A wide-angle zoom built for cinema work on Sony E-mount bodies. It covers 16-35mm at a constant T3.1, with geared focus, zoom and iris rings for follow-focus rigs and a 114mm front for matte boxes. The wide end and parfocal-style zoom make it a workhorse for gimbal, handheld and interior shooting. It is heavier and larger than Sony's photo 16-35mm zooms and costs far more, so it suits crews who need cine mechanics rather than stills shooters.
