Overview

The Sony Vario-Tessar T* FE 16-35mm F4 ZA OSS is a well-built ultra-wide zoom with solid metal construction and smooth controls. Optically, it delivers sharp center performance and good color/contrast, but corners are soft with distortion, especially at 16mm. Autofocus is quick in good light but slower in low light. The lens includes OSS for handheld low-light use. It suits landscape and architecture photographers who value build and stabilization over ultimate corner sharpness.
