..any issues with this lens.. looking for a small lens on NEX for wife handbag, I was auto thinking of the 16mm prime but a short zoom will probably serve the good lady better but a few mixed reviews on t'web..

Nope, I've brought mine to Florida with me on my A6000 as a walkabout zoom and its delivering good results. Focus tracking is excellent and sharpness is also good even in lower light.

cheers, I think I have weeded out some of the mixed reviews and I think the problem is with the older Nex's and with the wife having a C3 we fall into that category..

darn it..

It will do the job, good center sharpness, corners are poor espcially at 16mm. Even stopped down to f8-f11 its still soft. But it is what it is, a kit lens made to be small and built to a price.

I've been very happy with my copy on the A6000.
Only issue is shooting towards the sun, no hood so have to watch out for flare.
Otherwise it's great for a zoom that's so light and compact when powered down.

Had a few on various Sonys. Great lens considering cost and size advantage.

I've just transferred this to my phone as an example. Obviously it's good light but the 16-50 delivers a good mix of small size, lightweight and wide angle.
