  1. TheTalentedMrWes

    It was the best of lenses options and it was the worst of cost….
    I Love the variety of the focal lengths but after the purchase I realized I’m more of a “Prime” guy. That restocking fee is Brutal.
    It takes up a huge amount of space in my bag, it’s very front heavy and for those reasons I had to return it.
    Went with the non native options and got a Sony 20mm, F1.8 and the Sony 50mm,f1.2, I am comfortable with these two focal lengths

  2. charlie

    This was the pre-eminent lens in this category and is an absolute go to landscape lens for tourist rich kids at Burning Man. Why haul 3 primes when you know you can’t change them in the dust and drugs of a hot desert night? This is the answer to all those pro’s with their medium format Hasselblad 12mm fisheye poser images stealing your instagram influencer girlfriend with their superior web content. AND THIS IS THE EXACT SAME LENS JIMI HENDRIX USED TO PHOTOGRAPH THE BEATLES AT MONTEREY POP IN 1967. Own a piece of history and a yardstick of notoriety!

  3. Goose

    It’s definitely going to give you the best pictures but recommend waiting unless you’re getting paid good with photography or videography

  4. JDenero

    Best wide angle lense for Sony. Super high quality, crisp and easy.

  5. JCGREG

    It has excellent focus on everything and is a plus for an a7R4.

  6. Lolo

    The lens is great except that occassionally the wide angle can distort the picture if it is a closed area and the room is small

  7. PeakDesign

    My favorite zoom lens! Perfect for landscape/street photography & video. Also best zoom lens for vloggin as well. Worth every penny!

  8. PremiumBuyer

    Amazing lenses for wide angle shots! Well worth the money. It takes magazine quality images.

  9. Alicia

    I saved my pennies and made this purchase. The lens is quality and produces amazing images. Very happy with this purchase.

  10. Dante

    This is an awesome lens If you’re doing real estate sports games or landscape

  11. TechJunkie

    Fantastic lens and excellent clarity. I have been using the lens for close to 11 months and it never fails to perform.

  12. Rejive

    Excellent picture quality. All that you need to take professional quality photos.

  13. CameraGuy

    Dope lens used for music videos on the Sony A7siii

  14. JayMitch

    Amazing wide angle zoom. Possibly the best zoom in the Sony line.

  15. SashaD

    So mad i waited so long to get this lens! It comes in handy on most of my trips. I don’t have to walk a mile back anymore to get the entire subject in my frame

  16. GHOSTEASTCOAST

    awsome lens perfect for video cant imagine using any other 35mm lens

  17. solo234

    Great lens, well built, very sharp, pro photographer for 8 years

  18. BillG

    i havent used it extensively yet. There does seem to be some distortion in some of the wide angle shots. Otherwise shots are good with good color and sharp.

  19. Matty25

    Never been disappointed with a gmaster yet love the way it makes the sun look. great lens for hikers

  20. Trailhawkxj

    Greatest Sony lens I’ve bought. I used to regret not getting the 12-24gm. But this lens is flawless. Shark any f stop, or zoom level. Clarity and colors it shows is superb. This lens barely comes off the camera. Fast autofocus too. It’s changed my photography.

  21. Steven6969

    Great lens with features that you would expect from Sony G Master lenses…definitely worth every penny, but it does need to be paired with a full frame upper end camera such as my Sony Alpha A7r4 which i absolutely love.

  22. ErickN

    Bought it as an open item and it works like new! Highly recommended

  23. Mike

    Excellent lens. What else can you expect from a G product. Wish it were lighter but the laws of physics can only be defied so much.

  24. Zac1

    It is an awesome lens for sure! Would get nothing but Sony lens if I had the money. But I returned and went with Sigma. OMG I can’t tell the difference. Beside maybe the warmth of raw photos but I edit my photos so that is an easy fixt

  25. Dap94757

    Perfect lens for the recording I do, Use it a lot for vlogging.

  26. goodrevview

    good quality you can depend on any type of shot light very light

  27. Robert

    The Sony 16-36 G Master is amazingly sharp with beautiful bokeh!

  28. DonPaulo

    Overall a good lens. It is portable and produces very clear video/images. The blurriness could be more, but of course there is the option to get other lower aperture lenses like the F1.8.

  29. Eric2332

    I wasn’t so sure when purchasing this lens at first because of the price, but from all the vids I seen and to now owning this lens it’s all you will want in quality from a full frame lens. Although it’ll be a little heavy to some but not a big issue!

  30. imagenandbeyond

    Super Lens, Clear, Super Nice Picture, I love this Lens

  31. PeterO

    Very good lens for the Sony a74. Glad I brought it

  32. KimmyB

    Amazing wide angle lens, perfect for architecture and real estate photography.

  33. AndrewK

    About to be on my third one of these so I suggest getting the protection plan for as long as possible.

    I think my first one lasted a little over 2 years because my protection plan expired but the second one not nearly as long. I purchased it in April and now as of December the motor to focus it is dead on the new one too.

    Worst part is you can’t even manual focus either since it’s focus by wire, once the motor dies you have a $2300 paper weight.

    Other than that it’s a great lens lol.

  34. SushmitaP

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

  35. Grail

    Wonderful lens! Crisp photos in low light. Must have!

  36. Unknown

    Hands down the BEST LENS EVER. I was nerves at foest about spending so much money on a lens. But let le tell you . Ut was the best INVESTMENT ever.

  37. sonya6400

    One first purchases for my sony lenses collection. Super sharp lens. Sony 16-35mm f2.8 GM lens

  38. KosiE

    Best GMaster I’ve purchased besides the 35mm prime. So great, great quality glass, it never leaves my camera.

  39. Akidd

    Best overall lens for beginner photographers/ videographers. Amazing quality. Definitely pricey for beginners but you won’t need another lens.

  40. HectorP

    The best of the items that I’ve buy with bestbuy ok

  41. AndreG

    Im in the movie making for real now and i can definitely say this lens is the truth

  42. Ar1baba

    Best purchase I have made in a long time! Absolutely, amazing lens. I have the 24-70mm GMII as well but needed something for wider angles and this does the job

  43. Vishnu83

    Great lens!!! Wonderful quality photos and easy to use! Lightweight and easy to store and carry in the backcountry!

  44. Falco

    The Sony 16- 35 2.8 GM Lens is stellar and finding it as an open box in excellent condition was a rather huge savings.

  45. MatheusFerreira

    A very nice lens that help me produce content to youtube, and other social media

  46. JesusT

    Is amazing lens… the best wide lenses for the Sony A7

  47. SN2200

    Only owned this briefly so far, but from what I have tested so far it lives up to the expectations for a G Master series lens. AF has been quick, and precise. No focus hunting to speak of. I have yet to push limits, but so far no vignetting with 2 filters attached in a test at F4. This is a heavier lens when compared to what it replaced (Tamron 20mm), but the added weight is not burdensome. Overall it is a excellent quality lens that provides a good focal length range for wide scenary imaging

  48. GaneshC

    Wide angle lenses good taking pictures in a short distance. I enjoyed using this lens BDay parties.
    Update u

  49. Scoob

    Great lense definitely worth the cost as it will be in my go bag for many years.

  50. Woody

    Incredible lens and definitely a must have lens for your bag. Build quality can be felt when you handle this thing. Price is expensive but you pay for the glass you get, remember that.
