Features

Overview: The Sony FE PZ 16-35mm F4 G (SELP1635G) is wide-angle power zoom lens for Sony mirrorless cameras with the E-mount. It has a constant F4 maximum aperture on full-range cameras to give you high performance, especially in low light situations. When mounted on a camera with an APS-C image sensor, the lens provides a 35mm equivalent focal length of 24-52.5mm. Sony G lenses are designed and manufactured to the highest standards of optical performance, giving you superb clarity and sharpness at all focal lengths.

Lens Construction: The SELP1635G has 13 elements in 12 groups, including two Advanced Aspherical (AA) lenses, a Super-ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element, and an ED element to suppress aberrations and distortion, and provide high resolution throughout the zoom range. It features a moisture- and dust-resistant design, and a fluorine coating on the front element to repel moisture, fingerprints, and dirt.

Power Zoom (PZ): The SELP1635G's power zoom features 4 XD Linear Motors that is quick to respond and provides ample control. The lens is equipped with a sliding zoom lever that lets you control the zoom speed. Slide the lever slightly for a slow zoom, or slide it fully for a fast zoom. You can also zoom in and out by rotating the zoom ring, if desired. On some Sony Cinema Line cameras, the power zoom can be controlled on the camera, or with some remotes.

Auto Focusing: The lens utilizes two XD Linear Motors to give you fast auto focusing, and to track moving subjects wherever they go. The motors operate in total silence which makes it ideal for recording videos.

Focus Hold: The SELP1635G is equipped with a Focus Hold button on the lens barrel. When shooting in Auto Focus mode, pressing the Focus Hold button cancels the AF to fix the current focus, allowing you to take the shot. Releasing the button while pressing the shutter button halfway starts AF again.

Iris Lock/Click Switch: The lens has a 2-way Iris Lock switch that lets you lock the aperture ring at "A" (auto iris) on the aperture scale, or rotate the ring between f/4 and f/22. In the "Release" position, you can rotate the aperture ring between "A" and f/4. In auto iris mode, the exposure is set by the camera. When the Aperture Click Switch is set to "Off," the sound of the aperture ring is reduced to avoid being picked up by the camera's microphone while recording movies.

Circular Aperture: The lens is equipped with a 7-blade circular aperture which provides smooth, natural defocusing.

Lens Hood: The lens comes with the petal-shaped ALC-SH172 lens hood which helps prevent lens flare, and protects the front lens element. When installed, the lens hood adds approximately 11/16" to the overall length of the lens. The hood can be stored on the lens by installing it backwards.
