An unprecedented wide-angle power zoom lens that combines the high resolution and beautiful bokeh that only G lenses can offer, with excellent all-around operability, all in the world's lightest weight*. The 16-35mm F4 G is an unprecedented wide-angle power zoom lens with an F4 aperture throughout the zoom range, leveraging Sony's long-standing lens design expertise to deliver high performance and exceptional operability in the world's lightest* body. It achieves uncompromising high-quality imaging and exceptional operability. Ideal for video and still photography, it packs the imaging performance and AF performance of G lenses, along with easy-to-use power zoom, into a compact body. The lens length remains constant when zooming or focusing, making it ideal for a variety of scenarios, from vlogging to video production, remote shooting, and landscape photography. (As of March 2022, Sony research). A wide-angle zoom lens with an F4 aperture throughout the zoom range for 35mm full-frame sensors.
Compact yet delivers excellent imaging performance throughout the zoom range. Despite its compact and lightweight design, the latest design delivers imaging performance worthy of the G lens title. The lens's construction, which includes two advanced aspherical (AA) lenses, one aspherical lens, one Super ED (extra-low dispersion) glass element, one ED glass element, and one ED aspherical lens, simultaneously provides excellent correction of chromatic and spherical aberrations. It delivers high optical performance from the center to the periphery across the entire zoom range, from ultra-wide-angle 16mm to 35mm. Optimized coatings effectively suppress ghosting and flare, resulting in sharp, clear images. The lens softens the large bokeh characteristic of full-frame photography, supporting the creation of impressive video works. The circular aperture and optimal spherical aberration correction design softens the large bokeh characteristic of full-frame photography, supporting the creation of impressive video works. The circular aperture features seven aperture blades. Superior close-up shooting performance: The optimized optical design, including the advanced aspherical (AA) lens, enables high-performance close-up shooting with a maximum magnification of 0.23x. Newly designed power zoom for smooth and responsive operation. The newly designed power zoom function offers a comfortable operation approaching that of a standard manual zoom ring. This is the first α lens to use four XD linear motors to drive the zoom group, and the highly efficient actuator design delivers exceptionally responsive control. This allows for highly accurate detection of delicate zoom ring movements, enabling responsive angle adjustments despite the power zoom. This lens is suitable for a wide range of applications and imaging techniques, including stress-free use in situations where fine angle changes were difficult with conventional power zooms. Easily achieve "slow zoom" effects by maintaining a constant speed. The lens features a stepless speed zoom lever on the side. This allows for operations that are difficult to achieve manually, such as slow zooming, while minimizing image shake, allowing for smooth zoom effects even in one-person shooting. Zoom control is possible using the lever or custom button on a compatible camera, or remotely. The power zoom allows for easy zoom control using the lever or custom button on a compatible camera, optional accessories (RMT-P1BT, GP-VPT2BT), and the latest Imaging Edge Mobile app. Even with gimbal shooting, smooth remote zoom control is possible without touching the lens. AF performance enhances user freedom in both still and video shooting. The focus group employs two cutting-edge XD (extreme dynamic) linear motors. High thrust provides fast, quiet, and vibration-free focus drive. This is particularly useful for maintaining smooth subject tracking during high-frame-rate video shooting, or for accurately tracking fast-moving subjects with the α1's high-speed continuous shooting at up to 30 frames per second. It also ensures smooth and quiet subject tracking even while zooming. The world's lightest design without compromise. Every element was thoroughly redesigned using the latest design technology to achieve a compact, lightweight design without sacrificing functionality or performance. Not only does it feature three rings (focus, zoom, and aperture), but it also supports power zoom. Its incredibly compact and lightweight design makes it the world's lightest*, weighing just 353g. It also supports inner zoom and inner focus, which maintains the lens length during zoom and focus. Minimizing fluctuations in center of gravity balance enables stable video recording with a gimbal. Its high mobility makes it a versatile lens for everyday use, regardless of subject, purpose, or scene. (As of March 2022, Sony research.) A wide-angle zoom lens compatible with 35mm full-frame sensors, with an F4 maximum aperture throughout the zoom range. Aperture ring with click control: The aperture ring provides instantaneous aperture adjustment. Click control can be turned on/off with a switch. When the aperture ring's click is off, aperture changes occur seamlessly without a click sound. You can adjust the setting to suit your shooting scene and preferences.
