Is the sony vario tessar t e 16 70mm f 4 za oss worth buying used?

Yes, I think it's a sensible one to buy used. Lenses are built to last, and the buying used guide explains why the used market is one of the best ways to afford good gear.

This is a stabilised 16-70mm f/4 zoom made for APS-C, so on a Sony E APS-C body it covers roughly what a 24-105mm does on full frame. On a full-frame Sony it still works, but only in APS-C crop mode, which gives up resolution. I'd only buy it for that if you already own the body.

Check the lens page for the full list of compatible cameras before you buy. If you're buying a used body too, budget for a new genuine battery, since old ones lose capacity.
