The Sony Vario-Tessar T FE 24-70mm f/4 ZA OSS Lens Pre-Owned is a compact, professional-grade standard zoom designed for photographers and videographers who need dependable image quality in a lightweight, everyday lens. Developed in collaboration with ZEISS and optimized for Sony full-frame mirrorless cameras, this lens delivers excellent sharpness, contrast, and color accuracy across a highly versatile focal range.

Fully inspected and tested by Camera Stuff Kenya, this pre-owned lens is ideal for creators in Kenya looking for genuine ZEISS optics at a more accessible price point—without compromising reliability.

Product Overview

Designed as an all-day walk-around lens, the 24–70mm focal length covers wide-angle to short-telephoto perspectives, making it suitable for landscapes, portraits, events, street photography, and video work. The constant f/4 maximum aperture ensures consistent exposure throughout the zoom range and allows controlled depth-of-field effects when needed.

Based on the ZEISS Tessar optical concept, the lens uses 12 elements in 10 groups, helping keep the overall size compact while reducing distortion, flare, and chromatic aberration. ZEISS T* anti-reflective coatings further enhance contrast and color fidelity, especially when shooting in bright or backlit conditions common in outdoor Kenyan environments.
