  1. Simon

    Very light lens (in a good way). I feel like I’d keep it on the camera the most from now on. It’s sharp, extremely fast focus, and silent. It is also well balanced on the camera. Very easy to move with it. I guess that’s what they claim about it being good for gimbals, but I don’t have a gimbal to compare. The bokeh is good if you get very close to the subject. If you need 16-35 and don’t mind F4, this lens is the best. Don’t forget the video which all other lenses in this category have issues with.

  2. JCCC

    Impresionante and impressive rime with the quality

  3. BadBob

    Been trying this out for video and photography. Very light weight, easy to use, no telescoping of lens (critical for a gimbal), no vignetting that I could tell, sharp photos.

    I agree with all the reviews – a great lens!

  4. Tuan

    Perfect walkaround lens. Great for landscape and for street photography. Super sharp corner to corner thought the focal length. This lens is targeted for video but love this for photography. Very lightweight and perfectly balanced on my Sony A9 camera.

  5. TheTalentedMrWes

    I attempted to buy a Zoom Lens, this was a decent lens but, as most of the lenses I own are f1.2 to f1.8, with a few f2.5. So, going to f4.0 was a challenge. The lens does what it is supposed to do, it just wasn’t for me.

  6. ISLANDJAC

    The Sony power zoom 16-35mm len is the latest and greatest len from Sony for Vloging and shotting with or without a gimbal s master len without breaking the bank

  7. Mindcontrol

    F4 is pretty limiting, but I knew that when purchasing this lens. The lightweight and PZ feature is awesome. I don’t mind the F4 as much as the lack of IQ specifically how sharp this lens is. The Tamron 17-28 2.8 is much sharper however you are loosing a few mm on the zoom end. This would make an excellent travel or hiking lens. It’s a good lens but not great. The price isn’t extremely steep either. Maybe it’ll grow on me as I use it more, but as far as my first impressions I am not impressed.

  8. Johnbus

    Amazing lens! The size of this is so incredible, about the size of a kit lens maybe a little smaller. The electronic zoom and focus is a little odd at first but you get used to it and it’s actually really nice. Size and weight are always a huge deal to me and no problems hauling this around all day!

  9. Oleg

    Convenient light power zoom lens, but…..

    The contrast is not good.
    Huge distracting flares.
    Lens hood is no help in reducing flares. If the sun is above, the contrast will decrease and you will see flares all over. Make sure the sun is always behind.
    The lens is usable, considering that I got it at OpenBox price. it has some limitations, but can be manageable if the light source is behind.
    The attached screenshot shows reduced contrast when the light source is above. The image was taken at 11 am at F4 24mm.

  10. kano0668

    Great travel lens. Bought it to take to my Italy trip. Needed something small, light weight with wide angle to capture the great scenery. Expensive but compared to other lenses with the similar focal length, it’s the best choice. Great quality. Pictures comes out sharp.

  11. SHOTSBYCOLEY

    As a photographer having the right lens is vital and this did the trick for me

  12. AmirN

    A sharp, light and compact lens. Perfect for gimbal video use. Focus is fast and quiet. Power zoom is a nice feature for some video clips.

  13. TCLUser

    Lightweight wide angle zoom lens. Great lens for hiking or travel. The power zoom feature works well. Optical quality is very good. Compared to the old 16-35 ZA (which is also a good lens), this is better optically and quite a bit lighter. If you don’t need a larger aperture, this is the wide angle zoom to get for Sony E mount cameras.

  14. KrishnaP

    What an amazing lens for travel and hikes. I have a 16-35GM lens and with my tennis elbow issues decided to go light on my Madeira Hiking trip and got this lens. I am amazed at how good the lens is. Almost sharp edges as well. I need to sell my GM lens as I feel this is just as good or better. The only time I needed to change to 20mm f1.8 prime was when shooting inside churches as f4 is not wide enough.

  15. JohnR

    As soon as you open the box and hold it you know you have something special. The small size and build quality are the first indication that this lens might never leave your camera body but what comes next is the absolute pleasure of seeing what this lens produces shot after shot or frame after frame. A must have lens!

  16. Alfonso

    In use for only 3 weeks, the lens is good+ for photography and video! Do not know yet if price was justified , future use will tell.

  17. lilpoopoo

    superlative i liked it alot it is good for big roomy

  18. ItineraryVaries

    Its ok, but for the price id rather grab a GMblens.

  19. DavidO

    Great Ken’s clear and just the right amount of depth

  20. Aleman

    Thera many important features in this lens, aperture ring excellent, power zoom useful, AF/MF, good, focus and costume bottom good, Focus and Zoom rings above average, F4 not so good y low light, but for street and landscape photography in day time awesome, but I feel the price should be no more than $1000, I forgot Bestbuy charge fee for returns I won’t do it again. That is just my personal opinion.

  21. IoanaM

    Great lens, image looks very crispy and the lens feels super light

  22. Keith

    This is a great lens for taking real estate photos, or shooting videos where you need to capture a wider angle. It also has some great features like power zoom. Would recommend.

