A great ZEISS zoom for full frame bodies
This compact zoom lens can bring out the best in full frame E-mount cameras in a wide range of day-to-day shooting situations. A constant F4 maximum aperture enables consistent exposure settings throughout the 24mm to 70mm zoom range, while ZEISS optics with the acclaimed T* coating deliver outstanding clarity and beautiful rendering. It is dust/moisture resistant too.

E-mount Full Frame Cameras
E-mount APS-C cameras
A versatile zoom for everyday shooting
The optical performance and 24mm to 70mm range of this ZEISS Vario-Tessar are a perfect match for α7 series bodies, maximizing both image quality and shooting versatility.
Refined optics deliver stunning images
Aspherical and ED optical elements add up to superior corner-to-corner performance with low distortion and minimal colour aberration. T* coating minimizes flare and ghosting.
Constant exposure at any zoom setting
Maximum aperture is F4 at all focal lengths so the user can zoom and shoot at any aperture without having to keep track of changes in exposure settings or depth of field.
Always sharp and clear
Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization compensates for camera shake that can blur images when shooting handheld, for sharp, clear night scenes and low-light indoor shots.
Lens Configuration
Legendary ZEISS quality manufactured and calibrated specifically for Sony imaging products. The T* coating contributes to exquisite rendering and contrast.

A versatile zoom for everyday shooting
The optical performance and 24mm to 70mm range of this ZEISS Vario-Tessar design are a perfect match for compact full-frame E-mount bodies. In addition to consistently superior image quality at all focal lengths it provides a versatile zoom range in a compact lens that can bring out the very best in 7 series bodies for a wide range of subjects.
Refined optics deliver stunning images
Five aspherical elements and one ED glass element in a state-of-the-art optical path suppress aberration for outstanding clarity and beautiful rendering throughout the range. The acclaimed ZEISS T* coating controls reflections for superior contrast, and a circular aperture contributes to smooth background bokeh with natural highlights.
Constant exposure at any zoom setting
Constant F4 aperture at all focal lengths means that the user can zoom and shoot at any aperture without having to worry about changes in exposure settings or depth of field, concentrating on the image rather than technical details.
Always sharp and clear
Built-in Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization compensates for camera shake that can blur images when shooting handheld. Sharp, clear night scenes or indoor shots in dim lighting can be captured without the need to boost ISO sensitivity and risk increased noise.
Outstanding colour and contrast
The ZEISS T* coating is an important contributing factor, effectively suppressing spurious reflections that can degrade overall image quality. Flare and ghosting are reduced for enhanced colour and contrast that give images a deep, three-dimensional feel.
Extra-low Dispersion Glass element
Lenses constructed with conventional optical glass struggle with chromatic aberration as the focal length increases. Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass counters these issues, delivering superior contrast and colour quality across the entire focal length – even at large aperture settings.
7-bladed circular aperture
The 7-blade circular makes it possible to achieve smoother, more natural defocusing in your images. Get creative with artistic blurring or 'bokeh' – and greater control over the depth of field.
Reliable and easy in any conditions
Reliable operation in a variety of conditions is ensured by a design that prevents dust and moisture from entering the lens.
