There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Up to this point I had resisted buying this lens because of the price. Finally after exhausting virtually all other cheaper possibilities I spent the money!
I am happy to report it was the best money I have ever spent! This lens is beyond good it is insanely good and the best lens I have ever used in nearly every category. I went from an estimated 30% keeper rate with most other lenses to a 95% keeper rate with this lens! The auto focus accuracy, sharpness, and picture quality are off the charts and my customers have been astounded by the quality!
I cannot say enough about this lens coupled with the A7R IVA. It is mind blowingly good both for portrait and sports coverage and produces spectacular results with the right body!
I should mention it destroys the cheaper shorter range 70-180mm from a competing manufacturer.
Also be careful listening to biased influencers that profit financially or from receiving early access to new products. They may claim "the video is not sponsored" but receiving early (often pre-production) access to hot new products can also benefit them in terms of video views. What do you think happens to the early access a manufacturer gives them if their last product review was negative?
Bottom line is I do not write many glowing reviews but after spending a few weeks doing shoots with this lens I could not be happier!
I've done some test shots comparing against two other lenses in the focal range.
Comparing against the Sony 28mm with 16mm conversion lens and with the Zeiss FE 35mm F2.8 lens (my favorite)
Attached are a couple of test shots – nothing too special, I'm not DxOMark – check out their review when they get to it.
Pros:
- Solid Build – the high quality you'd expect from a GM lens.
- Surprisingly light – I have this mounted on an a7rii and it doesn't make the camera too front heavy.
- Has an 82mm filter thread – When you're getting down to 16mm it gets increasingly hard to find lenses that don't have a bulbous front element preventing a filter thread.
- The Bokeh this lens produces is beautiful – not as noticeable in the lower focal ranges, as you'd expect. But 35mm gives an even smoother depth of field than my Zeiss 35mm equivalent
- F2.8 at 16mm is impressive – For such a wide lens having the option to let in this much light is hard to come by.
- Very little distortion – even without correction there is surprisingly little distortion on this lens.
- Weather sealed!
Cons:
- The lens does extend when you use the wider end. Not a big deal, but it would have been nice to have that contained in the body.
- It's not small, but that's expected from this.
- When you use this with a filter, you will get a little bit of a vignetting from the filter – since the angle is so wide. Somewhat expected, but kind of a bummer. Even with 2 filters stacked, it's not noticeable above 20mm
Not much bad to say about this lens. It's incredibly sharp and performant, while not feeling like a burden to carry around.

Added comments March 11, 2021 - It has been 6 months with this lens. I have found more issues with it. Purple fringing is quite obvious and it cannot be corrected. It often happens when there is a big light contrast. But it could happen in the evening low light and the entire frame is clouded with purple. They cannot be corrected. After all, it is not a bad lens and is one of the most balanced high quality original. If I have to compare it (unfairly) against my Summilux 35mm, LOL - I would want to just throw this one in the bag.
I bought this lens to match my new A7R4. It is a perfect match and the most versatile. On the heavy side. But it feels very substantial and solid made. It covers city and landscape shooting, and meets 90% of the needs. If I bring just one lens on my camera and take a drive around town or nearby cities, it is this lens. If I have the appetite to carry more lenses, there will be lots of choices but they all come after this lens! Sigma 24-70? A good replacement, mostly for its price! Nothing can beat this 24-70 f/2.8 G Master!
