Kokemukset ja arvostelut

I have been using this lens for a few months with my Sony A7III full frame camera and have been very pleased with the results. The lens provides excellent sharpness across the entire frame. Colour fringing is also minimal. I initially though of buying a cheaper 16mm third party lens but I appreciate the benefit I get from the Sony's zoom capabilities and wanted assured quality, not just a lower price. Attached are a few photos taken straight from camera with no editing.

This is my favourite lens for travel and street photography. The f-stop at 4 is good for letting in decent light onto the sensor. And this is helpful for architecture, street, real-estate photography I do. Even for outdoor events, this wider focal length gives a whole new perspective. The bokeh is minimal to none, but picture quality is top notch and sharp from corner to corner. Much affordable compared to G-Master, and Zeiss coating on the lens controls the dispersion giving almost similar results to a 16-35 G master. The human eye in daylight works at a f/8 and I use that as a benchmark for every lens I use in daylight. The results at f6.3-f8 have always been the sharpest, and I just love this lens. I also like the fact this isn't having any buttons. just a zoom ring, and a focus ring. I would probably like an aperture ring that is clickable, in it's next iteration.

I have owned this lens for a few weeks now and it’s an absolute workhorse. Great optics in a robust body.

Käytän tätä a7RIII rungossa, joka kennonsa puolesta paljastaa armotta eri objektiivien hyveet ja heikkoudet ja tämä objektiivi on jokaisen ylistyssanansa arvoinen.

Vaihdoin tämän Sigma ART 24mm f1.4:ään ja Sonyssa parempaa on sävytoisto, terävyys ja kontrasti. Erityisesti sävymaailma oli se mihin ensimmäiseksi kiinnitin huomiota talvisissa maisemakuvissa, kun Sonylla ne ovat lähes valmiita (makuasia toki) suoraan kamerasta, Sigmalla sai säätää jälkikäsittelyssä huomattavasti enemmän, johtuen Sigman omanlaisesta, ei niin luonnollisesta sävymaailmasta (liikaa lämpimään kallellaan).

Toki 16mm ff-kennolla jo aiheuttaa tynnyrivääristymää, mutta yllättävän maltillista se tällä on ja helposti jälkikäsittelyssä korjattavissa, jos näkee aiheelliseksi.

Erittäin kirkkaassa talvisessa aurinkomaisemassa tuli testattua objektiivin heijastuksen sietokykyä ja olin positiivisesti yllättynyt. Toki sellaista saa aikaiseksi, mutta melko minimalistista ja ei todellakaan joka tilanteessa tule edes esille.

Mikään sunstar-ihme tämä ei ole, mutta se ei taida olla se olennaisin osa-alue tällä kuvatessa, eli jos sellaisen perään haikailee, niin silloin kannattaa katsastaa Voigtländerit ym. vst. tuotteet.

Vaikka valovoima on ainoastaan f4, se ei ole niin merkityksellistä tämän kanssa, sillä varsinkin maisema/arkkitehtuurikuvauksissa jalusta on tärkeä työkalu, mutta jos kuvauksissa ei jalustaa käytössä, niin tämän vakaaja on luokkaa uskomaton, sen verran tehokas että käsivaralta voi aika huoletta kuvata lähes miten tahansa.

Summa summarum, huippuskarppi kuvanlaatu upealla luonnollisella sävymaailmalla objektiivilta, jossa tehokas kuvanvakaaja ja koko paketti kevyessä teknisesti hyvin rakennetuissa kuorissa ja monipuolisella polttovälialueella, siis todellinen jokapaikanhöylä.

Love it, super sharp! super high quality, and high value for money compared with competitors

This lens has always produced excellent image quality, very sharp even on the A7RIV (I've only used it stopped down), with only very slight softness in the corners. It's nice and light so not a chore to carry on long treks. Weather sealing appears to be very good.

I shoot surf photography and sharks and this is actually a great lens because I’m shooting higher apertures I don’t need it to be super low, but the focal length it perfect for me as I love 35mm but the 16mm gives me a view that really opens up making it great for up close sharks or up close surfers.

Excellent lens for the function. Nothing bad about it.

Wanted to explore it more… my lady took it and does not want to return it.

Still too early to write more, so far is is great, and believe will amaze more during the continuous use

I bought this over a month ago it’s a great lens and I’m very happy with it.

The F4 FE1635Z makes for an excellent balance between price, performance and features.

Unusual for this type of lens (16-35mm) is its built in optical stabilization. This feature increases its versatility and compliments its superb lens performance.

Bought two as the first one I sold and greatly regretted the decision. The best wide angle lens there is when mounted on a Sony body

On an A7iii this is amazing - small & light enough to carry all day, super sharp up to about 32mm, plenty of reach if needed by selecting APS-C in an emergency. A perfect Landscape lens, but also my number 1 travel lens. So smooth to zoom or focus. 72mm. The close focus is so good it also makes an excellent environmental portrait lens for many macro-subjects. Hold it really high & look downish for people, or use it low to the ground for landscapes. I just wish it had a focus-hold button, an OS switch or a MF switch.

I bought this lens two months ago and I'm happy I did it

I changed from Nikon to Sony because I wanted to go mirrorless and the Sony fitted the bill. I'm using the Sony a7111 with the Vario-Tessar T* FE 16-35mm F4 ZA.

It would be an understatement to say that I love this lens!

It's sharp, and I mean SHARP! Once focussed it stays there, the focussing ring is smooth but firm, no creep whatsoever. I mostly use manual focus but this cameras auto focus is very fast and accurate. Shooting mostly at f11, edge to edge and corner to corner images are sharp enough to cut through doors at Fort Knox. Of course it's down to me to make sure I focus accurately but when I get it right I couldn't be happier with the results. It's not Sony's top 16-35 zoom but from the build quality and performance you'd think it was!

Highly recommended...

I recently purchased this lens and so far I an delighted with the results it lives up to expectations

Super sharp, top build, smooth action..... just love it!

Good lens with sharp images and fast focus. Much cheaper than a 2.8 g master with enough change to buy a couple of other lenses.

I love landscape and architecture photography, and this lens is perfect for that. It's a bit bulky and heavy to carry around all day.

I was looking for a high quality wide zoom for my Sony A7Riii, mainly for landscape work. The obvious candidates were the Sony f/4 or the GM f/2.8 lenses. Having checked various websites and compared test shots I bought the F4 ZA and have not been disappointed in any way. IQ is excellent - I don't often print 3-metre wide images, though they appear perfectly OK on-screen. The size and weight are modest, especially in view of the IQ delivered, and build quality cannot be faulted. A truly excellent lens.

Hankin tämän maisema- ja potrettikuvaukseen. Projekti kesken. Voin analysoida myöhemmin:) Sounds good!

Using this lens for landscape and architecture and so far i’m Very pleased.

I bought this when I broke my 5d Mark iii along with the A7Riii and the image quality is loads better than with my 11-24mm. Focus is quick and overall image qulaity is fantastic.

Picked up this lens a week ago and have tried it out at home and at a wedding. I recently traded in my canon 5divs for two a7iii's and the 16-35 was a lens I used for a limited number of shots during the day, yet essential ones. it joined my new 85 1.4 G master and 35 f1.4 distagon (please make a Gmaster 35 f1.4 as soon as possible!). I am pleased to report that the 16-35 f/4 vario- Tessar is not only comparable to the canon version, but it seems to be sharper, while being slightly smaller lighter. Probably because of the absence if is, but still. A great lens that I'm very glad to have in my kit. My only gripe is that it is a little expensive for what you get, and I am not sure why. I gave design four stars because the focus is not internal and I would like a manual focus switch.
