Sony Vario-Tessar T* FE 16-35mm Wide Angle Zoom f/4.0 ZA OSS - E-Mount

This full frame E-mount 16–35 mm ZEISS Vario-Tessar Zoom offers outstanding performance in a compact, lightweight package. A versatile zoom range coupled with built-in optical image stabilization makes it a great choice for snapshots, indoor scenes, group shots, landscapes, and more, especially with a full-frame α7 series body. A constant F4 maximum aperture facilitates exposure and depth-of-field control.

• Wide angle impact over a useful zoom range
• High performance optics
• Constant f/4.0 exposure at any zoom setting
• Sharp and clear image stabilization

This lens is compatible with E-Mount Full Frame cameras and E-Mount APS-C cameras.

AA (advanced aspherical), aspherical, and ED optical elements add up to superior corner-to-corner performance with low distortion and color aberration. T* coating minimizes flare and ghosting. It also contributes to exquisite rendering and contrast. Maximum aperture is F4 at all focal lengths so the user can zoom and shoot at any aperture without having to keep track of changes in exposure settings or depth of field.

Image Stabilization with Optical SteadyShot

Optical SteadyShot image stabilization compensates for camera shake that can blur images when shooting handheld. Sharp, clear night scenes or indoor shots in dim lighting can be captured without the need to boost ISO sensitivity and risk increased noise.

Refined Optics

Superior clarity and minimal distortion are achieved by an advanced optical design that includes (1) large AA element and (3) ED elements. The legendary ZEISS® T* (T-star) coating enhances performance even further by effectively suppressing reflections so that crisp, natural contrast is maintained, especially when shooting landscapes.

Aspherical lens technology maximizes portability without sacrificing imaging power. The lens combines five aspherical elements (including one AA — advanced aspherical lens), with 3 ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements to deliver high-precision shots and breathtaking rendering — without the bulky design usually associated with similar DSLR lenses.

The rounded, 7-blade diaphragm on this Sony Vario-Tessar 16-35mm provides a pleasing bokeh effect.

Autofocus AF Abilities

The AF features on this Sony 16-35mm zoom incorporate well with the Sony Alpha 7 and a7ii cameras. Results with other cameras may vary. Also includes accurate, silent focusing during video capture.
