The Sony Vario-Tessar T* FE 16-35mm f/4 ZA OSS is a full-frame E-mount ultra-wide zoom built with Zeiss, covering 16mm to 35mm at a constant f/4. It uses 12 elements in 10 groups with a T* coating, adds optical stabilization, and weighs about 18 oz with a 72mm filter thread. It suits landscape, architecture and travel shooters on A7/A9 bodies who want a compact wide zoom with autofocus. Against the faster G Master 16-35mm f/2.8 it gives up a stop of light and some corner sharpness wide open, but it is smaller, lighter and cheaper to own; against the 12-24mm f/4 it trades the extra wideness for a 35mm end and filter threads. Owners rate it highly for color, contrast and portability, while some note soft corners at f/4 and a stiff zoom ring.