  23. Unknown

    The lightest F4 16-35 mm for full frame in the market! It is one of the best when it comes to portability and usability!

  24. DanielM

    It’s s very good lens! I personally use it for weddings video and real state photography.

  25. TerryW

    Just what I needed. Needed a lens that could capture more of the surroundings and the Sony PZ has been perfect for me so far.

  26. Elite

    Would highly recommend this lense just based off how light and the great built it has. Very good!

  27. JordanG

    I love this lens, and Best Buy for having it in stock. I had a paid shoot coming up and needed a wide angle zoom, Best Buy had me ready to go in under an hour and it did not disappoint.

    Smooth and quiet focus/ zoom, sharp as a tack and despite it’s technical flaws, lens corrects makes this unbeatable for a ocket sized power zoom

  28. ProbeYT

    Did my research and watched multiple videos but, after having the Lens in hand i realized how good it really was. While yes its a F4 it can still with stand most scenarios because at least for me I shoot mostly in the day. The low light isn’t bad but it can always be better. If your looking for a high quality lens that is compact both in size and prize, I would highly recommend this one.

  29. AwakenS

    This lense has been perfect for creating different creatives for our business. Whether it is for a photo shoot or video for our advertisements, it has provided the right pixel angle for each shoot.

  30. Angel

    I have used this one for videography over the past month, and I have loved every second of it. The wide angle is amazing for indoor shots

  31. MichaelD

    Such a beat of a lens…compact light and super sharp.

  32. DumitruR

    The best all in one lens you can get for almost any type of project

  33. LCooltech

    Super sharp, very light weight. Love the ability to control the f-stop from the lens instead of the camera. Also, the aperture ring can be used clicked or declicked for smooth transition while doing video. The zoom is smooth. The auto focus is very accurate and very fast.

  34. Sone

    Wide lens with internal zoom! I’m able to use this on my gimble without having to rebalance. Image is perfect. I can punch in with crop sensor on my Sony 7R3.

  35. BomboVarga1981

    Wow! This lens is professional grade especially if used in videography. Great for Vlogging. If you have a mirror less camera, this is a must buy.

  36. Luis

    If you like to make youtube videos, vlogs, or just create content in general where a wide field of vidw is required, this is the lens for you. I absolutely love this lens, even with its 4.0 apeture. I create youtube videos ans this lens does everything i need it to. Sharp, fast autofocus, light weight, I promise you wont be disappointed!

  37. DGomez

    Great picture quality. Affordable, and good enough in low light.

  38. Keelveen

    I use this lens on my Sony A7III for real estate photography as I needed a wide angle lens that would capture wider details without causing a fisheye effect. I was amazed on my results with its sharpness and precision. This is truly an amazing lens, at an amazing price, I highly recommend this lens!

  39. Gopal

    This is now my go to lens for all hikes and outdoors. It’s light weight, covers a nice Zoom range for nature scenary and also great for indoor photography!

  40. Judy2Good

    The lenses are impressive in quality construction. Great use of adjustment. Love it.

  41. Ralph

    Amazing lens. My third silver G lens. Love all of them

  42. PeterA

    There is no better then this one..all around, I used for Real Estate Photography and videography

  43. RickyG

    This lens is a great value for the price. The EZ is the best and most natural feeling electric zoom I’ve used. I haven’t used any other lens in this focal range, but I ended up going for this one because F4 wasn’t an issue for me. Try watching youtube reviews on some comparisons to get a better idea on the performance of this lens. I would highly recommend this lens for anyone who doesn’t need anything with a lower aperture!

  44. AlexG

    Amazing lens! Took nice crisp images for the DIY renovation work I am doing around the house. Great buy!

  45. MikeM

    The Sony 16-35mm PZ lens is an ultra sharp, lightweight lens, perfect for video as well as still photography. It has an impressive array of features. It pairs well with my Tamron 28-200mm lens on my Sony a7iv. Highly recommended!

  46. OmiPNW

    The videos are good for vlog i also was hoping sharp photos for landcsape photography but the photos isnt that shap even at f22

  47. Keith

    Fantastic lens. Perfect size with a lot of versatility. Was just what I needed for landscape. Decent for portraits too but not enough bokeh to justify.

  48. JosephL

    Excellent lens! This lens is much lighter than the original 16 to 35 T Sony e mount lens. If you were using this lens on a gimbal it is a must buy!

  49. bflan

    This is a great lens. It’s not too heavy and works well for landscape shots. I wish the f stop were lower but not bad

  50. Macdude48

    I purchased this lens to use on my Sony A7RV. As far as IQ and rendering, this lens is just as sharp as its bigger GMii sibling. It has better IQ than the previous GM 16-35! It’s small size and light weight make it a stellar choice for street, landscape, and general photo sessions. The demanding 61 mp sensor on my A7RV plays very well with this lens, so the 33mp A7IV would be even better (I own that camera as well). I’m pairing this with another fantastic Sony lens, the Sony 20-70 F/4.
