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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

I need a lense with quality glass, speed and super quick auto focus, that helps the camera in low (flashless) light. Usable in 90% of shoots both indoors and whilst doing Landscape Photography

My lense failed me in the middle of an event. Thank God I had some other lenses to continue working but hey? this is a very expensive lense and I had never a problem with Zeiss.

I haven?t even begun to use all the features of the Sony A7iv. The sharpness of the images will blow your mind! There?s a lot to learn if you want your monies worth from this camera but you?ll be very happy when you finally do master it!

The lens itself is a work of art. Very nicely put together and works amazingly with the A7Siii body.

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.

Sharp corner to corner, overall a perfect lens, and the filter threads are a bonus!

I am so happy to have bought this lens for myself. Its so fresh and useful. Despite it being a zoom lens, it is still very sharp. Wow! No regrets here.

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...

Take your photography to new heights with the Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM Lens, a pinnacle of wide-angle performance and a dream for landscape and astro photographers. This G Master series lens is engineered to deliver consistently high resolution across the entire zoom range, from 16mm to 35mm, ensuring every shot captures the finest details from edge to edge. Whether you're shooting at the widest aperture or zooming in for a tight frame, the lens's advanced optical design, featuring aspherical elements and ED glass, minimizes distortion and chromatic aberration for pristine image quality.
The fast f/2.8 maximum aperture not only provides a broad canvas for capturing expansive scenes but also excels in low-light conditions, offering the creative freedom to produce images with a shallow depth of field and smooth, expressive bokeh. This makes the lens incredibly versatile, suitable for everything from sweeping landscapes to intimate portraits with a beautifully blurred background.
Crafted for mobility, the lens's compact and lightweight design is perfect for photographers on the move, pairing seamlessly with Sony's E-mount cameras to create a portable system that won't weigh you down on your adventures. The inclusion of two Sony XA elements with 0.01-micron surface precision ensures that distortion, astigmatism, and field curvature are meticulously controlled, while the 11-blade circular aperture enhances the bokeh effect, keeping it round and aesthetically pleasing without compromise.
Sony's Nano AR Coating is applied to combat flare and ghosting, maintaining high contrast and clarity even in challenging lighting conditions. The floating focus mechanism, powered by two DDSSM systems, delivers fast and precise autofocus that is both quiet and accurate, making the lens equally adept at capturing stills and video content.
Durability is also a key feature, with a dust and moisture-resistant design that allows photographers to shoot with confidence in less-than-ideal weather conditions. The lens's front element is treated with a fluorine coating to repel fingerprints and dirt, ensuring easy maintenance and clear images.
For enhanced control, the lens offers a focus hold button, manual focus ring, AF/MF switch, and other user-friendly controls, all designed to provide smooth and versatile operation. The focus hold button can be customized to suit the photographer's needs, adding to the lens's operational convenience.
This bundle enhances the lens's capabilities even further with the inclusion of the Hoya NXT Plus 82mm UV+CPL filter kit, which protects your lens and improves image quality by reducing UV haze and eliminating unwanted reflections. The accompanying cleaning kit and microfiber cleaning cloth ensure that your lens remains in pristine condition, ready for your next photographic endeavor.
Elevate your visual storytelling with the Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM Lens, a high-quality, advanced, and reliable choice for professionals and enthusiasts alike who demand the best in wide-angle imaging.
