Sony 16-35mm f/4 ZA FE OSS Vario-Tessar T* (SEL-1635Z)

A creative tool in the hands of the skilled owner of Sony E system full-frame mirrorless cameras, positioned for shooting landscapes, interiors and architecture. The lens covers a wide-angle focal length range of 16-35mm and boasts a consistent maximum aperture of f/4 throughout the entire zoom range. The body of the Sony 16-35mm f/4 ZA FE OSS Vario-Tessar T* is made of metal and is claimed to be dust and moisture resistant.

From the controls on the lens there is a zoom ring and electronic focus. You can turn the optical stabilizer on and off through the camera menu. The internal construction of the model is composed of 12 elements in 10 groups. The optical design includes 5 aspherical lenses to eliminate wide-angle distortion and 3 ED glass elements with low dispersion to reduce chromatic aberrations. The autofocus motor “under the hood” of the lens allows you to focus from a distance of 28 cm. The front lens block at the “width” moves forward a little when zooming (by about 2 cm), but it does not rotate, which opens up the possibility of using filters caliber 72 mm. The lens weighs a little more than half a kilogram.
