Pros: Virtually perfect optics in every respect

Cons: The AF seems to work much less well on the A7iii than on the A7riv, it doesn't have much character.

Opinion: I have owned it for 6 months now. Perfect optics, I come from a Tamron 17-28 and I don't regret the gearbox, even if it is definitely heavier and bulkier. Optically almost perfect, it is very correct, from this point of view perhaps it does not have the same "character" as other GMs but if you are looking for the personal touch you don't go for this type of optics, so that's okay. I noticed that, compared to the 24-70 and 70-200 that I both have GMii, the AF reacts less well on my A7iii than on the A7r4, I hope that a firmware update will make it more prone to older bodies. It doesn't drive me crazy that the zoom is external and it doesn't make me crazy that it lengthens as the focal length is shortened, because it makes it less instinctive. For those who also make videos I recommend a powerful stabilizer or when calibrated you end up going crazy (I use Ronin S2 and I'm in trouble). For the rest, it is really worth the money it costs.

Pros: Lightness and compactness compared to the previous model. Optical quality across the entire frame.

Cons: High price, lack of stabilization.

Opinion: I sold my old 16-35 GM and with this second version I renewed the triad of GM IIs (16-35/24-70/70-200). Compared to the previous one it is more compact and lighter and the optical quality at least for the few photos I took seems to me to have improved, especially at the edges. Compared to the 12-24 GM it is obviously lighter and more compact and with a focal range that is perhaps more usable, even if less extreme. In fact, I kept the 12-24 GM anyway. So far I've been very happy with it. In case I will update this review in the future. Along with a few more photos.
