Sony FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM Lens - Brand New review
Zoom lenses do have strengths and weaknesses in their performance, but there is little to complain about with this Sony G Master. Any sacrifice in the bald figures is more than made up for with the convenience and versatility a zoom lens represents, and there are precious few sacrifices.

Rock Star Lens!!!
This is an awesome lens, you can never go wrong with a G series lens from Sony. Perfect match for my Sony a7ii! Only issue, this has to do with Amazon packaging. It arrived today in a big box with just the smaller Sony lens box in it, you should pack these better not to get rattled around.

Sony FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM Lens - Brand New review
When we first heard news of the FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM, we knew it was a lens that had great promise. After extensive testing, both in the field and the lab, I’m pleased to report it’s exceptionally sharp and has been optimised by Sony’s engineers to resolve sensational detail in combination with Alpha...

Sony FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM Review
The Sony FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM is a premium wide-angle zoom lens for full-frame mirrorless cameras that promises to deliver extremely crisp images. Sony is expanding its premium G Master lens line with an f/2.8 zoom that covers an ultra-wide angle field of view. The FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM ($2,199.99) is smaller and lighter than competing lenses for SLR systems—a benefit of a mirrorless system design—while maintaining the dust- and moisture-resistant build that is a key feature of the FE lens system. It matches a premium design with top-end optics, delivering strong results both in the field and in the lab. It's an expensive lens, but backs up its price with excellent peformance, and earns our Editors' Choice. Design The 16-35mm measures 4.8 by 3.5 inches (HD), weighs 1.5 pounds, and supports 82mm front filters. It's bigger all around than Sony's own f/4 take on the design, the Vario-Tessar T* FE 16-35mm F4 ZA OSS, which measures 3.9 by 3.1 inches, weighs 1.1 pounds, and supports 72mm front filters. The F2.8 zoom is part of the G Master series. It's Sony's designation for its most premium lenses, which are designed to deliver the...
Pros:
- Fixed f/2.8 aperture
- Wide-angle coverage
- Quick autofocus
- Focus Hold button
- Dust and moisture resistant
Cons:
- Omits in-lens stabilization
- Edge softness at 35mm
- Dim corners at f/2.8
- Some distortion

While it features many of Sony’s most advanced features, the lens I’m reviewing today is only the first generation of the lens, and Sony also has a “GM II” version...

Cons:
- Noticeable field curvature at the longer focal lengths, An extending barrel when zooming is not ideal for working in harsh conditions
