SEL 16-50 was by far, the worse lens that I ever mounted on NEX, and by now I did a few. Speaking about optical quality of course, as software correction is not of interst for me.

However, I am sure, there will be lot of those who will be able to capture great images with it, and only few of those, who are capturing beautiful images already, will choose one deliberately for their work.

I agree completely. The 16-50 is the very worst lens I used in any camera, but people can take great photos with it, with a cell phone, with basically anything.
