Sony FE 16-35mm f/4 PZ G Lens

The technical details behind this lens

Sony FE 16-35mm f/4 PZ G Lens offers exquisite imagery and exceptional resolution. The advanced design of this compact, lightweight lens achieves imaging performance that has become the hallmark Sony G lens. The optical path includes two AA (advanced aspherical) elements, a standard aspherical element, one Super ED (Extra-low Dispersion) and one ED glass element, and one ED aspherical element. All these ensure chromatic and spherical aberration is controlled for excellent optical performance.

All-new Electronic Power Zoom

For the first time in an α lens, the zoom control is powered by the SELP1635G’s XD (Extreme Dynamic) Linear autofocus motors. Utilising the XD Linear Motors for zoom drive achieves unprecedented efficiency in actuator design and responsiveness. Subtle zoom ring rotations are precisely detected and immediately converted to actual zoom operation so that the user’s intent is faithfully reproduced. Additionally, the maximum zoom speed across the lens’s full range is approximately twice that of the previous models1. A zoom lever is mounted on the lens barrel for true power-zoom operability.

XD Linear Motors for AF and Zoom

For another first in an α lens, the SELP1635G uses six (6) XD Linear Motors to drive both zoom and autofocus, delivering exceptionally fast, responsive, and reliable AF with the quiet and low-vibration operation.

World’s lightest F4 wide-angle PZ lens

Benefiting from the very latest advances in design and manufacturing technology, the SELP1635G is the world’s lightest F4 wide-angle power-zoom lens. Incredibly this is achieved without any imaging compromises.

Superior Mobility, control, and reliability

The compact SELP1635G features focus, zoom, and aperture rings in a design that maximises control and versatility for movies and stills. Additionally, an Iris Lock switch has been added to prevent accidental changes.
