Pros: More than I imagined

Cons: Less than I imagined

Opinion: I got it on Friday 7 March changing it with the Sony 16 35 (not because it was not valid on the contrary) because having taken the Tamron 28 200 it was the ideal lens for my kit for my needs and abilities. As soon as it was put on it was love at first sight, of course you have to know how to use it especially at 12 mm but you get used to it. Better the tripod. Now with the Sony A 7 lll , Tamron 28 200 and Sony 12 24 F4 G are perfect. As soon as I have more information I update, recommended at 100 x 100

Pros: Addictive focal range, average optical quality, weight and footprint

Cons: Ortically it gives its best after 15mm, a little flare, if it reached 28 it would be even better

Opinion: It's a lens that I love, the kind you always want to have with you. A zoom that drops to 12 mm is seriously addictive. However, it is a difficult lens and not without defects, but this also makes it its personality. The merits (many) are the exceptional focal range on FF with such a low weight: there are less extreme APS-C zooms that weigh one and a half times, just to say. Optically it is really good from 15 upwards, below it is very good in the center, in the extreme corners it is slightly less bright but nothing that you cannot use professionally. Given the bulbous lens it suffers a bit from flare, again nothing serious. Distortion and vignetting in the norm, perhaps a little less than other comparable lenses. Obviously such an extreme UWA must be used carefully, perspective distortion is around the corner at the slightest inclination. Arriving a little longer would be ideal, but you would probably pay in size. In my opinion it is a must have for those who do architecture photography on Sony; I also prefer it to the GM, which is optically superior, due to its greater lightness and compactness.

Pros: Angle of field, more than discrete construction, sharpness, weight

Cons: Very light flare in backlight but bearable, the cost from new.

Opinion: I'm more than happy with the goal, great in all situations, stay in my pocket, I press that I get to mirrorless from 10 years of REFLEX, I was tired of weights and clutter. I didn't find any chromatic aberrations except a little bit. Fast focus. Used only for photography and not for video. At the price of the new, important in my opinion, I remedied and gave myself a great used.

Pros: sharp, compact, well-built, focal up to 12mm

Cons: a little flare in the backlight

Opinion: Fabulous, I love wide-anglers I fell in love with it right away, it's a pleasure to use it. The overall yield is great. I see that there are those who complain about the price, certainly it does not cost little but it is worth the whole figure up to the last penny. The only flaw I find is that little flare that occasionally peeps into the backlights. Overall: but why didn't I take it before?!?
