Sony FE 16-35mm f/4 G PZ

A compact, power-zoom wide-angle lens designed for hybrid photo and video shooters — the FE 16-35mm f/4 G PZ pairs a constant f/4 aperture with smooth, motorised zoom control ideal for video, plus near-silent linear-motor autofocus and full weather sealing. Significantly smaller and lighter than Sony's f/2.8 GM wide zooms, it's built for run-and-gun video work and travel.

GearFrame's Take

A genuinely hybrid wide-angle zoom — the smooth power zoom, near-silent AF, and optical stabilisation make this an excellent video lens, while constant f/4 sharpness and full weather sealing keep it credible for stills. At 420g it's far more portable than Sony's f/2.8 GM wide zooms.
