  • Key Specs
    • Lens Mount Compatibility: Sony E-Mount
    • Lens Type: Wide Angle zoom
    • Minimum Focal Length: 16 millimeters (The minimum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The shorter the focal length, the greater the area of scene captured.)

    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.
