Product Overview

Sony Vario-Tessar T* E 16-70mm F4 ZA OSS is a standard zoom lens for Sony E-mount. It covers the APS-C image circle. Introduced by Sony in 2013, it has 16 elements in 12 groups.
Like most zoom lenses, the Sony Vario-Tessar T* E 16-70mm F4 ZA OSS is externally-zooming.
A standard zoom lens with moderate aperture, the Sony Vario-Tessar T* E 16-70mm F4 ZA OSS is more of a "volume seller" than a premium option. Still, some photographers may find the results "good enough". The lens is also stabilized, making it even easier to use for videos and stills alike.
