Sony SAL-1680Z 16-80mm f/3.5-4.5 Carl Zeiss DT Autofocus Lens is a professional-grade 5X zoom lens specifically designed for the Sony Alpha series and Minolta Digital SLR cameras. Optics have been optimized for the smaller diameter image circle used with digital SLR cameras.

Carl Zeiss' optical design and anti-flare T* coatings used for this lens help to reduce flare and to increase contrast. When used with a digital SLR camera, the equivalent 35mm focal length for this lens is 24-120mm. It is a compact all-in-one lens, and is ideal for snapshots, portraits, interiors or outdoor scenery.

Note: DT lenses are not compatible with 35mm cameras.
