Non-interal zooming is a disappointment and you should note 35mm is most compact while 16mm extend the lens from the barrel. I was a little surprised by this and disappointed as I primarily use it at the 16mm end for landscapes.While the all black all metal feels premium, I find this is no exception...
Pros:
  • Stellar lens with good overall sharpness
  • Full metal build quality
Cons:
  • Not Internal Zooming
  • Soft at the 35 end

The Vario-Tessar T* FE 16-35mm f/4 ZA OSS is the only dedicated ultra-wide-angle zoom lens so far for Sony's full-frame E-mount cameras. It can also be used on APS-C E-mount cameras, where is spans a focal length range equivalent to 24-52.5mm in 35mm format.

Sony FE 16-35mm f/4 ZA OSS Zeiss Vario-Tessar T* SEL1635Z

The Sony 16-35 is a really good lens. I'd say it's one of the better lenses in the FE system. At 16mm this lens performs astonishing. This is, if you get what you want in focus, since the lens suffers from quite some field curvature.
Pros:
  • size
  • center sharpness
  • build quality
Cons:
  • performance &gt
  • 24mm
  • field curvature

Stunning wide zoom for Sony

Whilst it is a pricey lens, it is significantly cheaper than the newer G Master f2.8 version, and this f4 version does compare very well against its bigger brother. It does, of course, lose out a stop against the GM, but the 16-35mm f4 is smaller, lighter, cheaper, and image quality is superb, and...

Great Wide Angle lens

I've used the lens for a couple of months with Sony A7s camera and am very pleased with both. The lens is probably the best out there for this range. Excellent overall performer across the range. The lens is heavy and solid and has a quality feel about it.
Pros:
  • Consistent Output
  • Durable
  • Strong Construction

The best lens I have ever used!

I purchased the lens and I think it's a great quality. Well built metal body, really smooth look and feel. It's good for taking landscape pictures and comfortable to hold. I'm using this lens on my A6000 and I'm looking forward to upgrading to the full frame sensor so I can see enhanced performance...

Sony 16-35mm F4 lens

"Initially I felt this lens might add some flexibility and range to my other lenses. (35mm 2.8, 55mm 1.8, 85mm 1.8) I was not expecting it to be up to my other highly rated lenses, but it is and then some. A nice surprise! To put it bluntly, this lens is amazing! Exceptionally sharp at all settings.

  • sharp edge to edge

I absolutely love this lens. This is such a versatile lens that you can use for so many things. I am a content creator on YouTube and Instagram and it is great for vlogging and also taking pictures. No issues with low light. This is a must for any Sony camera bag.
