The Zeiss FE 16-35mm f/4 ZA OSS will be a wide-angle zoom lens for Sony E-mount cameras with full frame sensors. The new Zeiss Vario-Tessar T* FE 16-35mm f/4 ZA OSS lens will be optically-stabilized and feature a constant aperture of f/4 throughout the ultra-wide-angle zoom range.

The Sony FE PZ 28-135mm f/4G OSS lens has also been displayed at a special product launch event in Japan around May 2014. See the first prototype of the FE PZ 28-135mm f/4G OSS lens here.
