- The world’s smallest, lightest1 full-frame F2.8 wide-angle zoom: Even though it is the smallest and lightest full-frame F2.8 16-35 mm zoom in the world, the FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM II delivers extraordinary image quality thanks to XA elements and Super ED glass in an advanced optical design.

Changes the game
This lens completely changed my camera, i had the standard kit lens when you buy the A7IV which is decent and gets the job done but this makes such a world of a difference lol. The sharpness of the image is unreal, the price sucks but you get what you pay for. I use this camera for a mix of things, I vlog with it for my social media page and just got back into photography with it. The aperture ring is so nice to have and it is lighter than the first edition which is great. The goal is to get the trinity: 16-35, 24-70, and 70-200. These lenses are built to last a very long time and will capture life greatest moments in the best of quality. For that I am willing to shell out the extra money. Buy once cry once

Superior Landscape Lens
So much lighter and compact in comparison to Sony’s first 16-35mm GM. The build quality is great and the aperture ring is a nice touch. I would recommend this lens to anyone who is willing to purchase at such an expensive price point. I haven’t done Astro with it yet, but will report back.
