Sony e pz 16 50mm f 3 5 5 6 oss ii vs sony 18 50mm f 4 5 6?

I don't have a page for the Sony 18-50mm f/4.5-5.6 on this site, so I can't compare the two fairly. I'd rather not guess at its specs or price.

What I can tell you is about the Sony E PZ 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS II. It's a stabilised, autofocus kit zoom for APS-C bodies, and it frames like 24-75mm on full frame. It fits a long list of Sony E bodies, from the NEX-5T and a6000 up to the a6700 and ZV-E10 II. The original PZ 16-50mm OSS is the earlier version of the same kit zoom.

For a first lens, the kit zoom is a sensible start. The lenses guide explains what to add later.
