Lense decision

[oxmav3rickxo]

My old NEX 5n got stolen a few months back with my 16mm pancake on it so now im getting myself a NEX 6 and wondering if i should get the 16mm f2.8 pancake (sel16f28) which i liked alot, but i see now that they came out with a 16-50mm power zoom lens (selp1650). i want to keep this particular lense small and compact.

any opnions on which is better and why would be apreeciated... thanks you

Hmm, I have been looking to get a NEX-5n ... and no, I have not been in the NY area so it wasn't me.
I like the 16mm pancake but it doesn't have the greatest reviews on IQ. The 16-50mm appears to be a better IQ lens and it is also short. Personally, if I wanted E-mount lenses, I would get the zoom.
