This is what i needed!
Resilentos Posted
I love it! Before buying this, I purchased the GMII version, double the price and heavier, and I was looking for something lighter with quality, and this lens delivered. The F4 could be an issue for many people, but quality speaking, is very similar to the GMII IMO. Good luck!

The best lens I’ve purchased
Zachary Posted
Really the perfect lens for everything. It’s small and light weight so putting it on a gimbal is a breeze. Also the power zoom is the most useful feature. No barrel zoom that throws off the weight when using a gimbal. Highly recommend for everyday use and especially for video productions.

The Little Lens That Could
JoseD Posted
I think I can. I think I can. Through storm and dust, sharp corners, f/2.8 wide— I think I can! And the 16-35mm G Master did.

Good lens but not great.
Mindcontrol Posted
F4 is pretty limiting, but I knew that when purchasing this lens. The lightweight and PZ feature is awesome. I don't mind the F4 as much as the lack of IQ specifically how sharp this lens is. The Tamron 17-28 2.8 is much sharper however you are loosing a few mm on the zoom end. This would make an excellent travel or hiking lens. It's a good lens but not great. The price isn't extremely steep either. Maybe it'll grow on me as I use it more, but as far as my first impressions I am not impressed.

Compact, lightweight, great performing ultra wide
TCLUser Posted
Lightweight wide angle zoom lens. Great lens for hiking or travel. The power zoom feature works well. Optical quality is very good. Compared to the old 16-35 ZA (which is also a good lens), this is better optically and quite a bit lighter. If you don't need a larger aperture, this is the wide angle zoom to get for Sony E mount cameras.

Excellent lens. Super sharp, great features.
LCooltech Posted
Super sharp, very light weight. Love the ability to control the f-stop from the lens instead of the camera. Also, the aperture ring can be used clicked or declicked for smooth transition while doing video. The zoom is smooth. The auto focus is very accurate and very fast.

Almost a perfect lens!
JohnR Posted
As soon as you open the box and hold it you know you have something special. The small size and build quality are the first indication that this lens might never leave your camera body but what comes next is the absolute pleasure of seeing what this lens produces shot after shot or frame after frame. A must have lens!

Excellent lens
MikeM Posted
The Sony 16-35mm PZ lens is an ultra sharp, lightweight lens, perfect for video as well as still photography. It has an impressive array of features. It pairs well with my Tamron 28-200mm lens on my Sony a7iv. Highly recommended!

Tiny and mighty!
Johnbus Posted
Amazing lens! The size of this is so incredible, about the size of a kit lens maybe a little smaller. The electronic zoom and focus is a little odd at first but you get used to it and it's actually really nice. Size and weight are always a huge deal to me and no problems hauling this around all day!

Great Lens!
BadBob Posted
Been trying this out for video and photography. Very light weight, easy to use, no telescoping of lens (critical for a gimbal), no vignetting that I could tell, sharp photos. I agree with all the reviews - a great lens!

ProbeYT Posted
Did my research and watched multiple videos but, after having the Lens in hand i realized how good it really was. While yes its a F4 it can still with stand most scenarios because at least for me I shoot mostly in the day. The low light isn’t bad but it can always be better. If your looking for a high quality lens that is compact both in size and prize, I would highly recommend this one.

Perfect travel and hiking lens
KrishnaP Posted
What an amazing lens for travel and hikes. I have a 16-35GM lens and with my tennis elbow issues decided to go light on my Madeira Hiking trip and got this lens. I am amazed at how good the lens is. Almost sharp edges as well. I need to sell my GM lens as I feel this is just as good or better. The only time I needed to change to 20mm f1.8 prime was when shooting inside churches as f4 is not wide enough.

F/4 for frame is more than enouogh!
JordanG Posted
I love this lens, and Best Buy for having it in stock. I had a paid shoot coming up and needed a wide angle zoom, Best Buy had me ready to go in under an hour and it did not disappoint. Smooth and quiet focus/ zoom, sharp as a tack and despite it's technical flaws, lens corrects makes this unbeatable for a ocket sized power zoom

Amazing lens!
Keelveen Posted
I use this lens on my Sony A7III for real estate photography as I needed a wide angle lens that would capture wider details without causing a fisheye effect. I was amazed on my results with its sharpness and precision. This is truly an amazing lens, at an amazing price, I highly recommend this lens!

Above average not excellent
Aleman Posted
Thera many important features in this lens, aperture ring excellent, power zoom useful, AF/MF, good, focus and costume bottom good, Focus and Zoom rings above average, F4 not so good y low light, but for street and landscape photography in day time awesome, but I feel the price should be no more than $1000, I forgot Bestbuy charge fee for returns I won’t do it again. That is just my personal opinion.
