Product Reviews

I bought this before my trip to Xinjiang, and I am glad that I did. I did not have a 72mm UV filter for protector, but I found a CPL and used it instead. I also brought along my Zeiss 4/24-70 and discovered that the Zeiss f/16-35 stayed on the camera for most of the trip. The weight is of most concern to me now as carrying camera, lenses and drone is taking a toll on my knees.

This is my go to lens for vacation. It captures the location so beautifully anytime of the day. A Solid build lens I’m positive will stand the test of time.

This is my favourite lens for travel and street photography. The f-stop at 4 is good for letting in decent light onto the sensor. And this is helpful for architecture, street, real-estate photography I do. Even for outdoor events, this wider focal length gives a whole new perspective. The bokeh is minimal to none, but picture quality is top notch and sharp from corner to corner. Much affordable compared to G-Master, and Zeiss coating on the lens controls the dispersion giving almost similar results to a 16-35 G master. The human eye in daylight works at a f/8 and I use that as a benchmark for every lens I use in daylight. The results at f6.3-f8 have always been the sharpest, and I just love this lens. I also like the fact this isn't having any buttons. just a zoom ring, and a focus ring. I would probably like an aperture ring that is clickable, in it's next iteration.

Super happy with this lens on my new A7R5, also have the 24-70 f/2.8 GMII and just received the 14mm f/1.8 GM very happy! Only problem is no raw support for the A7R5 in Windows yet, or Chrome - no thumbnail or previews due to lack of raw support. Thank you!

I’ve had this lense for about 2 years. Great Zoom. I highly recommend.

Bought in 2017. Great lens. Does what it says on the box but not the best for the job. GMaster is better.

I have owned this lens for a few weeks now and it’s an absolute workhorse. Great optics in a robust body.

I do primarily photo, and as I start to get into video, I am finding myself turning to this lens as my go to. I do landscape photography here and there, but where this lense has been great is to start recording myself. I am finding that the length, the size and how compact it is, has been a great go to lens for me.

16.35mm follow focus is so good & light weight & colour is ultimate video shoot is very easy to sony lenses

I've had this lens a while now and bought it primarily for wide angle underwater shots. In this regard, it's excellent. It's also sharp enough (paired with my A7riii) to be able to crop in when I've photographed a subject that would've been more suited to longer focal length.

Very usable focus range. Especially shooting fast paced events in tight spaces.

Great lens to have although it does not support focus breathing in video mode. With f4, it's still quite fast with vood bokeh

Love it, super sharp! super high quality, and high value for money compared with competitors

This lens has always produced excellent image quality, very sharp even on the A7RIV (I've only used it stopped down), with only very slight softness in the corners. It's nice and light so not a chore to carry on long treks. Weather sealing appears to be very good.

I shoot surf photography and sharks and this is actually a great lens because I’m shooting higher apertures I don’t need it to be super low, but the focal length it perfect for me as I love 35mm but the 16mm gives me a view that really opens up making it great for up close sharks or up close surfers.

Excellent lens for the function. Nothing bad about it.

Working wonderfully! I love it very much!! !! !!!!

Wanted to explore it more… my lady took it and does not want to return it. Still too early to write more, so far is is great, and believe will amaze more during the continuous use

I bought this over a month ago it’s a great lens and I’m very happy with it.

This is an excellent lens. I found it to be most suitable lens for landscape and long exposure photography. The picture quality is fantastic.

Good: - Good build quality. - Image stabilization. - Small and light. - Constant minimum of F4. - Sharp accurate 99% image. - Versatile focal range. Considering: - Lacking proper weather sealing. - No manual focus switch. - Sharp accurate 70% video. - Metal focus ring. - Experience.

Excellent wide angle for street photography. A steal now with the GSS promotion.

The F4 FE1635Z makes for an excellent balance between price, performance and features. Unusual for this type of lens (16-35mm) is its built in optical stabilization. This feature increases its versatility and compliments its superb lens performance.

Great lens. Excellent on wide angle as well as 35mm
