Key Features
ZEISS T* Anti-Reflective Coating: Features the world-renowned ZEISS T* (T-star) coating, which effectively eliminates internal reflections to heavily minimize flare and ghosting. This guarantees impeccable contrast and pristine image clarity, even in challenging backlit conditions.
Exceptional Optical Resolution: Engineered with a meticulous 12-element, 10-group design containing 5 aspherical and 3 ED (Extra-low Dispersion) elements. This complex layout virtually eliminates chromatic aberrations and distortion, ensuring striking corner-to-corner sharpness.
Constant F4 Aperture: Maintains a fast F4 maximum aperture from the 16mm wide-angle to the 35mm telephoto end. Paired with a 7-blade circular aperture, it creates wonderfully smooth and natural background bokeh.
Built-in Optical SteadyShot (OSS): Integrated optical image stabilization heavily compensates for camera shake, delivering sharp, blur-free stills and incredibly stable video footage when shooting handheld in low-light environments.
Dust and Moisture Resistant: Features a reliable weather-sealed design, providing photographers with peace of mind when creating in demanding outdoor scenarios.
