    So I had to sell my soul and quit my job to be able to afford this lens but it was all worth it 10/10 . On a real note this lens is completely worth it and very sharp

    This lens is tack sharp and a great range at 16-35mm. I actually have this on my camera (sony a7rII) most of the time. Great quality and sharpness. My only gripe is that it's an F/4. If this lens is a 2.8, it would get 5 stars for sure, F/4 seems a little dated especially at such a high price point.

    As title states, this is a great lens but pretty heavy due to metal body. Solid construction awesome glass . Considering I paid $300 more only a couple years ago for this is quite a downer to say the lease. At the price it’s at now it’s a great value.

    This is a great zoom range and the ultra wide end is quite sharp when closed down a little. Only caveat is the F4.0 aperture and the drop in image quality at 35mm end. Considering the high price this is not the best value.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
