The Vario-Sonnar T* DT 16-80 mm f/3.5-4.5 ZA is a high-quality zoom lens compatible with cameras using the Sony α, and Minolta AF lens mounts. It was designed by Carl Zeiss and is manufactured under license by Sony.
The lens is designed specifically for use with APS-C sized image sensors, and thus will result in vignetting on 35 mm (full frame) cameras. When the 1.5× crop factor of current Sony digital single-lens reflex cameras is considered, the lens has an effective equivalent 24–120 mm focal length.
