- In this video, I show you step by step how to disassemble, repair, and reassemble a Sony E PZ 16-50mm kit lens.
If your lens is stuck or jammed and you see a message saying something along the lines of “Cannot recognize lens. Attach it properly”, then this video should help you to repair it.

just picked up this lens with a bent barrel because it was dropped. a minor miracle to find this repair video to dissemble the exact lens, because the risk of me destroying it in doing so is high LOL i thank you in advance...
incredibly underated. Way simpler and WAY MORE clear than the most viewed current video on this lens.
No se nada de inglés, pero te agradezco mucho por la ayuda, me costó entender, pero gracias a tus indicaciones practicas, pude arreglar mi lente, i love so much
Pd: Saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱
Your video was a big help. Thank you.
Thanks man a lot! I managed to repair mine thanks to you! Best explanation ever! This vid deserves a lot more
That's the one of the best repair video i found on YT. Very clear and to the point video. i followed your video and replaced the ring. good news my zoom starts working but focus(AF/MF) does not works. any suggestion or help?
i think i figured it out. the focus flex cable has sharp bend where the tiny connection might be broken.
You can get a replacement flex cable on AliExpress for about €7, if yours is damaged.
@@BartechTV thanks for the reply! I already ordered now waiting.
🙇 Thank you very much. I was just able to put mine together after carefully watching your video. you are great. Keep up the good work.
Hi Bartech, Thanks for being the only video that even tackles this...lifesaver mate! Only issue I'm having is getting the inner barrel pins to "Click" as per 7:46. Tried so many times and they just won't. The mechanism rotates, but when it doesn't click, the other parts fall out and I have to start all over again. Driving me slowly insane
That's probably the most difficult part of the whole procedure. The click is just the sound of the metal pins dropping into the gap at the top of the groove on the inner barrel. All I can suggest is making sure that everything is lined up exactly as you see in the video at 7:44, with the metal pins just above the left corner of the triangle indentation on the inner barrel. Then, holding the front of the lens stationary in your left hand. hold the inner barrel in your right hand and rotate the inner barrel towards you. The metal pins will slide along the top of the inner barrel, until they reach the gap, and then they will drop into the groove, with a click sound. Once they drop in, it's just a case of rotating the inner barrel the other way, away from you, while guiding the pins along the groove until everything collapses together. I know how frustrating it is, I spent literally 2 days with my lens in pieces on the first lens I tried to repair, but it gets easier with practice. Just be patient, and persevere.
Thanks for the reply and the advice. You sir are a class act 🤩
@@JustFluke hello, did you get pass into the problem? I cant seem to click it just like in the video.
As a YT Videographer I know the value of likes, so I added a 👍. I use a Sony camcorder so this tut didn't pertain to me, but I find the Sony repair videos fascinating. I had planned to upgrade to an A6700 but really need advice on a longer range Sony PZ lens. 16-50mms to short since I am not a vlogger.
The Sony 18-105mm is a nice lens for video, with a very useful focal range and constant f4 aperture.
Why wont the front lens assembly slide over the inner barrel on the curve part along the groove. It slides up the curve but not down so I cannot even get to the diagonal groove.
Hi, my camera has a problem with the barrel. When I have reached at the 3:00 mark, my barel does not go up and down. It is stuck in the halfway mark with the barel out and theres nothing I can do as the gear isnt turning. Any ideas?
did u find a fix
Thanks, an easy and well demonstrated fix
At 2:43 while lifting it up I broke/detached the flex cable connection to the small black box(little connector) like thing🤦using glue will fix it?? Or do I need to solder it...or they use some other kind of chemical to make a connection?? Any idea??
Hi. I’m finding the step at 6:16 impossible - you make it look easy but I just cannot keep the two pins level because the inner part moves and I can’t keep it secure with my fingertips. So frustrating!!!
Helpful
Excellent tutorial!
So my front housing is stuck. Is there a way to get this to slide freely? It doesnt slide at all for my lens
nice and clear video
How do you access the aperture? The aperture rings on my Sony 35mm 1.8 are stuck. Internally it looks pretty similar to this lens. However I can’t find any video that goes far enough to reach the aperture. If anyone has any advice I’d much appreciate it.
I’m stuck in this part 7:34 it just won’t slide in…
hello man, you video was super usefull, I found the problem, a little flange in the big barrel is broken, exist a replacement for this entire barrel ? min 6:09
Yes you can find a replacement barrel on AliExpress. A set of both barrels costs about €15
Hello mate, I have a Sony E 1.8/11, which has a scratch. The images and video look fine, but I'm looking to sell it. Is there a way to replace the glass only? Thanks for any input.
Sadly Sony doesn't sell parts like glass elements, and I can't find any sellers on AliExpress or Ebay. Maybe you could look out for another SEL11F18 that's being sold as broken, and buy it just to harvest the front element.
Snapped the ribbon cable at 4:23. Can you replace it?
You can find replacement flex cables on AliExpress - aliexpress.com/i/1005003065762041.html
Does this lens have a slight wobble in the zoom part piece? I bought used one and dont know if its faulty or is this factory quality
You mean the power zoom lever on the side of the lens? It shouldn't wobble, it should be quite securely attached. Maybe the little plastic tab that holds it in place has snapped off.
@@BartechTV I mean the tube that holds lens. It extends when you power the camera. It has 0.5mm wobble like in cheap toy
@@BartechTV I don't normally force bend it, but it also rattles when I shake the camera. Thats why I noticed it
