The ZEISS® Vario-Sonnar® T* 16-35 mm F2.8 zoom is already a favourite, and now it has been refined for even better performance. With excellent contrast and resolution in ultra-wide focal lengths it offers a dynamic palette of viewpoints and perspectives. The new edition reduces ghosting for improved clarity, lens processing has been revised for faster tracking and it is dust and moisture resistant.

Quality that can capture subtleties
