About this product

Product Information

The Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar T E 16-70mm F4 ZA OSS (SEL1670Z) is a compact zoom lens that provides a 35mm full equivalent focal length range of 24-105mm, covering wide-angle to short telephoto perspectives. A constant f/4 maximum aperture offers consistent performance throughout the zoom range and is especially beneficial when working with greater zoom magnifications in low-light conditions. Also benefitting working in dim light or at the long end of the zoom range is Optical SteadyShot image stabilization, which serves to minimize the appearance of camera shake by up to four shutter speed steps.

    The lens is brand new as advertised. The seller answered my question promptly which resulted in me buying the lens. The seller shipped the lens right away. I am very happy with my purchase which is $400 less than the manufacturer’s price. Thank you.

    I received my camera bundle yesterday and I am extremely pleased. Top notch, quality gear! I now have everything I need to shoot great photos. The seller had great communication and the shipping was very fast. When unboxing, I checked all of the equipment and it was in great shape and nothing was damaged in shipping due to being boxed properly. The camera bundles from this company are a great value and look and feel very nice. I’m excited to get started!!! Great and trustworthy eBay seller!

    Incredible Lens, even more incredible Seller

    I compared this to the Sony 16-55mm kit lens and the Sony 55-210mm zoom lens. All I can say is that there is NO comparison! The sharpness and realism is just incredible. With this lens, taken with the same zoom factor and lighting conditions, I took a picture of my cat's face. First I looked at the pictures taken with the Sony lenses and got scared because I thought "Did I just blow a big wad of money on a lens that surely could not do better than what I am seeing with my two Sony lenses?" I believed I was seeing all of the detail that could possibly exist. Then I looked at the pictures take with this ZEISS lens!! I was actually able to see the pores on my cat's nose! I could see the minute structures of my cat's iris. But even more importantly, the picture assumed almost a 3D realism to ...

  • Awesome colors and contrast

    My example is great optically. No decentering issues. Really sharp at the center throughout the range. Sharpness tapers off pretty quickly away from center wide open. The macro performance impressed me, better than I expected. Stopping it down as far as f/16 and possibly even f/22 to increase the DOF at 70mm for macro still gave lots of great detail. I like the smoothness of the out of focus elements and notice an improvement in colors and contrast when compared to my other less expensive lenses. Awesome all around outdoor daytime lens. Don't expect F/4 to be good indoors unless the room is bright or your subject is near a window on a bright day. I'm using it with an a6000.

  • Good lens

    I use the lens on my A-6000 which I bought as a carry around camera, my older A-900 being just too bulky. The Zeiss lens takes good photos but not as sharp as I had hoped for. Frankly, the best images that I've taken with this camera were when using a $180 Sigma 30mm f2.8 but a zoom is for me a necessary function for a carry around camera. Packing several lenses works for a shoot but all the time. Maybe my Zeiss needs to be calibrated to my camera.

  • Great light lens

    Perfect lens for my use. This lens has a decent focusing speed. I did not use it a lot, just tested it so far. But, I like the fact that it has a stable F size, very useful in focusing while doing vidéo, also, the great thing is that it is really light, so it will be really good to use with a gimble.

  • Lightweight with superb optics

    Purchase a6000 body and paired up with this versatile lens. The focus is quiet and fast, and the image sharpness is excellent (of course you can't compare it with a F/2.8 or prime lens). However, it is not doing very well in low light condition. The zoom range suits most shooting conditions, from portrait to scenery. If I ever need a telephoto, I would then switch to the SEL55210.
