The lens is retractable, which\u00a0is great for carrying the camera concealed and usually bad for image quality. \u00a0I can tell you now is that the Sony 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OOS lens has huge barrel\u00a0distortion and has quite heavy\u00a0vignetting. No complaints,\u00a0great\u00a0result for the retractable zoom for $300.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I waited for it for almost 2 months \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But man, the camera looks so sexy with\u00a0this\u00a0black lens! I’ve \u00a0snapped quick shots in the studio (you can see by the amount of dust on the\u00a0table\u00a0how quick I was:-) \u00a0with lens in and out, check it out:<\/p>\n
