Recently, Sony introduced another wide angle lens with power zoom for its mirrorless full-frame cameras: the Sony FE PZ 16-35mm f4 G (approx. $1,200 on Amazon), which covers the most popular wide-angle range. The wide lens is extremely compact and light (353 g) and should be aimed more at filmmakers than photographers because it is designed as a motor zoom, which is why the lens name has the abbreviation “PZ” for Power Zoom indicates.
