Sony Full-Frame E-Mount 16-35mm Wide-Angle Zoom Lens - SEL1635Z

Product Details
Sony SEL1635Z Full-Frame E-Mount 16-35mm Wide-Angle Zoom Lens
Power through any extended photo session with this Sony 16-35mm f/4 E-mount lens. It's ideal for shooting wide-angle views of buildings or expansive landscapes so that your audience can fully appreciate the world around you. The glass incorporates T* optical coatings to ensure you get the most out of each photo, reducing lens flare, radial blur and chromatic effects substantially, and aspherical lens elements in this E-mount lens precisely target the sensor for edge-to-edge sharpness.
An internal focusing mechanism keeps this wide-angle lens the same length across the entire zoom so that it feels natural in your hand and so that it's easy to handle when shooting video, and axial stabilization means that you can use it even in lower light situations, such in nightclubs and for night shoots. When you're shooting wide open using the f/4 aperture, the circular shape produces creamy bokeh that brings your subject into the foreground, and the iris motor and focusing motors are super quiet so that you can ensure this Sony 16-35mm f/4 E-mount lens won't interrupt your audio soundtrack.
Features
Unmatched ZEISS T* (T-star) coating
Coated optics were pioneered by ZEISS® -- and this superb lens features
the ZEISS T* (T-Star) coating that virtually eliminates lens flare, internal
reflection and light scattering that can otherwise occur at glass-to-air surfaces.
The T* coating contributes to outstanding image quality, with high contrast
and uniformly excellent resolution right out to the image edges. Not simply
applied to any lens—the T* symbol only appears on multi-element lenses
in which the required performance has been achieved throughout the entire
optical path, therefore guaranteeing the highest quality
Circular Aperture
When changing your aperture to defocus the background, the light sources appear
blurred. This ‘bokeh’ effect of the blurred background can be enhanced
with circular aperture blades used in this lens. Conventional aperture blades
have flat sides creating unappealing polygonal shaped defocussed points of
light. Circular aperture overcomes this problem through the use of curved
blades that keeps the aperture almost perfectly circular from its wide-open
setting to when it is closed.. Smoother, more natural defocusing can be obtained
as a result
Aspherical lens elements
Aspherical lens design dramatically reduces spherical aberration while also
reducing lens size and weight. Spherical aberration is a slight misalignment
of the light rays projected on the image plane, caused by differences in refraction
in conventional spherical lenses which degrade image quality in large-aperture
lenses. Specially shaped “aspherical” elements near the diaphragm
restore alignment of light rays at the image plane, maintaining high sharpness
and contrast even at maximum aperture and can also be used at other points
in the optical path to reduce distortion. Well-designed aspherical elements
often requires complex glass molding technology, but can reduce the total
number of elements required, thus reducing overall size and weight
ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass
As focal lengths get longer, lenses built with conventional optical glass
have difficulties with chromatic aberration, and as a result images suffer
from lower contrast, lower color quality, and lower resolution. ED glass dramatically
reduces chromatic aberration and provides superior contrast across the entire
image, even at large aperture settings
Lens-based Optical SteadyShot® image stabilization
Gyro sensors built into the lens detect even the slightest movement, and the
stabilization lens is precisely shifted to counteract any image blur that
might occur. The use of precision, quiet linear motors and technology inherited
from high-end Sony professional camcorders results in exceptionally quiet,
effective image stabilization that contributes to high-quality movies as well
as stills
Dust and moisture resistant design
The dust and moisture resistance design makes this lens appropriate for heavy-duty
outdoor use, especially when combined with a camera that employs weather resistant
measures such as the Sony’s a7 series of cameras
Internal focusing
Only the middle groups of the optical system move to achieve focus, so the
overall length of the lens does not change when focusing. Other important
benefits include fast autofocusing and a short minimum focusing distance.
Also, the filter thread at the front of the lens does not rotate, which is
convenient when using a polarizing filter
