Sony has expanded its range of lenses with the FE 16-35mm f/4 power zoom lens. This compact zoom lens was made with filming in mind, but is of course also suitable for other uses.

The special feature is the power zoom, which lets you zoom in or out with a button.

The FE 16-35mm f/4 Power zoom has an aperture of f/4, which remains constant throughout the zoom range. This zooming is done with a zoom button instead of a zoom ring.

This makes it possible to zoom at a constant speed. Ideal for filming.


The fact that the lens is suitable for filming is also clear from its design. The length of the lens does not change because of the internal zoom mechanism.

You can also switch off the clicking sound when changing the aperture.

The lens is designed to control chromatic and spherical aberration, Sony says in its announcement. This results in excellent optical performance.

Flares and ghosting are suppressed, and the circular aperture blades produce a beautiful bokeh.

The striking feature of this lens is the power zoom. The silent system has a linear motor, allowing you to zoom precisely and at a constant speed. Despite this technology, the FE 16-35mm f/4 power zoom is the world's lightest f/4 power zoom lens.

The FE 16-35mm f/4 power zoom will be available from May. The recommended retail price for this lens is 1,500 euros.
