I ordered the SELP1650 16-50mm Power Zoom Lens as a replacement for the same exact lens that was included with my Sony A6000. The lens is very versatile, small, and has a decent range for a small zoom lens. I had a small accident which caused the zoom ring to have been bent and prevented the lens from being recognized because the zoom barrel was locked in place. In the future, I intend to repair the lens by buying the bent ring, but in the meantime I ordered an exact replacement so I can keep shooting. The lens came promptly and it works just as the kit lens did. Although the merchants description said it was bulk packaging, it was simply a nondescript carton with appropriate Sony labeling. It didnt look like one you would buy as retail in a camera store, but it was labeled as a Sony lens with the appropriate part number, and with Sony documentation. There were also lens caps for the front and back of the lens. Since my camera is Silver, it was the exact same lens as my original kit lens, and it functions just the same. Why 4 stars? Well because it has some of the same downfalls of the original. While flexible for the types of shooting it does, its not as clear as any higher priced lens like Zeiss. All in all, it does a great job just like the kit lens that came with the camera.
