Sony adds to E-Mount lens lineup (pictures)

It's a Zeiss T*-coated, optically stabilized lens, but it's midrange rather than high-end.

The Zeiss lens has a metal mount.

The lens has a seven-blade aperture.

While f4 is good at 70mm, it's a lot less flexible at 16mm.

F4 is good for 105mm, but not great as the maximum aperture at 18mm.

A power zoom lens in this focal range would make a good alternative kit lens.

The seven-bladed aperture is relatively polygonal.
