My new favorite lens
I needed a wide angle lens for my new Sony body that wouldn't be too large to use on the Zhyun crane 2. Tried and tested. Not only was the wide angle low on distortion it was light enough and small enough to attach to my gymbal with ease!

Sharp
This is a great lens. It's sharp. It's wide. It's sharp and wide. I have the 85mm 1.4 GM and this covers the other end of the focal length range perfectly. At the 35mm it's great for candids et al. Very content with the everything.

The best Wide angle lens for full frame sony E-mount
What sold me on this lens was the ability to zoom in and maintain f2.8 aperture. Very sharp even at the corners. It's a bit long but still able to mount this on the a7sii and Zhiyun Crane. Very pleased with this lens.

Worth it.
The only con, and it's a big one, is price. Image quality, autofocus, and build quality are unmatched. If it were $500 less, it would be the greatest lens for Sony full frame cameras. I love it for video and photos.

Sharp and contrasty enough I could part with some primes
I got an exceptional copy of this lens. Very sharp and great contrast corner to corner. Performance was good enough that I sold some primes as I don't see taking this zoom off the camera for this focal length range

Outstanding lens
Using his lenses for landscape as well as night photography. It has outstanding clarity. It has become my most used lens from the first photoshoot itself. And with Sony A7R2, it forms an impeccable combination.

Poor Weather Sealing
Just received my copy and the lens barrel seal doesn't contact the camera body, as described in the KenRockwell.com review of this lens. Moisture and dust can enter the camera body. Optically the lens is great.

Absolutely love it
Even though the 24-70GM is the star, the 16-35mm range is underrated. I find that getting those super wide angles really captures the location youre at. This is a superb lens and also smaller than the 24-70.

Fantastic Lens, especially in low light
I had the 16-35 f/4.0 and it was a great lens. I needed something for more low light situations so got the f/2.8. What I found was that it was better than the f/4.0 even wide open (at 2.8 vs. 4.0).

Amazing sunstars
So far I've used this lens on 4 occasions on my A7r II. Today I got some amazing sunstars during sunset. I've done some Astro shooting as well and WOW! I'll attach a couple images below.

Great for travel
This lens is a perfect match for my a7R III. I got a good copy that is sharp in every focal length. I hiked tens of miles with it in Glacier NP and I did not feel it a burden at all.

GM lenses are best
Prefer the image quality on this lens better than my Batis prime 25/2.0; Sony has nailed the bokeh and overall image quality on the GM lenses, including this one. Highly recommended.

Wonderful lens
A wonderful lens for parties and family gatherings. Everyone is always in the picture. You dont have to be a professional photographer to create some wonderful family memories.

SHARP!!
This lens is incredibly sharp, and much lighter than I expected it to be. Great lens for not only landscape and Astro, but also travel walk-around photography as well.

Just what I was looking for
I was looking for a sharp wide lens that could actually give me some bokeh. This does just that. The construction is nice great quality. I highly recommend this lens.

Nice lens, perfect for scenery
I purchased this 1635 lens to use with my a7r3. This is a perfect match and it suits shooting sceneries and landscapes. Cannot wait to try it for the milky way.

Fast and Sharp
Not the lightest and most compact but definitely very sharp and fast. Focus is lightning quick and produces great results in Photo and Video. My go to lens.

sharp through range
Excellent lens. I took off a star for pincussion issue at the wide end. It will always need to be adjusted on post. When doing hdr it slows process down.

AMAZING!
I love this lens! Its sharp, the autofocus is lighting fast, it has a great zoom range, and the focus ring is really good for a focus by wire lens.

Great Lens
Very good lense for landscapes finding it to be sharpest around F9. It's more compact than I thought it would be, which was a pleasant surprise.

Super sharp!
This lens is super sharp and I am super happy! I upgraded from the Zeiss f4 which shocked me with lack of resolution. Now, things are perfect!

Cant get the corners to sharpen up at all
The left and right third of this lens fall apart even at higher apertures. Everyone seems to love it, so maybe I just had some QC problems.
