Experience top-notch photography courtesy of the SONY photography range. The SONY family has a new member: a high-quality lens with ZEISS® Sonnar construction with T* coating, designed to eliminate lens flare, internal reflection, and light scattering. The lens is primarily compatible with full-frame or APS-C sensor cameras with an A bayonet (Alpha series cameras). With its minimum focus distance of 28cm and 0.24× magnification ratio, it is ideal for mid-range wide-angle photography. Its maximum aperture is F/2.8, so you get high-quality images even in poor lighting. The lens provides a focal length of 16-35mm (Full-Frame) and 24-53mm (APS-C) respectively. This ensures that the resulting photos look natural and pleasing to the human eye.
To achieve the best image quality possible, the lens is made up of 17 elements in 13 groups, including 3 aspherical elements. Additionally, two elements are made of ED glass to provide stunning contrast across the entire aperture range. The improved SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor) ensures extremely quiet autofocus. An integral part of the lens is a circular aperture to achieve a beautiful blur effect.
The package contains a lens hood, front and rear lens cap, and a carry case.

Sony Corporation is a Japanese company founded in 1946. Its headquarters is located in Tokyo. Its beginnings were humble. The first product sold under the Sony brand was a transistor radio. It was those radios that played a pivotal role in the company's expansion in the 1960s and the world quickly began to associate Sony products with a reliably stellar price-performance ratio.
In the 1970s, Sony was severely affected by the global economic crisis. Many analysts considered the company effectively defunct and could see no future for it. However, they underestimated the famous Japanese perseverance and courage. The crisis was not a disaster for Sony; on the contrary, it served as a launching pad to even greater heights. The company recovered and soon changed the media landscape with the development of the CD and later the DVD. In the early 1990s, Sony achieved another major success with the introduction of the PlayStation gaming console. It is the gaming consoles that best represent the intersection of the three key areas in which the company operates today – electronics, video games, and the entertainment industry.
