No lens hood!

Small, light, versatile…awesome!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve always lusted after those G-master lenses and especially a wide angle zoom variety. I’m sure the GM 16-35 2.8 is incredible but at a price of around $2000+, that’s just out of my price range and hard to justify. This lens is the answer! At about half the price, this still has a max 2.8 aperture, a physical aperture ring, great image quality, all while being quite light weight. The controls are also fantastic where it has a focus mode switch to switch between auto and manual as well as a customizable focus hold button. And of course, the physical aperture ring which you can set to be clicky or be smooth depending on your taste. One thing I was not expecting was the close-up performance where it can get as close as 0.18 meters or 0.59 feet. This allows me to get close to objects while still being able to get quite a bit of background which helps create more context and shows more of the scene. The 16-35 GM II has more range which is probably the only thing that makes a notable difference for me, however you can apparently still use up to a 2X teleconverter with this lens. So you could expand the range of this lens quite a bit with a converter while having more money in your pocket vs an FE 16-35 GM II. I couldn’t be happier with the performance of this lens and the lighter, more compact nature of this lens makes it even better.

Posted .Hi JosearmandoB, Sony's commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. The lens F stop can be changed on the lens or by using the camera control. To change via camera control, you will need to set the aperture ring to the letter "A" on the lens. We would like to thank you for you honest feedback regarding the zoom length when changed as it will help us to keep improving future products. Thank you for choosing Sony. -Linda 12-2-25 Sony Social Support
