    I bought this lens right before a trip to New York and it performed amazingly. The OSS was very handy for run and gun shooting. Also the lens was very sharp from 16mm to about 28mm. Even at 35mm I consider it to be acceptable, just not as sharp as the lower focal lengths. The build quality is amazing. This lens performs well at f4 but phenomenally at f8.

    I shoot a Sony a7r, primarily for seascape and landscape work. I've found that the FE16-35 is best from 16-28, and quite good from 28 on out to 35. It's built well and has the resolving power to take advantage of the a7r's sensor. Highly recommended.

    I was skeptical of purchasing this lens. But I was absolutely wrong in every way. The lens is great at F/5.6 and all the way up to F/22. If there is any correction required, Lightroom takes care of it. The lens is well built with a solid sturdy ring which provides a wonderful feel when you hold it. The pictures are outstanding and there is so much to do with it. Highly recommended!!!
