Professional Build

Exhibiting all the professionalism and clear mastery of optical design, Sony’s FE 16-35mm f4 G PZ Lens is designed to capture exceptional image quality. The lens features an advanced intricate optical makeup that consists of 12 elements arranged into 13 groups. This lens uses one ED (Extra-Low Dispersion), one Super ED and one newly developed ED aspherical element, all of which contribute to higher image quality void of unsightly aberrations.

Aiding the optical capabilities is a constant f4 maximum aperture. Available throughout the zoom range, the aperture offers more control in lower light conditions, enhanced control over depth of field and provides greater consistency throughout.

Focusing

The ability to focus with precision is vital to an effective video lens. Moreover, lesser lenses can exhibit a jarring distraction known as ‘focus breathing’ that can plague video capture. Sony’s FE 16-35mm f4 G PZ Lens is designed to combat this and more.

Its optical design and control technology minimises focusing breathing and the lens is fitted with four XD (Extreme Dynamic) Linear Motors which, thanks to their complex construction, deliver impressively fast and accurate focusing across the entire zoom range. The motors are contactless which eliminates the need for gears and mechanical couplings, further increasing focusing speed while keeping the movement quiet.
