https://community.sony.ba/t5/alpha-nex-interchangeable-lens-cameras/broke-my-sony-selp1650-lens/m-p/1272594#M3579 Sorry to hear, I would recommend not forcing anything too much. If you purchased it locally/recently, take it back and speak to the supplier. It sounds like some sort of malfunction but wouldnt say its going to happen again and again. The 16-50 is a cracking kit lens so would say its worth trying again.

Basically it will work but sometimes gets stuck and wont retract properly, then says lens not recognised.
