Frequently Bought Together
Recently Viewed
Does the Vario-Tessar T* FE 16–35mm F4 ZA OSS handle distortion well?
Yes. Superior resolution throughout the image area and an absolute minimum of distortion are achieved by an advanced optical design that features five aspherical elements, including one large AA (advanced aspherical) element and three ED elements.
Is this lens a good choice for landscapes and architecture?
Absolutely. Its 16–35mm wide-angle zoom range, corner-to-corner sharpness, and minimal distortion make it well suited for landscapes, cityscapes, interiors, and architecture, and the ZEISS T* coating helps maintain crisp, natural contrast.
Does the FE 16–35mm F4 ZA OSS have image stabilization?
Yes. It features built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization, which compensates for camera shake and lets you capture sharp night scenes or dim indoor shots handheld without boosting ISO and risking increased noise.
What is the maximum aperture of this lens?
The lens has a constant F4 maximum aperture throughout the entire zoom range, so you can zoom and shoot at any aperture without worrying about changes in exposure settings or depth of field.
Is the Vario-Tessar T* FE 16–35mm F4 ZA OSS weather-sealed?
Yes. It has a design that prevents dust and moisture from entering the lens, ensuring reliable operation in a variety of conditions.
What camera bodies is this lens designed for?
It is a ZEISS full-frame E-mount (FE) wide-angle zoom that pairs especially well with full-frame Alpha 7 series bodies. You can confirm compatibility using Sony's camera-to-lens compatibility tool linked on the product page.
What optical elements make this lens sharp from corner to corner?
The lens combines five aspherical elements, including one large AA (advanced aspherical) element, with three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements to deliver high-precision shots and detailed rendering without the bulk typically associated with similar DSLR lenses.
How much does the Vario-Tessar T* FE 16–35mm F4 ZA OSS cost?
