Sony E 16-70mm f/4 Zeiss Vario-Tessar T* ZA OSS SEL1670Z review by gmnguyen
The Sony E 16-70mm F4 is an excellent lens. It is sharp and high contrast at ALL focal length and ALL aperture. Usually, a zoom lens tend to be soft at the tele end and wide open. The Sony 16-70 is very sharp at 70mm F4.
Pros:
- sharp
- good contrast
Cons:
- N/A

Very Unimpressive Lens
I recently purchased this lens hoping to replace the 18-55mm kit lens with something much better. Alas, that is not the case. True, the lens does have a greater span in its field of view. However the image quality is strangely lacking in contrast, and the colors seem almost hazy.
Pros:
- Fast / accurate auto-focus

Carl-Zeiss Vario-Tessar T* E 16-70mm f/4 ZA OSS ( Sony SEL1670Z ) - Review / Test Report
The Sony's strategy regarding thei APS-C format E-mount system (formerly NEX) may appear to be a bit odd but it's nonetheless successful. Sony released about as many APS-C format cameras as corresponding lenses.

Great Lens
I use this lens on a A6000. This has become my go to lens with this camera. This produces images that are sharp at all levels from 16 mm to 70 mm. I am quite pleased with the quality. However, I feel that the color quality is significantly improved from the lens that came with the camera.

Good Lens, but not Great Lens
On a Sony A6500, the optical performance is not quite equal that of a Canon 24-70 f2.8 with Sigma MC-11 adapter. However, it is significantly less expensive and smaller than the latter combo. Great match for A6500.
Pros:
- size
Cons:
- optical performance
