A very negative review of Sony 16-50mm

I agree with the feelings expressed. I have been using this lens with the 5R and found that most if not all aberrations are corrected in camera. Most important, I can fit 5R and lens in my pocket, and bringing it along much easier than the 18-55. I took it for many pictures (HDR and normal) to the top of Empire State Building. I am attaching a picture. It was a very hazy day, but I was impressed by th detail captured and the lack of distortion in an upright linear type of landscape.
