Sony SELP1650 16-50mm lens teardown and repair 

I have the same problem. Any luck finding parts?

thanks, heaps i will endeavour to do another take on this lens with a better setup for the camera i have built a rig that can sit above me while i work so that the camera is secure and i can just work. while i do more repairs i have 4 more lenses i have bought to do plus camera and more

Hi, thanks for your video -I've found it really useful. I've got stuck on the part at 7:20 minutes in - my ring doesn't seem to turn then stop like yours did - it just moves about 3 mm then stops. It doesn't look broken. I'd really appreciate any ideas!!

Hi Eric, I have just done the operation :) ! 1. Remove the little sticker ring of the rim of the focus ring, revealing three little holes and the plastic lock-ring it sits on. 2. On this inner lock ring there is a 1cm piece which is a little more flexible. There should be a little gap to the left and right of it 3. Align one of the three holes of the focus ring with the left gap of the inner lock-ring, and use a small flat head-screw driver to lock the two in position. Then twist counter clockwise on focus ring for about 1cm 4. You will now be able to detach the focus ring + lock-ring. You should now be able to proper see the small little 1cm piece holding the lock-ring in place. This itself is detachable and only held in place by the same felt-ring like the rest of the lock-ring. 5. Simply flip it off gently and get in between the lock-ring and the focus-ring with a small flat-head screw driver. Not bend the plastic lock-ring gently and get it out. Make sure you don't break the little felt ring it is attached to. 6. Now you can clean both surfaces from sand. Use a Q-Tip. After re-grease slightly to assure proper motion. 7. The little black marks you see on the inside work together with an optical sensor. On my lense, half of my marks have been worn off because of the sand! I simply drew them back on with a marker pen. 8. Put everything back together. Clean the rim of the focus ring from any grease to make sure that the sticker ring will stick properly after. Took me about 20mins to figure out the mechanism and another 10min to clean the ring. Good Luck.

Wow, thank you for the Tutorial! This will definitely help someone else in the future! I sold the camera on Sunday, so I don’t have to do it anymore haha 😂

@@Eric-pi2rn I hope so :) ! If you happened to sell the lens together with the camera, maybe let the buyer know about the fix. Sure he'll be happy!

Same here..

SO THE RING HAS TO BE GLUED TO THE BOTTOM PART? CAN YOU TELL ME PLEASE?

bummer, I'd have had you send to me rather than throw in the trash :D

+bechigi not repairable once the tabs break it's game over

I don't get it. You also said that you replaced the ring. Like video clips, I ordered the internal tab and I would like to exchange the rings on the outside. I couldn't understand the ending of the tap. This is to remind you to replace the ring.

+bechigi I'm not sure what ring your talking about buddy the internal ring is the only one that holds it all together

It's hard to follow, i didn't try it anyway, i don't have the ring to replace. But now i know what it is, the mistery is over, and thanks for that! Now try to find someone here in Chile who could help me. Be cool! Keep up ;)
