The ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* 16–35 mm F2.8 zoom is already a favorite, and now it has been refined for even better performance. With excellent contrast and resolution in ultra-wide focal lengths it offers a dynamic palette of viewpoints and perspectives. The new edition reduces ghosting for improved clarity, lens processing has been revised for faster tracking, and it is dust and moisture resistant.
Prime lens-class resolution and contrast are achieved thanks to three aspherical elements, one super ED element, and one ED glass element in a precision ZEISS optical design.
A constant F2.8 maximum aperture and wide-angle 16–35 mm zoom range make it possible to capture dynamic images in diverse lighting situations.
The SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor) drive system coupled with an internal focus mechanism achieves smooth, silent autofocus operation and fast response.
A focus mode switch and focus hold button on the barrel offer extra focusing versatility and control.
Legendary ZEISS quality manufactured and calibrated specifically for Sony imaging products. The ZEISS T* coating contributes to exquisite rendering and contrast.
MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) describes how well a lens can reproduce fine details, measured as the degree of contrast achieved between finely spaced lines.
