Sony Vario-Sonnar T* DT 16-80mm f/3.5-4.5 ZA Lens
Key Features
  • A-Mount Lens/APS-C Format
  • 24-120mm (35mm Equivalent)
  • Aperture Range: f/3.5-4.5 to f/22-29
  • Two Aspherical Elements
Have all your bases covered with the Vario-Sonnar T* DT 16-80mm f/3.5-4.5 ZA Lens from Sony, which offers an extremely versatile 24-120mm equivalent zoom range on APS-C format A-mount cameras. Benefitting from a Zeiss design that incorporates two aspherical elements and the renowned T* coating, this zoom will help capture sharp, aberration-free images. Also, due to the use of a variable f/3.5-4.5 maximum aperture the overall size and weight is kept to a minimum. Handling and operation is intuitive, especially with an Auto Clutch mechanism that prevents the focusing ring from rotating when autofocus is engaged. Additionally, the internally focusing lens has a minimum focus distance of 1.1' and it has a seven-blade circular diaphragm for smooth bokeh.

question

How would this work on an Sony Alpha 7?Is it considered an FE mount or E mount?Thanks
Asked by: Anonymous
The Sony 16-80mm f/3.5-4.5 Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* DT Standard Zoom Lens has the Sony Alpha mount, so would require an adapter to be used on the Sony a7, which has the E-mount. The lens is designed for APS-C size sensor cameras, so if you were to use it on the a7 with an adapter, you would need to shoot in the APS-C mode. It will not cover a full frame sensor.

Hi Mark, This lens will work with Sony a99II with some restrictions.
