Sony FE C 16-35mm T3.1 G Lens for Sony E

FE C 16-35mm T3.1 G.
Wide Cinematic Expression.

Expand your cinematic expression with superb wide-angle zoom G series lens. A constant T3.1 (F2.8) large aperture delivers stunning background bokeh and low-light performance from wide to telephoto. Get precision with the responsive manual control featuring a fully mechanical focus, zoom and iris ring along with smart functions including linear autofocus, servo zoom controllable from the camera.

Constant T3.1 (F2.8) max aperture maintains exposure and depth of field regardless of the focal range to which you zoom. When changing your aperture to defocus the background, the areas out of the focal plane appear blurred. This ‘bokeh’ effect of the blurred background is enhanced with circular aperture blades used in this lens.

11-Blade Circular Aperture Contributes To Gorgeous Bokeh.
When changing your aperture to defocus the background, light sources appear blurred. This ‘bokeh’ effect of the blurred background is enhanced with the 11-blade circular aperture used in this lens. Conventional aperture blades have flat sides creating unappealing, polygonal-shaped defocused points of light. α lenses overcome this problem through a design that keeps the aperture almost perfectly circular from its wide-open setting to when it is closed by 2 stops. Smoother, more natural defocusing can be obtained as a result.

Nano AR Coating.
Sony’s original Nano AR Coating technology minimizes flare and ghosting by suppressing internal reflections and maintaining clarity, even in difficult outdoor lighting conditions, for dynamic range that achieves lifelike detail and gradation with advanced camera sensors. This precisely defined regular nano-structure allows accurate light transmission, contributing to high-quality images, more so than with lenses that use coatings with an irregular nano-structure. The reflection suppression characteristic of the Nano AR Coating is superior to conventional anti-reflective coatings, providing a notable improvement in clarity, contrast, and overall image quality.

Traditional Cinema Lens Operability.
The FE C 16-35mm T3.1 G brings traditional cinema lens operability with all the advantages high-performance E-mount cameras have to offer. The combination of three-ring operation, including de-clickable IRIS for smooth exposure and depth of field control, direct linear focus ring for precise manual focus and a zoom ring, offer traditional cinema lens experience. The additional benefits of servo zoom, advanced auto-exposure and AI based autofocus technology, including Real-time AF and Real-time Eye AF tracking found on modern E-mount cameras will expand your creative expression and operability in almost any shooting environment.

Instant Auto/Manual Focus Selection.
Instantly switch between auto and manual focus allowing the camera and lens to focus for you or decide to take control and manually focus on the precise point you chose. The focus ring can easily be moved forward for autofocus or pulled backward to engage manual focus. This unique operation allows the user to switch from autofocus to manual focus directly from the focus ring making the operation quicker and easier than selecting a menu in-camera or a separate Sswitch on the lens housing.

Detachable Servo Zoom.
The included servo unit with tripod mount provides comfortable fingertip control for smooth, gradual zooms suitable for a slow moving drama or promotional video. Servo and Manual control are switchable by a button on the lens unit, and while set to servo, you can control zoom via camera’s handle or grip zoom. The servo unit can also be detached if preferred, making the lens lighter and more portable.

Fast, Accurate AF & AE.
The SELC1635G fully supports the Enhanced Hybrid phase/contrast detection autofocus (AF) and Auto Exposure (AE) capabilities of the FX9 full-frame camera. This breakthrough technology allows you to concentrate on framing while the camera and lens work seamlessly together to maintain focus on subjects with shallow depth of field.
