Love this lens but its defect, Sony won't replace

I absolutely love this lens, I bought it in 2019 and I got a few good years out of it. When functional, the image quality is crisp and the ease of use is amazing. Unfortunately I got one of their defect lenses, where the focus breaks and no longer focuses. I read that there were many lenses in this model with this exact problem so I contacted Sony to get a replacement. Unfortunately they did not help me. When spending almost 3,000$ for a lens you expect it to last you a very long time, as it's a big investment. I love Sony's products, I have been a loyal customer for 10 years, but very disappointed in their service.

I don't think it's worth the extra money

It's good enough but it's not 65% better than its competitors as its price suggests. Sometimes I wonder about its corner sharpness. It has a good weight. The focus ring could have a better feel to it.

Love this lens!

The shipment was quick and easy! This lens is great and it's not heavy as other GM lenses. I shoot sports and concerts and it lets me get really wide and it's also it's really good for run and gun videography.

Great for portraits especially for low lighting.

It was not cheap in price but worth every Penney of it. I use it for selling my advertising for newspapers and magazines. I tell clients Will Rogers said I never met a man I didn't like. I say I never took a picture that you are not going to like!

My Review for FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM

I sold my lens and then discovered that I could not do without it so I purchased another. I use it for street photography to capture the environment and subject, astro and landscape photography. I've found it's not a lens I use often but when I need it, it's invaluable. I'm very happy with the sharpness of the lens and its low light capability. Wish list, I would like it to be lighter in weight.

Remarkably Shart

After 40 years as a Canon shooter I have made the big leap over to Sony mirrorless and am not looking back. I was slow to make the switch due to the dozen lenses I would ultimately want to replace. But I have been impressed with both the bodies and lenses. This lens is no exception. It is remarkably sharp and quick to auto-focus. Love it.

Very versatile and amazing sharpness in a zoom lens. Almost no vignetting or distortion. Not quite as sharp as a prime but more than adequate.

Great lens under all point of views!

I've recently switched to Sony, and I bought this lens as wide-angle lens. It is fantastic piece of gear that I cannot suggest highly enough. Both the feel of the device and the pictures are amazing. It is sharp to a fault and it's great for high focus/boken effect.

Corner to corner sharpness

By Winsome I.

Based on my photo experiences many years ago, I always avoided zooms in favor of primes. But these new G Master zooms are amazing. Great contrast and rendering, razor sharp even wide open. The old argument about the weight of zooms vs primes really doesn't make sense when you consider this one lens is the equivalent of 16mm, 20mm, 24mm, 28mm and 35mm primes.

Super lens

By pheel

Bought this on release after wanting it for so long to pair with my A7Rii. It is a full stop faster than the Sony/Zeiss 16-35mm f/4 and the benefits are tremendous. Better low light and action performance and OSS is not really necessary or beneficial on the newer bodies that have IBIS. Focus hold button that can be reprogrammed for several other functions (but not as many as a programmable camera button) is useful too. No zoom lock button like the longer/heavier 24-70mm 2.8 GM but doesn't nee...

How you capture your world in photography and videography is about to change with the FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM Lens for Sony E. This advanced lens bundle, complete with a ProOptic 82mm Filter Kit, Lens Pouch, Cleaning Kit, Cap Tether, Lens Cleaner, and Mac Software Kit, offers a wealth of opportunities to explore your creativity in new ways.

This high-quality lens delivers consistently superb resolution from corner to corner, no matter the zoom setting or focus distance. Its stunning background bokeh capabilities make it perfect for capturing subjects that truly stand out. Its compact, lightweight design makes it an ideal companion for active shooting, whether you're on the streets or hiking in the great outdoors.

The FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM Lens is the first wide-angle G Master zoom lens that fully leverages the high-resolution potential of the latest and future Sony E-mount camera bodies. It combines Sony's most advanced optical and mechanical technologies to deliver extraordinary rendering and clarity.

The lens features an uncompromised optical design that achieves extremely high resolution and contrast, making it ideal for capturing landscapes, architecture, interiors, and other expansive subjects with outstanding corner-to-corner sharpness. Its aspherical elements minimize distortion, while ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements effectively control chromatic aberration.

The lens also features two Sony XA (extreme aspherical) elements with 0.01 micron surface precision. This meticulous design controls distortion, astigmatism, and field curvature that can occur in wide-angle zoom lenses. The XA elements also effectively suppress unattractive onion-ring bokeh, ensuring smooth, beautiful bokeh in out-of-focus areas.

Sony's original Nano AR Coating on the lens suppresses spurious reflections that can cause flare and ghosting in challenging lighting situations, ensuring consistently high contrast and clarity. This feature provides greater framing and composing flexibility, particularly at wide-angle focal lengths.

The lens employs a floating focus mechanism with two independently driven lens groups, ensuring consistently high resolution from infinity to the closest focusing distance. This system helps reduce all types of aberration to minimum levels, maintaining sharp, high-resolution rendering for all your subjects, from landscapes to portraits.

The lens also features two DDSSM (Direct Drive SSM) systems that directly drive two focus groups in a floating focus configuration. This design ensures the highest possible focus accuracy and is quiet enough for shooting movies as well as stills.

The lens's front element features a fluorine coating that helps prevent fingerprints and makes it easier to wipe away any dirt and fingerprints that do appear on the lens surface. The lens also features a focus hold button, manual focus ring, AF/MF switch, and other controls for versatile, fingertip operation.

Sony's original 11-blade circular aperture contributes to even greater bokeh quality. The design and materials have been revised to maintain a round shape, enhancing the full beauty of the lens's bokeh without compromise.

Finally, the overall design of this lens is dust and moisture resistant for extra protection and reliable operation in challenging environments. You can shoot with confidence in light rain or windy conditions, making this lens a durable and reliable choice for all your photography and videography needs.
