Based on the Zeiss Tessar optical concept, this lens uses a design with 12 elements in ten groups that helps ensure a smaller overall lens size along with reduced flaring, distortion, and chromatic aberrations.

Covering ultra-wide to wide-angle perspectives, this compact 16-35mm will pair nicely with Sony’s full-frame E-mount cameras. I

A constant f/4 maximum aperture offers consistent performance throughout the zoom range and also lends greater control over focus position for shallow depth of field techniques.

Optical SteadyShot image stabilization helps to minimize the appearance of camera shake for sharper imagery when shooting handheld with slower shutter speeds. The stabilization system can also be combined with select camera’s sensor-shift type image stabilization for more effective control of camera blur.

A linear autofocus motor and internal focus design provide quick and precise autofocus performance and enables accurate and silent focusing while recording videos.

Dust- and moisture-sealed design better permits working in inclement conditions and rubberized control rings benefit handling in colder temperatures.

Rounded seven-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality when employing selective focus techniques.
