Sony 16-70mm f4 ZEISS

16-70mm f4 SONY lens ZEISS Vario Tessar T* OSS

The Vario-Tessar T*E 16-70mm f/4 ZA OSS Lens from SONY, which covers wide landscapes and tight portraits, is an excellent choice for all APS-C format E-mount cameras. It offers a very versatile 24-105mm equivalent zoom range and even features a constant f/4 aperture for consistent performance. In addition, by using an extra-low dispersion element, an Advanced Aspherical and three aspherical elements, users will enjoy sharp images without aberrations. In addition, the lens benefits from ZEISS 's T* anti-reflective coating to effectively remove ghosting and eruptions.
For fast and quiet autofocus, the 16-70mm is equipped with a linear motor and uses an internal focus design. It also has SteadyShot optical image stabilization to reduce the effects of camera movement, especially at longer focal lengths. In addition, the lens can be focused as close as 13.8" and has a seven-blade circular diaphragm for smooth bokeh.
Based on the optical concept ZEISS Tessar, this lens uses a design with 16 elements in 12 groups that helps ensure a smaller overall lens size along with decreased combustion, distortion and chromatic aberrations.
A versatile mid-range zoom for APS-C format E-mount cameras, this 16-70mm lens provides a 24-105mm short-angle telephoto focal length that works for anything from sprawling landscapes to tight portraits and distant subjects.
A constant maximum aperture of f/4 offers consistent performance throughout the zoom range and also provides greater control over focus position for shallow depth of field techniques.
Anti-reflective T* ZEISS coatings have been applied to each lens surface to help minimize reflections to provide greater image clarity, contrast and color fidelity.
Included in the lens design is a very low dispersion glass element to help reduce chromatic aberrations and color stripes for greater clarity and color neutrality.
Four aspherical elements, including an advanced aspherical (AA), are incorporated into the lens design to reduce astigmatism, field curvature, coma, and other monochromatic aberrations.
SteadyShot optical image stabilization helps minimize the appearance of camera motion for sharper images when shooting portable devices with slower shutter speeds. This stabilization system can also be combined with camera sensor change type image stabilization for more effective control of camera blur.
The linear autofocus motor and internal focus design provide fast and accurate autofocus performance and enable accurate and quiet focusing while shooting videos.
The rounded seven-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasant bokeh quality when using selective focusing techniques.
