SELP-1650
NEX Lens (E 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSS)
Compact and lightweight design
Despite a 3x magnication ratio covering 16 mm to 50 mm (24-75mm 35mm eq.), the SELP-1650
is thin and lightweight thanks to a retracting mechanism that reduces the lens to just 3/16” (29.9
mm). It truly enhances the portability of E-mount cameras, giving users the means to capture
spontaneous moments when on trips with a light and compact camera/lens combination.
POWER ZOOM for smooth zooming
The SELP-1650 is the rst lens with an electrically driven zoom mechanism. As soon as the camera
is powered on, the lens extends and is instantly ready for shooting. A dual-function control ring is
used for both zooming and manual focus.
ED glass and Aspherical lens elements
The SELP-1650 is equipped with one ED and four Aspherical elements, resulting in a highperformance lens that is surprisingly compact. The elements correct for curvature of eld on the
wide-angle side and spherical and chromatic aberration on the telephoto side for beautiful,
accurate, high-contrast reproduction across the entire image.
Built-in Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization
The built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization system provides a 4-stop (approx.) shutter
speed advantage, making it signicantly easier to achieve crisp, blur-free images and video.
