SELP1650 - update!

So, the old kit-lens got an update earlier this year! Who want to join me, figuring out if the AF is better now :)
I wanted to make a youtube video before and after update, but didn't have time.
Now it's updated, and I will slap it on my A6600 to give it a try!
Just for fun, join in, and post photos/videos/comments here!

I use 1650 only when I need the camera and the lens pocketable, or I need wider than 18 mm, or at gatherings where I don't want to draw attention. In these situations with pocketable, or attention I put 1650 on A5100. I don't care about autofocus improvement of 16-50 as I use the 18-135 as my every day lens. I updated 1650 without questions. If Sony says that it's better I take it. A test that would show the difference in autofocus, before and after, for both speed and accuracy would require specialized equipment and time.
It's also possible that the lens being for 10 years on the market, it needed an update to keep up with A6100, A6400, 6600 autofocus capabilities. Sony could not update to v2 just the current production without users screaming for update on the already sold lenses. It's also possible that lens update is effective on the newer cameras with fast autofocus, but not much difference on older cameras released in 2014-2016, thinking of A5100, A6000. But, if it makes a difference for the better, even a little bit, why not? To quantify the difference? Good luck.

I don't find any rumors about it.
Please clarify the source of news?
For me more interesting updating lense 16-70m2

It's not a rumor, there is an update available for 1650. I updated mine.

It's a firmware update released earlier on in the year.
Not a rumour, just a fact .
If you have one , go to Sony's website and update yours .
What improvements are made depends on the camera body it's mounted to .

Seems to wake up quicker on the NEX 7 .
Faster overall on the NEX 6 .
Not got around to trying it on the a6600 or a7Riv.

Interesting and unexpected!

Faster wakeup, thats great. All my selp1650s also tend to close slowly after I shutdown the camera. Interesting!

Yes, I would like to to a pre-and-after test. I think I have one other lens laying around, if not, my "review" (coming later) will depend only by the feel of it.

So? Will AF be better on A6600 or A6000? I will try both :)
