Sony 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS is extremely popular lens since it comes with your Sony A6000 series cameras. Lots of us disregard it since its so cheap and we think kit lenses are worthless. However, in this video I took it to the streets of beautifully frozen Copenhagen, Denmark to test this lens in different occasions starting from Landscape, Architecture, Portraits and Closeups. Suit for yourself if its good or not.

    @@gamesbymanuel and a very "fast" lens (meaning the one with a wide aperture like f1.4 or f1.8) will help you with low light. But yes, you are right, photography is not a cheap hobby and actually those 2 Sigma lenses I mentioned are considered "cheap" compared to other lenses. Nevertheless, don't let the lack of cash stop you. Do your best and squeeze out the maximum from the gear you have. This is what my channel is about - how to get the most of what you have and work with low budget. You can still make quite good photos as you have seen in this video even with a kit lens. I would have much better photos if I would be out in nature (since I mostly do landscape photography), so do master the craft of photography first and only then think about the upgrade of your lenses. Good luck man!

    No doubt there's better quality lenses, but I always go back to this lens because of it's size and versatility, not that I have many lenses anyway. I have a long zoom lens, a manual focus wide angle lens, and a a few older lenses from a film camera I can attach with an adapter that include a macro lens and a 50mm lens. But a majority of the pictures I take are when I go hiking or am otherwise out and about. Most of the time I want a wider angle lens for most shots I take, but my dedicated wide lens is heavier and not convenient since it's manual focus. I also want to zoom in on some things sometimes so using the wide angle lens only doesn't work. Carrying around the zoom lens definitely wouldn't work. I enjoy taking pictures for fun and try not to sink a ton of money into it, so the kit lens is my most often go to. As I've heard said before, the best camera is the one you have with you. Anything too heavy to carry around on a hike just isn't going to be used. I've taken some pretty nice shots with the kit lens over the years as I've traveled around US national parks and other scenic places.

    Hey Fatih, it sounds like you have a very controlled environment which makes lens' job easier. If you have pro lightning and a tripod then you don't need fancy lens. To be honest, the kit lens would even be good enough. The only exception is if you really need shallow depth of field, then a prime lens would be better but for product photography, I don't see a reason why would you need shallow depth of field. Why don't you try working with your kit lens?

    People wonder if this lens is good but notice how when you buy a A6000 used, you rarely see the kit lens included. Thats because the know they can make more money selling they're used A6000 piece by piece. So thats how I know the kit lens is good.

    Sometimes I doubt whether the photo shown here are actually taken with a kit lens. I have a sonya6000 with kit lens 16-50mm F3.5-F5.6. Try using them to take a lot of photo with different setting, different time of the day, try using BW, using Landscape mode, standard, Seipa, neurtral, Potriat, etc etc, play around with all the button you have.... try creating different mood etc etc.. Wonder if you can share those setting in the video that you took with Kit lens? Wondering the photo posted are flesh from oven without editing?

Do we just usually set to standard or neutral?

    I personally have never used those settings like BW, Landscape, Sepia etc because I think they are very limiting. I believe this video will be a big eye opener for you: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZJaCxaNvp6jMhaQ.html When I switched to RAW it opened a new world for me and almost unlimited possibilities for creativity. When you shoot RAW you can make the picture to look what ever you want it to look like with Lightroom. I think this is why you are having a hard time getting pictures you want (or as you see in my video).

    Its not the best because of several reasons: 1) It does not have constant aperture, which means you will need to adjust the light if you zoom in / out; 2) It does not have a filter thread, it means you can't put on a ND filter and can't achieve cinematic look by applying 180 degree rule; 3) As soon as you zoom in a bit, the f-stop will be f5.6 which is quite poor for wide angle as object will not stand out and everything will be in focus. On a plus side, it has OSS which is nice. Don't get me wrong, you CAN use it for videos, but I would always choose any other lens than this for videos. For photos it is great tho.
