A very negative review of Sony 16-50mm

I have a really hard time understanding how the reviewer can be using an NEX camera, and at the same time bash the "vociferous section of the photographic internet who clamour constantly for gear to be as small as possible." The point of the NEX is APS-C quality as compact as possible. This makes the 16-50 a natural addition to the NEX family, and if you're going to sacrifice in the name of size, it seems to me that flaws like distortion and vignetting that are largely software correctable is the right place to do it.
