Good sharp lens for architecture photography

I have been using this lens for a few months with my Sony A7III full frame camera and have been very pleased with the results. The lens provides excellent sharpness across the entire frame. Colour fringing is also minimal. I initially though of buying a cheaper 16mm third party lens but I appreciate the benefit I get from the Sony's zoom capabilities and wanted assured quality, not just a lower price. Attached are a few photos taken straight from camera with no editing.

Love Sony photographic gear.

Pretty good lens. Love the ultra wide focal length. Not the sharpest lens in my opinion.

Can't go wrong with a Zeiss lens

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.

Great Travel Lens!

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.

My favourite lens for travel

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.

Beware of the V rating

The used rating was V for very good and the description was shows signs of wear and scratches but does not affect the performance of the lens. Unfortunately this lens does not focus properly and images are not sharp.by the time I got around to using the lens and discovered that it is not usable, I felt stuck with a $550 paperweight

16-35 F4 - Awesome and light lens

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.

Great Price, Versatile Lens

I was super excited to get this lens and get out to the woods for some waterfall photography. So far this lens has been everything I hope for. Versatile, well priced, sharp, easy to operate etc. I have been very pleased with the first few outings I have taken it on.

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

Great image quality in nice light package

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.

One of my go to lenses for a certain reason

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.

Great lens for the great price.

I bought it for Real Estate photography and it works great. I really did not need lower than F4 stop. It is a solid lens that will get the job done. Lens is quite small comparing it to similar Canon lans I used before. So it takes very little space in your bag. You really won't go wrong with this lens.

Excellent Lens

By LensGuru

Great contrast and color, typical of a Zeiss lens. What amazes me is how sharp this lens is at corners, even in the extreme wide angle end (16mm). The distortion is superbly well controlled too. The sharpness in the corner indicates that the lens is inherently free of severe distortions, because the interpolation performed to correct the distortion often loses resolution in doing so. Goes to show how much quality optic this lens really is! Highly recommended.
