A compact, lightweight, high-performance wide-angle zoom lens compatible with 35mm full-frame cameras. This compact, lightweight, high-performance wide-angle zoom lens was newly developed to fully utilize the performance of the α7 series. Zeiss's Vario-Tessar lens is well-suited to the compact size requirement, enabling high-resolution, high-contrast images. Superior image quality thanks to five aspherical lenses, three ED glass elements, and Zeiss T* (T-Star) Coating. The lens boasts five aspherical lenses, including an advanced aspherical AA (AA) lens made using Sony's proprietary advanced molding technology, and three ED glass elements. This lens delivers exceptional optical performance, delivering crystal-clear resolution right to the edges of the image and faithful color reproduction with minimal distortion. Furthermore, the T* (T-Star) Coating minimizes reflections and delivers high-contrast imaging performance, enabling professional landscape photography. Achieve a user-friendly f/4 aperture throughout the entire zoom range. The constant f/4 aperture allows you to capture images with the desired aperture. Even when shooting at the telephoto end, you can use f/4, allowing you to shoot at faster shutter speeds without increasing the ISO sensitivity unnecessarily. The circular aperture also produces beautiful bokeh effects. Optical Image Stabilization: This lens covers a wide-angle range from 16mm to 35mm, yet is equipped with optical image stabilization. This lens is ideal for a wide range of situations, from landscape photography to everyday snapshots, indoor photography, and group photo shoots.
Dust- and Weather-Resistant Design: It's designed to prevent dust and water from entering. Its construction is durable enough for even the toughest professional use. *Although the lens is dust- and weather-resistant, it does not completely prevent dust and water from entering.
