Sony E PZ 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSS

Got 2 versions 1 silver 1 black SELP1650

I tried both lens on both the NEX-5N and my NEX-5R and it works, but the quality control will be an issue, the silver one was not as sharp nor is the OSS working properly with either camera.

Compact; auto zoom

40.5mm filter size (not normal Sony filter size); no hood; quality control issue
