Full-frame 16-35mm F4 powered zoom : At only 353 g (12.5 oz) this is the world’s lightest 2 full-frame F4 wide-angle power-zoom lens, yet it gives still shooters and movie content creators extraordinarily refined imagery, expression, and control. It features beautiful G LensTM rendering, amazing AF performance, and a new power zoom system using four XD Linear Motors in a compact lens.
High resolution in a compact lens : Two AA (advanced aspherical) elements, a standard aspherical element, and one ED aspherical element suppress distortion and aberration for excellent optical performance throughout the image area. Corner-to-corner image clarity and sharpness are outstanding.
Accurate colour & high contrast : An advanced optical design that includes one Super ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element, and one ED glass element subdues chromatic aberration for crisp contrast throughout every image with minimal colour bleeding. Rendering is clear and natural with any subject and lighting.
Stable movies with minimal breathing : State-of-the-art lens technology reduces focus breathing and jarring angle of view shifts when focusing and zooming to facilitate high-quality movie recording and smooth, refined expression. The breathing compensation function provided in compatible α series bodies is also supported3.
