A must have Sony lens
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Greatest Sony lens I’ve bought. I used to regret not getting the 12-24gm. But this lens is flawless. Shark any f stop, or zoom level. Clarity and colors it shows is superb. This lens barely comes off the camera. Fast autofocus too. It’s changed my photography.

Awesome but, Sigma is a little cost friendlier
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is an awesome lens for sure! Would get nothing but Sony lens if I had the money. But I returned and went with Sigma. OMG I can't tell the difference.

A must-have wide-angle lens for pros.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This lens is part of the 'holy trinity' of lenses. It offers a very wide angle of view and a superior 2.8 aperture so that it's great in low light situations. It is a pretty expensive lens, but the quality is there with little compromise.

16-35 G master lens
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a phenomenal lens. It’s one I almost always have with me. You can use it for so many different shots. If you need a good bokeh background, definitely not the lens though.

So far very impressed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was hesitant at first compared to the same style lens by Zeiss for a lot less money. However, I went with this lens bec I want to take my photography seriously. The quality of the pix are beautiful so I am content with my purchase. Great lens even though the price hurts a bit.

Sony G Master = Pro Grade
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony G Master lens are the best available consumer/pro level glass on the market and this lens does not disappoint. Its beefy - definitely has some heft/weight to it to carry around all day, but the results are stunning. I mean STUNNING.

A Tale of Two Lenses
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was the best of lenses options and it was the worst of cost…. I Love the variety of the focal lengths but after the purchase I realized I’m more of a “Prime” guy. That restocking fee is Brutal. It takes up a huge amount of space in my bag, it’s very front heavy and for those reasons I had to return it. Went with the non native options and got a Sony 20mm, F1.8 and the Sony 50mm,f1.2, I am comfortable with these two focal lengths

Great quality, not a fan of the reverse zoom
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The lens is very sharp and feels like a premium product. The only issue I have with the lens is that it works opposite every other 16-35 lens I've used. By default, when the lens is in its smallest form factor it is 35mm. In order to get the wide angle 16mm focal length the lens extends. Since we're using the lens on a gimbal this makes things more challenging and potentially risks damage to the lens since more of the elements are exposed when the lens extends.
