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!

Marvelous Lens!
I originally bought the Sony a9 as a body for my Canon 24-70 2.8 L lens, hoping that this combination would be a very high quality, nearly all-purpose carry-around kit. But, with the adapter and the weight of the Canon lens it wasn't ideal. So, I went in search of another very high quality lens to serve as my nearly all-purpose carry-around. After a good bit of research I decided to try this lens. (My other carry-around camera is the Leica Q, a n... Show More

Beats F4 Sony 16-35
I recently purchased the G-series 16-35 to replace my F4 16-35 and I couldn't be happier. Combined with my a7riii, the lens has been able to do portraits as well as group shots when indoors. My old Sony F4 was great for landscapes and group photos, but if I wanted to take a picture of an individual, it couldnt give the moment that professional grade image like the G-series can. All around better piece of glass with sharper spots in the middle as well as the outer frame. Aside from the size and price, it's a must have for your toolbox.

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.

Met High Expectations
Read all of the in depth reviews and found the results on target with all of the hype. Did not disappoint.

Gmaster
Really like the Gmaster 16-35, balances well on the a7iii. Great wide angle and very sharp.

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!

Exactly What I've Been Looking For
For my Sonys (A7RIII, A7RII, A6500) I've been looking for sharp, fast wide-angle lenses in the sub 35mm focal range, and have also been looking for something fast to specifically cover the 35mm focal length on my full-frame Sony's. I typically buy prime lenses and already own the Nikon 20mm f/1.8G ED, which I pair with my D750. Said 20mm is great, but its kind of squeaky when focusing during video, and the D750 is just a generally a loud camera,... Show More

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.

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.

upgraded from the 16-35 f4. Sharper and although it weighs a bit more, the weight distribution makes it easier to carry

Does NOT focus above 16mm (respecting minimal focus distance
Purchase date: 21/12/17 - Problem date: 01/09/18 - Symptom: Does NOT focus when I zoom above 16mm, even respecting the minimal focus distance and using any Automatic Focus setting (lens and camera). This is supposed to be PRO GRADE lens! I am using it with a Sony Alpha a7R III. The lens worked well for some time and suddenly stopped for no reason. If I start using 16mm, focus an object and them zoom, the auto focus does not work any more in any f... Show More

Most amazing lens
I took the Sony 16-35 f/2.8, 24-70 f/2.8, and the 70-200 f/2.8 to Hawaii in August (all rented) and almost never took the 16-35 off my a9. For what I do, adventure/travel with my family, it was incredible: fast focus, ultra sharp edge to edge, kept up with he a9s tremendous focusing speed and accuracy. So I bought one. Best lens Ive owned yet.

A Modern Technological Marvel
I'm a fine art outdoor photographer, and have used many different lenses over the past 50+ years. This is one lens that lives up to the hype. It's almost as sharp as the best Zeiss wide angle prime, and at every focal length from 16mm to 35mm. Like all 35mm format lenses, sharpness tails off after f11.0 due to diffraction. But the consistently outstanding clarity and sharpness throughout this zooms' range make this a lens that can match the capabilities of the Sony A7riii camera. And I'm enjoying both immensely. Sony has pulled off a major balancing act with this gem.

way more creative than the 24-70mm
this lens should have more reviews than the 24-70mm. I used the 2470 of Nikon for over 10 years. The more I shoot, the more I found the 2470 boring. I shoot wedding, street and portrait. No doubt, the 2470 is classic, just personally I found this 1635 give me more space to create, more information I could input into my photos. I guess this lens is the one first time Im starting to challenge myself to jump out of the box. After I sold all my Nik... Show More

sony now has wonderful lenses!
I've been a picky photographer for more than 50 yrs. Mostly nikons until sony nex 7. Still have my 810 and a few others but the tech in sony's cameras have captured me. Lenses have been their weakness. No longer. Recently acquired the 16-35 2.8 GM, the 85mm 1.8 G and the 18-105 oss G for aps-c. All have been as good or better than the great stuff i've been using. Sold my zeiss that is was using for the 6500 because the sony G was better. The 85 m... Show More

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.

Amazing Glass
This is the lens I chose to pair with my new A7RIII. It is amazing! Took it with me to Horshoebend, Death Valley, Brian's Head and it is tack sharp throughout the aperture range. Also took some pictures of the night sky and that wide angle at f2.8 is just woooow! Highly recommend this lens if you like shooting in this focal range. Just need an 85mm and my two lens kit would be complete.

Great all around lens
The first lens I got had a broken focus ring. The second works perfectly. I got it for the holiday family trips so I can fit everyone in group shots and get some nice scenery shots with the wide angle. Some reviews online say its sharpest on the wider end of the spectrum but I have no problem shooting with it at 35mm at all. Sharp enough and the 2.8 provides decent bokeh but found myself stopping it down more often when getting scenery and family... Show More

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.

Top quality lens from Sony
I was reluctant to spend the money on this wide zoom for my A7Rii, but have no regrets now. It is expensive, but if you need a high quality wide zoom to take advantage of the A7Rii resolution, this is a great lens. I also own the 24-70 f2.8 GM and I honestly think this 16-35 is even sharper than the 24. Great lens.

Great Lens
Used the lens for the first time today during one of my real estate shoots. Loved everything about it. I can't wait to use it during some of my upcoming weddings. I know it's expensive, but it really is worth having. I had the 12-24 previously, that is an ok lens as well, but I just liked the 16-35 better overall. I actually think the price jump is worth it.

Great Lens
I've had the lens for a few weeks now. Been running it through its paces. Shot a few events (with very difficult lighting) and some landscape. The lens performed perfectly. Just one advise, if you're going to put a UV filter on this, make sure to buy top quality. I bought a medium grade Hoya for it, that cost me over $100, and I find that with the filter on, I get WAY more flares when shooting sunrise and sunsets. Without the filter, I don't see any, even when I try to make it happen.
