Vario-Tessar T* E 16-70mm F4 ZA OSS Lens

With the latest advances in optical design technology, this lens delivers stunning Carl Zeiss contrast and clarity. The four aspherical elements and one ED glass element combine to give you breathtaking rendering. This versatile zoom range is perfect for a variety of situations, from wide-angle group shots to telephoto close-ups. The Optical SteadyShot image stabilization system gives you clear, sharp images and videos, even when you’re shooting in low light or at high speeds.

Circular Aperture

With this lens, you'll be able to create stunning images with beautiful background bokeh. Thanks to the lens' circular aperture blades, light sources appear blurred in a natural, smooth way that enhances your photos and videos. Whether you're shooting landscapes or portraits, this lens is a versatile tool that will help you capture amazing moments.

ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass

This lens is perfect for a variety of photography genres, from landscape to portrait to action shots. The ED glass construction ensures razor-sharp images with stunning contrast and vibrant colors. Plus, the Super ED glass minimizes chromatic aberration for even better results.

Aspherical lens elements

With its specially shaped "aspherical" elements, this lens maintains high sharpness and contrast even at maximum aperture, making it perfect for capturing stunning images and videos. In addition, this lens can be used to reduce distortion at other points in the optical path, making it an incredibly versatile and user-friendly option for anyone looking for a top-of-the-line lens.

Carl Zeiss T* (T-star) coating

It has a fast maximum aperture of f/4 that is great for low-light shooting and for creating shallow depth of field effects. The lens also features the Carl Zeiss T* (T-Star) coating, which virtually eliminates lens flare, internal reflection, and light scattering. This contributes to outstanding image quality with high contrast and uniformly excellent resolution right out to the image edges.

Lens-based optical image stabilization

The gyro sensors built into the lens help to detect even the slightest movement and then stabilize the image to get a clear shot every time. The linear motors and technology used in this lens are inherited from Sony's professional camcorders, which gives you the benefit of having exceptionally quiet and effective image stabilization.

Internal focusing

Its compact size makes it easy to carry with you, while its fast autofocusing and sharp images make it a great choice for capturing memories or shooting videos. The unique optical design of the Vario-Tessar T* E 16-70mm F4 ZA OSS Lens delivers outstanding image quality across the entire focal range, from wide-angle to telephoto.
