Re: 16-50 powerzoom compatibility

I would not bother purchasing the 16-50PZ, I have just returned mine.

The left side,not just the corners,were blurred but the right side was sharp.

This was the same at all focal lengths.

My copy of the 18-55mm is sharp across the frame at all zoom settings,although I had to purchase 3 copies to get that one. Maybe you do the same with the 16-50PZ,buy 3 lenses,choose the best then return the other two!

The 18-55mm has barrel markings for each focal length,which I like. You have to look into the viewfinder or the LCD to see where you are on the 16 50PZ, but maybe I'm old fashioned!

Enjoy your photography......
