    Very sharp lens through out the zoom range. I enjoy shooting with this lens and is probably the sharpest in its class.

    Blurred image when zooming in or out fast

    I don't know how there is no information about this issue online but when doing fast zooms in or out this lens completely blurs the image for a split second. This does not happen on the Canon 16-35 and I have multiple friends with this same Sony lens which all encounter the same blurring issue. Wouldn't be a problem for photos but for video it's unusable and I had to return the day after I purchased it.

    Incredible Piece of Glass

    I travel. It’s what I do. I had been on the fence about the 16-35 GM as I have a 24-70 GM. Was it too much overlap and frivolous? This lens is absolutely incredible. From the first shot I was floored by the color and detail that I captured. I am currently in north Georgia and I can’t wait to take it out for a real shoot of scenery and stars. I cannot recommend it enough! It is fantastic! Good job Sony!

    Sharp to the corners, low distortion!

    This is a great lens, worthy of the "GM" moniker. I have used a LOT of different wide angle lenses and wide angle zooms, but this is one of the best I've ever used. Highly recommended for Sony A7RIII + shooters!

    I brought it in Europe last month. What an incredible lens. All the photos are ultrasharp. But I miss my 24-70mm GM for extra reach.
