Yep, before buying a simple standardlens for the Sony i actually read this somewhere at that time, and it did make me decide not buy the 16-50.
Our daughter now uses the 18-55 (besides manual lenses) on her A3000. _________________ My Flickr photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/chantalrene/

Is the 18-55 better when it comes to distortion?
Because the 16-50 is a great lens. Besides the distortion at close distance on the wide end I really have no complaints about it.
I am now looking at a wide angle prime. _________________ FLICKR PHOTOSTREAM |

It's been a while when we bought the A3000. Back then we had the choice between the 16 and the latest OSS version of the 18 zoom.
At that time i've been reading lots of reports and reviews about both lenses and the 18-55 came out as the better choice. I didn't use it a lot myself, at some point i bought the A7, but when i did i must admit that it often surprised me in terms of image quality, for a kitlens it really is a very nice piece of optics.
Some other complaints about the 16-50 were it's handling, the 18-55 feels more like a real lens and can be used manually as well, although i cannot judge that fact myself, i've never used the 16-50.
Our daughter is very happy with it, although she keeps grabbing my Konica lenses more and more.....

I use it and have no problems ( jpeg output) Good for a kit . Fits into a larger pocket with the a5000
The distortion in jpeg output is quite normal for a 16mm wide . Very handy lens to carry and use when you want to travel light , not to attract attention , or you're not in a special photo trip and want someting small ,fast, snappy,good enough.
I am using it much too much because all these reasons.The OSS works great! _________________ Cheers ,Teo

It's well corrected on the jpg but as I said, I only shoot RAW
I am going to look out for an alternative. I am researching the Samyang 12, 14 and 16mm. _________________ FLICKR PHOTOSTREAM |

I am very curious about the alternatives ....
I have a Vivitar 17 wich didn't gave too much satisfaction in low light wide open the last time I used it , but maybe I made some mistake . In good light it is ok . I am curious about AF also . What about the Sigma 19 ? Any experience?
In fact , I didn't used it for a long time , looking at some pics I made with it in 2011 it's not bad at all for indoors architecture .I have to use it more often _________________ Cheers ,Teo

I guess, nobody can expect an distortion free correction especially on an fairly cheap zoom lens, such as on the 1650 lens! In general, fairly all zoom lenses have this problem, but not in the middle of their zoom range!
But, if you shoot with the JPG mode, the A6000 camera does correct these problems internally!
These images are hand held panorama images shot with my 1650 lens at 16mm! |
