Sony FE 16-35 mm F2.8 GM II Lens

The lens is well built, easy to use & has a good array of features. Beautiful crisp images.

A cracking wee lens -quality glass, versatile and sharp

This lens is so sharp you could shave with it! The 16-35 GM II delivers stunning clarity across the frame, weighs less than you’d expect, and makes landscapes look like they were shot by someone far more talented than me. If you’re on the fence — stop faffing about and buy it. You won’t regret it.

Dear fellow phographer and technology admirers.

I like to upload picture but I shoot with A7R4 or Alfa 1. Hence file size are big and could not upload. Low grade file size cannot justify a genuine review.I really liked this lens.Light,smaller, superb picture quality, sharp and great contrast. Corner to corner uniformity. I did not face purple glare and one sided vineatting as reported by many. I might be licky with my copy. Only thing I notice is barrel distortion of verticle length. Although its correctable. I would give 4.5* due to this reason. Finally what would I recon.BUY yes go for it. its worth it.

Exactly what i expected from this lens, quality build, reliability and sharpness.

I wanted a wide angle lens for landscape photography, the attached images were taken on my first outing just to try it out, I’m amazed at how sharp the lens, the image of the cropped date from the original image hopefully shows this. The lens is well build, lightweight and great to handle on my A7r3.

This is a great lens, sharp corner to corner, light to carry, and with excellent build quality. Another excellent lens from Sony

The SEL1635GM2, FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM II, is an absolute gem. Its fast aperture and superb performance make it a versatile tool for both photography and videography. The image quality is nothing short of stunning, with sharpness across the frame and excellent control over aberrations. The lightweight design is a bonus, making it a joy to use on longer shoots.

The features packed into this lens are well worth the investment—it truly delivers on all fronts. My only wish is that it were a bit more affordable, but considering its quality and capabilities, it’s still a fantastic value. Highly recommended for professionals and serious enthusiasts alike!

This is a big upgrade from the Mark I that I used extensively for years as my main Sony lens. The Mark II is considerably smaller and lighter, with much faster, silent focus and a significant improvement in close-focusing ability. One thing I haven't seen mentioned in reviews is the beautiful bokeh at F2.8, especially in closeup shots: it is worthy of a prime lens making it an even better all-in-one travel lens. It isn't noticeably sharper than the Mark I but that wasn't lacking in this respect so it just maintains that high standard.

I was hesitant in between 3 different lenses and ended up with this masterpiece. I can't have all the features from all the 3 lenses, but I'm happy with my choice. I wanted to have an astrophotography, a street art and one for landscapes and this lens wasn't cheap, but I have pretty much all I wanted and I only have to carry one lens with me.
