Zeiss 16 70mm f 4 review năm 2024

The Sony Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar T* E 16-70mm F4 ZA OSS isn't the flat-out best zoom we've seen for a mirrorless camera, but it's certainly the best one available for owners of the NEX-7($656.86 at Amazon) and other APS-C Sony E-mount cameras. There's a little bit of distortion, and some softness at edges and corners of the frame, but overall it's an optic that I wouldn't hesitate to shoot at its maximum aperture at any focal length. It's quite compact given its zoom range, and sturdily built. Many Sony shooters who are willing to spend $1,000 on a lens have undoubtedly upgraded to a full-frame mirrorless Alpha model, but shooters who prefer the telephoto advantage and larger depth of field that go hand-in-hand with an APS-C sensor can look to this lens as a long overdue premium option for the E-mount system. We didn't quite like it enough to call it Editors' Choice (the Olympus PRO zoom for Micro Four Thirds is just a bit better, albeit with a shorter zoom range), but it didn't fall too short of that mark.

Introduction Specifications and FeaturesAnnounced for Sony’s APS-C E-mount cameras, the Sony-made, Zeiss-branded Vario-Tessar T* E 16-70mm F4 ZA OSS is a highly desirable 24-105mm equivalent f/4 constant-aperture model featuring a four-stop stabilizer in a compact design to match the smaller (APS-C) camera bodies.With a total of 16 elements arranged in 12 groups, the optical formula consists of one ED glass element and four aspheres, and coating for increased contrast with reduced color blurring and distortion.As a premium Zeiss model, it has T* coatings to reduce ghosting and flare and features a rounded aperture design for more

The Vario-Tessar T* E 16-70mm F4 ZA OSS lens for Sony’s NEX cameras is a versatile, high-quality lens for every day shooting. The renowned Zeiss T* (T-star) coating minimizes glare and ghosting, contributing to natural color and clarity. The 24-105mm equivalent focal length is common among full frame DSLR shooters as a convenient walk-around range. The lens has a constant F4 maximum aperture and circular aperture design, as well as Sony’s advanced aspherical lens technology. Optical SteadyShot image stabilization provides a marked reduction in image blur cause by camera shake, especially when shooting handheld at telephoto focal lengths or in dim indoor lighting.

Key Features

ZEISS quality in a compact, versatile zoom

Here's class-leading ZEISS optics with the legendary T* coating in a mid-range zoom that is compact and convenient for a wide range of subjects. The 16mm to 70mm zoom range will cover most shooting situations, making this lens an ideal choice for day-to-day photography or moviemaking.

Refined optics deliver stunning images

Four aspherical elements, including one AA element, combine with one ED glass element for breathtaking rendering. A linear motor achieves smooth, quiet operation that is ideal for movies as well as stills. The T* coating enhances performance even further by effectively suppressing reflections so that crisp, natural contrast is maintained.

Constant exposure at any zoom setting

A constant F4 maximum aperture throughout the zoom range means consistent exposure settings at any focal length as well as improved low-light capability. There's no need to worry about aperture related exposure variations as you zoom, concentrating on the image rather than technical details.

Always sharp and clear

Built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization compensates for camera shake that can blur images when shooting handheld. Sharp, clear night scenes or indoor shots in dim lighting can be captured without the need to boost ISO sensitivity and risk increased noise.

Outstanding colour and contrast

The ZEISS T* coating is an important contributing factor, effectively suppressing spurious reflections that can degrade overall image quality. Flare and ghosting are reduced for enhanced colour and contrast that give images a deep, three-dimensional feel.

When did the Zeiss 16 70 F4 come out?

The Sony Zeiss Vario-Tessar T* E 16-70mm F4 ZA OSS is a constant maximum aperture zoom lens for the Sony E-mount, announced by Sony on August 27, 2013.

Is Sony Zeiss 24 70 F4 worth it?

Overall, the handling of the 24-70mm zoom is what you would expect from a Sony Zeiss lens. While it doesn't handle like a heavy manual-focus Zeiss optic, it still has the build quality and finish you would expect from a premium-quality lens, and the size and weight work well with Sony cameras.

Is Sony Zeiss lens good?

Let's be very honest here, Zeiss lenses are fantastic. They're capable in every single way. For years, they also had some of the best image quality you could ever get from a lens. Zeiss lenses were available for Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony E, Leica-M, and Fujifilm X cameras.
