Pros:Sharpness, flare resistance, autofocus, material quality
Cons:price :-), inability to mount screw filters
Opinion:Huge lens, long awaited in the house of all Sonyists!!! it was just missing something of quality and ultra-wide angle very bright and with this 12-24 g master f/2.8 Sony just closed the circle. Of course the price is not cheap, but over time it will come down and for the moment I can say that it is more than justified. We are talking about a Sony lens, but G Master, so top quality!! The sharpness is exceptional as always in all Sony/Zeiss lenses, in the edges works very well, I can say that in my opinion does not suffer from coma, and I tried it on r IV, where with 61mpx if there are problems emerge immediately. The brightness is the highlight of this lens, which at the same time does not even suffer from flare. I was really amazed when at night, in front of the strong lights of Manarola and Vernazza, it did not produce the slightest flare!! Amazing!! Even the weight in the end is not excessive, because we stay under the kg with its 847g, and the clutter is the minimum union that a lens so can give. Compared to its peers (es tamron 15-30) the lens is much smaller and lighter. Finally, closing the diaphragm, it has a wonderful star, the tips alternate, a longer one and a shorter one, really a note of character of this lens that will surely distinguish it among all in time. I received it in rehearsal to test it and review it, after a few hours I decided not to return it and to keep it :-)
Opinion:Let's start with the very first impressions. Arrived about a week ago, the optics are built very well. Both the size and the aspheric lens are greater than in the 12-24 f4 and not by a little, despite this increase in hand it is not at all heavy. The design of the lens is eye-catching compared to 12-24 g. Improved the fixed light rail, larger than 12-24 g and this helps protect the aspheric lens from shocks and scratches. The angle of field is equal to 12-24 g and at 12mm it is absolutely fantastic. There is no stabilization, not bad, but autofocus has improved a lot (speed) compared to 12-24 g. The flare is practically absent from f11 to f22 with solar and artificial lights alternating with a star spendila, with long, short tips alternating. In the edges the sharpness is excellent at all openings. Surprised in positive for the vignetting which is very but very light from f8 to f16. Interesting the possibility of installing the filters in the appropriate back thread (in addition to the specific holder), too bad that there is only one slot. In the box there is the appropriate shape to cut the filters of the right size. Surprised positively by the warranty extension (2+1) once the lens is registered on the Sony website. The price is perhaps the only thing that goes out: 3300 euros (price list), they are too many but for those who have the 12-24 g the passage is almost automatic as between the two optics the difference is very noticeable, also with an ultra wide-angle zoom like this with this quality all fixed from 12mm to 24mm become useless.
