Pros: Sharpness, easy handling, solid construction

Cons: Tropicalization

Opinion: Used in tandem with Sony a7rIII for a trip to Iceland. Excellent resolution, very versatile length 16-30mm. The only problem encountered, tropicalization is not always optimal: in situations of transition from hot to cold or with a lot of humidity it has made an internal condensation (it happened 2 times but used in conditions of extreme stress, for example under a roaring waterfall!). After 15/30 minutes the condensation disappears by itself, but it made me throw away some otherwise excellent shots. Excellent build quality, price appropriate to the yield.

Pros: Construction, IQ, AF

Cons: there is currently no dedicated Adobe profile

Opinion: The 16-30 G2 evolves the already excellent previous model, increasing its angle. I used it both in full format, where it works very well as a bright wide-angle zoom and in APSc where it performs the task of a bright normal zoom very well. Great either way! The construction is also very good, like the other G2s, with which it forms a truly competitive and high quality trio, offering an excellent alternative to official products with high savings. Highly recommended. At the time of writing, Camera Raw is not able to automatically correct RAW, while Jpegs - the closest profile is that of the previous model but I think it will be a transient problem and fixed in one of Adobe's next updates.
