Pros: Sharpness at all focal points, construction, "standard" filter port, performing AF

Cons: Cost of the new, you score easily

Opinion: Excellent lens both from the point of view of optical quality and construction. It also has no problem with the a7r2 or r3's 42mp sensors. Af works very well. The ability to mount filters or screw filter port makes it versatile. As an F4 lens I would have preferred to weigh less but in any case it is not prohibitive, on the contrary, it weighs less than the competition. The cost of the new one I find quite elevated always in relation to the maximum opening of F4. The paint lines up quite easily. In any case, the pros are worth much more than the cons and the optics are definitely a good purchase.

Pros: Use in APS-C: compact, not overly heavy, great sharpness even at the edges (however very "natural" photos), excellent colors and contrast, use 100mm slab filters, fluid ghiere, not exaggerated cost (compared to 16-35 G). Great constriction, gives the idea of robustness. Tropicalization.

Cons: ENDLESS MF stroke (impossible to determine the infinity in night/star filming - you have to resort to digital adjustments in the car ..... and they are in pain)

Opinion: I'm (for now) using the lens in APS-C (on a6400). I would say amazing to every focal and generally to all the most used diaphragms (f.4 to f.11). The chromatic and contrasting rendering is excellent, even in photos at dusk and night. Flare seen only once with "visible" sun in photos. Very sharp throughout the photo (but naturally). Light (or not overly heavy compared to other choices) and compact is ideal for a mountain backpack on trekking. MF night a small "drama" to solve" (see "against"). Ability to use 100mm slab filters is a great advantage of slab size to carry (and cost). Now I'll test the lens in FF (a7RIII) and then update the review

Pros: Excellent construction and optical quality.

Cons: Perhaps the direction of the zoom ring

Opinion: Taken for a few months. Tested for good. Phenomenal lens, unique colors. The weight is right but the construction is exceptional. Zeiss quality all the way. Price more than fair for a lens with unique colors and excellent clarity. The only flaw perhaps a minimum of distortion and a little vignetting. All correctable in post. Excellent anyway. Highly recommended

Pros: Outstanding yield. Being Zeiss optics perfect for all focal lengths.

Cons: I would say none except the cost.

Opinion: Excellent lens I would say for portraits that street or landscapes. rnThe fixed focal length of f / 4 may seem dark, but I assure you that even in low light conditions excellent photos are obtained. Of course, being 16-35 its particular application could be said in landscapes or architectural photos. rnLight aberration of the lens at the edges but nothing that can not be adjusted in post production. I'm using it with great satisfaction on a Sony A7RII body. I'd say it's a great match. I also wait to try the 24-105 version just released.

Pros: Little aberration, light, fast autofocus, construction

Cons: For me no

Opinion: Quest optics, which use on Sony A7m2 and A7s, does not betray the expectations. Compared to Canon 16/35 LII, although it lacks the opening 2.8, it demonstrates a quality of image and constructive in my view of the same level if not higher. The Sony Zeiss optics for native A7 are not many, for the moment, especially in the zoom category but amongst all this and the best. If you consider the focal 16/35 has very little distortion and that very little even crushes to 35, then you zoom to full speed. A 16mm distorts a bit but nothing incorrigible. A 20 is perfect. Working discreetly to f4 and is already at the top at f5.6 Having a maximum aperture of f4 does not have the boken other optics but senz more pleasant and brings out the characteristics of all the Zeiss optics. Color, detail and dynamic range are not those of Serie A which, however, in addition to need adapter ring when mounting on Sony A7, exactly double the coast. There is, in the general quality of the optics, the difference in the price there. Fast and precise autofocus makes the most of the let systemture is Sony a7 that Sony a7s. Robust and light can not be missing in the kit of who clicks with A7.

Pros: Mechanical construction unexceptionable, dial change focal lengths with perfect fluidity. Incredibly major performances (at least in my copy) is almost at maximum aperture, or 4.5 !!

Cons: Loss of quality at smaller apertures; regretfully now it is known that the performance of each objective should be analyzed unit by unit, also the objectives Zeiss! Besides, you can not expect that the Zeiss products in Thailand undergo the same stringent quality control of a Zeiss built in Germany or Japan!

Opinion: In all focal lengths and all diaphragms there is little difference in quality between the center and edges of the image so I suggest you use this light always diaphragm rather open. A goal of average weight makes this light highly recommended for anyone who owns a Sony A7r: together the two instruments do not reach the weight of one kilogram. RNA part of the reserves of which I wrote, I think the Sony 16-35 perspective of high quality that can be used with satisfaction with all mirrorless Sony, even those equipped with the APS sensor which acts as an excellent 24-50 , although not light!

Pros: Sharpness, construction, fast in focus.

Cons: I think maybe not light, but well transportable.

Opinion: having taken just say this: being a wide-angle zoom would say excellent, very sharp wide open and construction by Zeiss. the ring is smooth and flowing, in short, is one Zeiss. for those who enjoy landscapes is a must. nowadays people feel that they can not turn with a few pounds too seems that now people can not stand even a gram more. this zoom lens certainly not lightweight but still not pesantissimo.consigliato.

Pros: Sharpness, construction, color rendering, resistance to flare

Cons: Weights and dimensions of slightly less than similar goal for SLR

Opinion: Wide-angle zoom of excellent quality. Like all dedicated lenses system Full Frame E-Mount lens exhibits excellent resolution with a sharpness wide open to good and very good center to the edges, which further improves stopping down to the classic openings to photograph landscapes. The building is really convincing, as one would expect from Zeiss, the sliding rings and fluid at the right point. The color rendering is very good. The main defects (distortion, common to a zoom wide angle like this, aberrations and vignetting) can be easily corrected with the classic profile lens available in major raw converter, while the jpeg you can already do it in your room. For those who practice photography landscape is definitely a lens to have.

Pros: target native, fast in focus

Cons: Chromatic aberration, sharpness is not exciting

Opinion: Honestly a lens marked Zeiss expected more, especially at that price. I had it on probation for a day, and I took advantage by taking a bit ', and making comparisons with the Nikon 16-35 mounted via adapter ring. rnOnestamente I expected much more .... the 16-35 proved to be absolutely the same level as regards the distortion ... and probably also for the sharpness. Instead the nikon wins by far the comparison on aberration chromatic ... I'm sorry not to have thought of resistance assessment flaring rnOnestamente ... I wanted this to have a kit lens optical native (and therefore lighter, and with Exif data on the pictures) .... but at this point I avoid carefully, and I keep my old Nikon ring ....
