    Thrilled with my new 16-35mm f2.8 Sony GM lens5.0/5

    Thrilled with my new 16-35mm f2.8 Sony GM lens This Master lens by Sony is superb. The quality of my images ae excellent. Very happy. It's slightly heavier than I thought it would be but that's because of the quality glass (plus f2.8) but still lighter than the GM 24-70 f2.8. I had no problem carrying it all day.

    Great color and sharp5.0/5

    Great color and sharp Having the lens for a few weeks now it meets all the expectation. Like everyone else I wish I bought it sooner. Not as big as some reviews say it is just not the case. After having the Sony 16-35 F4 for a few years I just never felt the need to upgrade the same focal length now I see it was worth it

    Outstanding Lens, a little pricey, but absolutely worth it!5.0/5

    Outstanding Lens, a little pricey, but absolutely worth it! This is by-far the best zoom lens built. It has a solid construction with, currently, the sharpest image quality for a zoom lens. It's a little more expensive than several other lens but you will not find a sharper image in a zoom. This lens ranks higher than several prime lens, check the DxO Mark rating for the lens and you will be convinced this is the lens to buy. The f-stop allows you to take photos with quicker shutter speed while maintaining a crisp picture. If you do not want to be stuck carrying several prime lens, maybe this is your alternative. I like the ability to find a great spot to shoot landscapes then fine tune the lens for the composition I want.
