Sony Vario-Tessar T* FE 16-35mm f/4 ZA OSS Lens

Sony's Vario-Tessar T* FE 16-35mm f/4 ZA OSS is a versatile wide-angle zoom lens designed for full-frame E-mount cameras that offers a 35mm equivalent on APS-C format cameras of 24.5-52.5mm. Its constant f/4 aperture is bright and consistent throughout the entire zoom range, allowing you to confidently shoot, regardless of the light conditions. Sony packed this lens with advanced features such as its Optical SteadyShot image stabilization. This technology works to eliminate blur and streaking from camera shake by up to four shutter steps.

There are five aspherical optical elements along with three Extra Low Dispersion (ED) elements, all of which work in concert to reduce chromatic aberrations. A Carl Zeiss T* anti-reflective coating has been applied to the lens elements to minimize lens flare and ghosting while providing enhanced contrast, clarity, and color fidelity. This lens accepts 72mm front-end filters.

Wide-Angle Impact over a Useful Zoom Range

A 16mm to 35mm wide-angle zoom range coupled with effective built-in optical image stabilization makes this lens an excellent choice for snapshots, indoor scenes, group shots, landscapes, and more, especially with a full-frame a7 series body. The ZEISS Vario-Tessar configuration offers outstanding performance in a compact, lightweight design.

Refined Optics Deliver Stunning Images

Superior clarity and minimal distortion are achieved by an advanced optical design that includes one large AA element and three 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.

Constant Exposure at Any Zoom Setting

Constant aperture at all focal lengths means that the user can zoom and shoot at any aperture without having to worry about changes in exposure settings or depth of field, concentrating on the image rather than technical details. Maximum aperture is F4 through the zoom range.

Reliable and Easy In Any Conditions

Reliable operation in a variety of conditions is ensured by a design that prevents dust and moisture from entering the lens.

Sharp and Clear from Corner To Corner

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.

Sharp and Clear In Any Situation

Built-in 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.
