The Sony PZ 16-35mm f/4 G lens is a versatile, lightweight wide-angle zoom lens designed to meet the needs of both photographers and videographers. With its constant f/4 aperture, it provides a bright enough performance for available-light shooting while maintaining a compact design perfect for all-day shoots. This lens is ideal for content creators who require high-quality video and stills performance in one package.

Optimized for video work, the lens features Power Zoom, which allows for smooth, controlled zooming during video captures. The electronically controlled zoom can be operated from the lens body or selected Sony camera bodies, offering flexibility in creative control. The Power Zoom mechanism uses four XD linear motors for fast, precise, and silent zooming movement, ensuring seamless transitions during filming. The lens also works in conjunction with Sony’s Clear Image Zoom function, which extends the effective focal length up to 2x while maintaining near-original image quality.

The lens’s optical design incorporates advanced elements such as two Advanced Aspherical (AA) elements and one aspherical element, which help reduce distortion and ensure high sharpness. Additionally, Super ED and ED elements control chromatic aberrations, enhancing clarity and color accuracy. A rounded seven-blade diaphragm ensures pleasing bokeh.

For video and photography, the lens features a fast, quiet autofocus system powered by the XD Linear Motor, ensuring quick subject tracking and accurate focus. The internal focus and zoom mechanism help maintain a consistent lens length during operation. It also includes a weather-sealed design with a fluorine coating, making it suitable for shooting in various environments.
