    This lens costs more than the equivalent lens from Tamriel but if you can afford the extra cash it’s worth it. Ultra sharp images with straight horizontal lines even at 16mm.

    The Sony 16- 35 2.8 GM Lens is stellar and finding it as an open box in excellent condition was a rather huge savings.
