Sony A Mount 16-35mm f2.8 ZA SSM II Vario-Sonnar T* Lens

Designed for use with full-fame or APS-C A-Mount cameras, the Sony Vario-Sonnar T* 16-35mm f2.8 ZA SSM II Lens features a fast aperture, making it ideal for low-light shooting, and a wide focal length. It consists of 17 elements in 13 groups, which include an extra-low dispersion, a super extra-low dispersion, and 3 aspherical elements for high-quality, sharp images with minimal aberrations.

Key Features: Sony Vario-Sonnar T* 16-35mm f2.8 ZA SSM II Lens

• High-Quality Construction
  Three aspherical elements, one super ED (Extra-low Dispersion) element, and one ED glass element in a precision optical design achieve prime lens class resolution and contrast. The basic optical design is unchanged from the original version, offering superb wide-angle image quality with an absolute minimum of distortion.
• Bright and Fast f2.8 Aperture
  A bright constant F2.8 maximum aperture throughout the wide-angle zoom range means consistent exposure settings at any focal length as well as improved low-light capability. There's no need to worry about aperture related exposure variations as you zoom, and you can get great results shooting hand held indoors or in other dimly lit situations.
• Smooth, Quiet SSM Focusing
  The SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor) is a piezoelectric drive system that works with an internal focus mechanism in the Vario-Sonnar T* 16-35mm F2.8 ZA SSM II for smooth, silent autofocus with no front element rotation. Its capacity for high torque at low rotational speeds contributes to fast start and stop response as well as precise positioning.
• Focus Mode Switch
  In addition to generally convenient positioning and smooth operation of all controls, this lens includes a focus mode switch and focus hold button on the barrel for extra focusing versatility and control.
• Reduced Ghosting
  ZEISS T* (T-star) coating achieves even greater reduction of ghosting, taking image quality that is already highly regarded to a new level.
• Beautiful Background Bokeh
  A 9-blade circular aperture works with this lens's F2.8 maximum aperture to produce beautifully smooth background bokeh with natural highlights when desired. Smooth background defocusing can make the in-focus focus really stand out in images with almost three-dimensional depth.
• Dust and Moisture Resistant
  Some of the most exciting images are captured in challenging environments. A dust and moisture resistant design means that the lens will continue to perform reliably in moderately wet or dusty conditions, so you can shoot with confidence wherever those great shots are found.
