Area of use, special features
This fast wide-angle zoom lens gives demanding photographers exceptional design options with extreme image angles, particularly if both digital and analog full-format cameras are used. Digital APS-C cameras offer a zoom range from a moderate wide angle to the standard focal length.

When slightly stopped down, the lens achieves special, uniformly high image quality and illumination over the entire image field. The integrated ultrasound motor (SSM) allows the Vario-Sonnar to focus extremely fast and almost without any noise(1). The Vario-Sonnar T* 2.8/16-35 ZA does not change its length during zooming, and its fixed filter thread enables the convenient use of polarization filters.

The sturdy mount, interior focusing, front bayonet for the lens shade and the metal filter thread make this lens ideal for professional photography.

(1) Autofocus available only in conjunction with camera models that support SSM (e.g. Konica Minolta cameras made after 2001 and all Sony Alpha models)
