Ultra-Compact Power Zoom Standard Lens – 24-75mm Full-Frame Equivalent Focal Range, Retractable Pancake Profile Measuring Just 1.25″ When Powered Down, Upgraded Optical SteadyShot (OSS) Image Stabilization, Fast AF Tracking Supporting Focus Pulling Up to 120 fps, Continuous Autofocus While Zooming, Four Aspherical Elements & One Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) Element, Integrated Power Zoom Lever, Native APS-C Sony E-Mount (Good Condition)
The Sony E PZ 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS II is an ultra-compact, retractable standard power zoom lens designed specifically for APS-C-format Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. Covering a flexible 24-75mm full-frame equivalent field of view, this second-generation “pancake” zoom pairs an ultra-slim, travel-ready form factor with advanced video and still imaging capabilities. When powered down, the optical barrel retracts to a slender 1.25 inches, making it an ideal companion for lightweight everyday walkaround shooting, casual vlogging, street documentation, and compact gimbal setups.
The redesigned optical formula incorporates four precision aspherical elements and one extra-low dispersion (ED) element, suppressing spherical aberrations, distortion, and chromatic fringing to produce crisp edge-to-edge sharpness and accurate color across the focal spectrum. Upgraded Optical SteadyShot (OSS) image stabilization mitigates handheld camera shake, ensuring sharp results in low-light environments and smooth handheld video capture. Engineered for modern hybrid content creators and solo operators, the second-generation autofocus drive supports continuous autofocus tracking while actively zooming and maintains rapid focus acquisition during high-frame-rate video capture up to 120 fps. Featuring an integrated barrel power zoom rocker switch alongside a dual-purpose control ring, the lens delivers smooth, variable-speed electronic zooming for fluid cinematic transitions.
CONDITION DIAGNOSTICS & PHYSICAL NOTES
Included Components: COMPLETE LENS OUTFIT. Supplied with the Sony E PZ 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS II lens, front snap-on lens cap, and Sony E-mount rear cap. (Protective filters and camera bodies sold separately).
Exterior & Physical Status: GOOD CONDITION. The matte black composite barrel and retractable inner tube show moderate signs of handling and regular field use, including light finish rubbing, superficial scuffs, and minor cosmetic wear along high-contact edges. The knurled control ring and power zoom lever remain fully intact with crisp detents. All printed focal length indexes, Sony brand markings, and optical labels remain clear and legible.
Optical Status: GOOD CONDITION. Front and rear optical glass surfaces are clean and free of deep scratches, cleaning marks, haze, fungus, or element separation. Inspection may reveal minor superficial cleaning wisps or faint, typical internal dust motes that do not compromise image contrast, sharpness, or final capture quality.
Mechanical & Electronic Status: FULLY FUNCTIONAL. The motorized barrel extension and retraction cycle smoothly upon camera power toggle; the electronic power zoom rocker and manual focus/zoom control ring respond with fluid, proportional resistance; internal autofocus tracks moving subjects accurately and supports up to 120 fps capture; Optical SteadyShot engages silently and stabilizes frame composition; the variable aperture diaphragm actuates cleanly without hesitation; electronic bayonet contacts communicate with host Sony Alpha bodies without error.
