Sony FE C 16-35mm T3.1 E-mount

As wide as your imagination
Capture a wide field of view with the SELC1635G wide-angle Zoom lens. Full-frame digital, documentaries, or other high-quality content: the improved optical design and cutting-edge technology ensure reliable shooting.

Shoot with beautiful bokeh
Experience high-resolution images from the center of the frame to the edges - just as you would with Sony G Lenses. A wide T3.1 aperture (F2.8) from wide-angle to telephoto provides great background bokeh and impressive depth.

Responsive manual controls
Adjust focus, Zoom and aperture with smooth, consistent precision. Parfocal optics and precise controls enable versatile, repeatable shooting with the VENICE, PXW-FX9, and mirrorless α cameras.

Versatile control
In addition to manual control, the detachable servo unit provides access to new tools designed specifically for the Sony E-mount system. Use precise autofocus for spontaneous shooting or powerful servo Zoom, focus change, and iris options for creativity and more efficient workflow directly from the camera, remote, or smartphone.

New standards in resolution and bokeh.
The lens features two Sony XA (extreme aspherical) elements with a surface precision of 0.01 μm. Distortion common to wide-angle Zoom lenses, as well as astigmatism and image field curvature, is securely under control with this lens. Less attractive bokehs, such as so-called onion rings, are successfully prevented by the XA elements, resulting in only wonderfully smooth bokehs in the out-of-focus areas.

Clarity and contrast in any light
The original Sony nanocoating reduces unwanted reflections that can cause light flare and ghosting in backlit or other difficult shooting situations. The result is consistently high contrast and excellent clarity. By suppressing reflections across a wide spectrum of light, you gain flexibility in framing and composition, especially at wide-angle focal lengths.

Eleven blades for beautiful bokeh
The original circular aperture of Sony with 11 blades contributes to even better bokeh quality. Design and materials have been revised to maintain the circular shape of the aperture, and strict circularization standards have been applied to bring out the full bokeh of the lens without limitations.

Precise and responsive manual focus
The SELC1635G features a smooth, quiet linear-response manual focus that is instantaneous, precise and intuitive to control. The focus ring offers a wide rotation option (120 degrees) for fine tuning. Steps and a clear distance scale allow for uninterrupted focus changes and resets during multiple takes. In addition, filmmakers can also reverse the Zoomring and specify that aperture step adjustments are precisely indicated by tactile feedback.

More options for content producers
The SELC1635G's fixture has an industry-standard 0.8mm size and 114mm lens diameter, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of accessories, from matte boxes to focus pullers. The Zoomring rotation is also reversible to accommodate manufacturers of selected photographic lenses.

Detachable Servo Zoom
The included servo unit allows easy fingertip control for smooth, gradual Zooms, such as for a slowly rotated setting or a promotional video. Servo and manual control can be interchanged by pressing the button on the lens. When servo control is set, you can control the Zoom via the camera's handle or grip it directly. In addition, the servo unit can also be detached if necessary.

Fast and accurate AF and AE
The SELC1635G supports the hybrid phase/contrast detection autofocus (AF) and auto exposure (AE) functions of the FX9 full-frame camera. This breakthrough technology allows you to focus entirely on framing your shot, while the camera and lens work seamlessly together to maintain focus on subjects with shallow depth of field.

Fast, accurate autofocus
The floating system is made possible by dual DD-SSM ultrasonic motor (Direct Drive SuperSonic Motor) mechanisms. The special design of Sony drives two different focus groups, supporting high speed and precision as well as smooth movements. This enables ideal autofocus in both video and photo shooting.

High reliability in the toughest conditions
This lens is all-around dust and moisture resistant for added protection and reliable operation even in challenging conditions. Effortlessly create footage in light rain or wind.
