FE PZ 16-35mm F4 G Lens

Sony FE PZ 16-35mm F4 G — The Wide-Angle Power Zoom Built for Travel Video

The gist: Sony’s lightest full-frame F4 power-zoom wide-angle lens delivers motorized, cine-smooth zooms at 353g — a serious tool for travel videographers who can’t carry a dedicated cinema lens.

• Motorized power zoom: Smooth, quiet electronic zoom operation — eliminates the jerky manual zoom artifacts that ruin landscape and city travel footage.
• 353g full-frame coverage: Sony claims it’s the world’s lightest full-frame F4 wide-angle power-zoom lens — a meaningful weight advantage over comparable lenses in a packed travel kit.
• Dust- and moisture-resistant: Built to handle outdoor shooting conditions without babying the lens between locations.
• Remote zoom control: Pairs with compatible Sony bodies or the Imaging Edge Mobile app to control zoom remotely — useful when the camera is mounted on a gimbal or drone arm.

Imaging Resource called it “a unique wide-angle zoom designed for hybrid creators,” specifically praising the power zoom system as vital for smooth cinematic footage that’s otherwise difficult to achieve on a mirrorless body.

Best for: Sony full-frame videographers and hybrid shooters who want wide-angle cinematic zooms without heavy cinema glass. Skip it if: You primarily shoot stills — the f/4 constant aperture and video-first design make it a weaker choice when a wider maximum aperture matters.
