Widen Your Horizons: Sony Introduces ZEISS 16-35mm F4 Full-Frame Wide-Angle Zoom for α E-Mount Cameras

(SINGAPORE, 15 September 2014) – Sony’s latest full-frame ZEISS
wide-angle zoom packs serious imaging power into a light, compact addition to
the E-mount lens range for α camera users.

The
eagerly-awaited Vario-Tessar T* FE 16-35mm F4 ZA OSS (SEL1635Z) now offers
photo enthusiasts a choice of three wide-aperture premium zoom lenses.
Complementing the existing SEL2470Z zoom and SEL70200G telephoto zoom, the
wide-angle SEL1635Z is a compelling choice for landscapes, interiors and
architecture plus everyday shooting.

Legendary
ZEISS quality exploits the immense creative potential of the acclaimed α7 series
of 35mm full-frame cameras. It’s also an ideal partner for the complete Sony
range of E-mount cameras and camcorders.

The
uncompromising optical design features five aspherical lens elements, including
one large AA (advanced aspherical) element and three ED glass elements. This
helps the SEL1635Z achieve outstanding corner-to-corner resolution and
sharpness, while reducing distortion and colour aberration to an absolute
minimum – all in a lens that’s both compact and light to carry.

A
signature of ZEISS lenses, the T* coating on optical surfaces minimises flare
and ghosting to boost contrast, clarity and depth with landscapes and strongly
backlit scenes.

A
constant F4 maximum aperture allows photographers to achieve beautiful
background defocus effects with a shallow depth of field at all focal lengths.
Coupled with Optical SteadyShot™ in-lens image stabilisation, it enables stunning handheld shots
in low light without boosting ISO sensitivity and the risk of increased noise.

Wherever
you are sent on assignment, the lens’s dust and moisture-resistant design lets
serious photographers keep shooting with confidence in the harshest of
environments.
