off. Durability is excellent, refined AF
ensures reliable focus even while zooming, and built-in image stabilization
minimizes 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 (35 mm full-frame equivalent: 24-75 mm). Color 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.
AF performance that brings out the best in advanced bodies
With an advanced linear motor and high-speed control, the E PZ 16-50 mm 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 120fps continuous
shooting capability of high-performance 9 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 stabilization works with in-body stabilization,
including Active Mode, to minimize blur in movies. Focus breathing is controlled
to minimize 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 for outstanding agility and mobility
The E PZ 16-50 mm F3.5-5.6 OSS II retracts to a total length of just 1 1/4 in
(31.3 mm) when camera power is turned off. In addition to its diminutive size
and low weight of just 3.8 oz. (107 grams), 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, precise 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 16-50 mm
F3.5-5.6 OSS II accepts 40.5 mm screw-on filters.
