    Best GM lens

    G Master definitely represents the top of the line lens for Sony. My camera is the A9ii which is meant for all GM glass. Buying this lens exceeded all my expectations. Sharp from corner to corner. Remember Sony Cameras and lens can go much higher on F stop mean F10 and above for outdoors and high ISO. Night its tack sharp at 2.8 as well. Do not waste time by trying to go cheap if you already invested in a top notch camera.

    First impressions of this lens are really good. I've done some test shots comparing against two other lenses in the focal range. Comparing against the Sony 28mm with 16mm conversion lens and with the Zeiss FE 35mm F2.8 lens (my favorite) Attached are a couple of test shots – nothing too special, I'm not DxOMark – check out their review when they get to it.

    This lens is great for landscape photography and zooms to 35mm for portraits without looking rounded or distorted. I highly recommend this lens, a 50mm f1.4 and the 70-200 f2.8 g master.

    DESERT STEALTH LENS!

    This was the pre-eminent lens in this category and is an absolute go to landscape lens for tourist rich kids at Burning Man. Why haul 3 primes when you know you can't change them in the dust and drugs of a hot desert night? This is the answer to all those pro's with their medium format Hasselblad 12mm fisheye poser images stealing your instagram influencer girlfriend with their superior web content. AND THIS IS THE EXACT SAME LENS JIMI HENDRIX USED TO PHOTOGRAPH THE BEATLES AT MONTEREY POP IN 1967. Own a piece of history and a yardstick of notoriety!
