Pros: GMaster quality, construction, speed

Cons: If I really have to find one, no stabilization

Opinion: GMaster lens wonderful and sharp at all focal lengths, I was skeptical for those who criticized the sharpness at the edges but I can confirm that it is absolutely reliable and sharp at all apertures and focal lengths. Also excellent on important sensors such as A7RIII, it returns all the detail you look for in such a sensor. The cost is not indifferent but the quality is really up to par. Even the af, as much as it may be worth on such a perspective, does not disappoint and is very precise. Tropicalized to be able to shoot in all conditions. In short, the top. Rating: 10

Pros: Quality, sharpness, tropicalization

Cons: Nothing, maybe the price

Opinion: I have owned it for about two years, I consider it one of the best lenses in the Sony house (and perhaps unbeatable in the wide-angle category, nothing to envy to canon or Nikon). I shoot there of any category (dayscape, night landscape, astrophotography/aurora, etc.) and it never disappointed me. I combine it with the A7R IV (light noises, but it is for 61MP of A7R IV, there is, correctable in Adobe, in question the optics have nothing to do with it). I love her. It costs, yes, but we are talking about a very high quality. I will not go into details because others, here in the reviews, have already talked about it. I associate them. Take it and you will not regret it. I will probably take the Sony 14 1.8 to match this 16-35 2.8 for greater aperture (mm and aperture).

Pros: The wide angle par excellence

Cons: Good stuff costs!

Opinion: Of the Sony lenses I own and those I owned, this is by far what I love deeply, more than its older brother 24-70GM. An exceptional lens both for its compact size and for the build quality. The use of this jewel is not only for landscape photography, it is a lens that has exceptional versatility in any photographic situation (ceremonial, travel, street, architecture, portraits). The sharpness levels are very high and holds up well even with mirrorless like the a7R3 and R4, always sharp from the center, at the corners it is a soft hair but the yield levels are high, even at closed apertures f11/13. the various defects are well contained, obviously greater eye to the 16mm focal length where it distorts and vignettes in an evident way but it manages well, The chromatic aberrations hold well, The only defect is the tightness of the flares (especially a Rainbow flare). It has good bokeh great for portraits and other various contexts. Of all that I wrote the real flaw is the price, but basically the good stuff costs! Mistake?

Pros: Weight, resolution, flexibility, blurry, build quality, lampshed, effective tropicalization

Cons: Important price, front width

Opinion: I'm enjoying the 16-35 GM for a year and a half. I took everything: morning landscapes, architecture, milky way but also portraits set thanks to the excellent blurry that the 11 slats create at 35mm. It produces a good star at f/16 and the solvence is excellent at all focal points, even at 35mm. is the smallest and lightest 16-35 f/2.8 on the market. Nevertheless, it has a slightly conical shape that causes the end part to be a little too wide. The diameter of the filters is still 82mm (like the other 16-35 2.8) so you can find all brands and types. The construction quality is excellent, very nice the lampshon with velvety interior and unlock button. The excellent resolution on the canvas side allows you to avoid the purchase of a "bridge" lens: I traveled through Italy, Peru, Jordan, Ireland, France, Holland with the 16-35 combined with an 85mm (which I only recently replaced with a 70-180 f/2.8 for an even more versatile combo) and I never felt the lack of something that filled the gap. It handles the A7RIV's 60mpx great and I've tested its tropicalization on a couple of occasions, brilliantly passing the test. I don't see a single reason to prefer it to the f/4 model unless you have to save money at all costs, or you've had an unmissable opportunity, or you still don't have an extra cm of space in your bag. Or if you only take a closed diaphragm.

Pros: Construction, Optical Yield, Distortion, Star, Screw Filters

Cons: Clutter, price on the new ("the good stuff costs")

Opinion: Taken used to replace the tamron 17-28 that did not satisfy me both in terms of excursion and optical yield... well I have to say I made the best purchase ever. I also read reviews on other platforms that find it little engraved at 35mm... I honestly find it a blade in all contexts! already at F4 you reach a sharpness equal to some fixed. It returns faithful colors and an excellent microcontrasto.... on the other hand, just look at the MFT. It solves all 42Mpixels of my RIII very well. At closed diaphragms it returns an unparalleled star. I don't know what else to say... I find it great. Great for those who, like me, were often on out-of-the-door trips to constantly change the lens between 35mm and wide angle. Now I have one less lens and so much more quality!
