Review on 📷 Sony 16-35mm f/2.8 ZA Lens" - Optimized Sony 16-35mm f/2.8 ZA Camera Lens by Michael Hogate

With the 16-35mm f2.8 lens, Sony/Zeiss has introduced another high-quality lens in addition to the professional 85mm f/1.4 lens Sony SAL-85F14Z 85mm f1.4 Carl Telephoto lens Coated Zeiss Planar T for Sony Alpha DSLR 135mm f/1.8 Sony SAL-135F18Z 135mm f/1.8 Carl Zeiss Sonnar T Telephoto Lens for Sony Alpha DSLR and 24-70mm f/2 8 Sony 24-70mm f/2.8 Carl Zeiss Vario Sonnar T zoom lens for Sony Alpha Digital SLR cameras. The only alternative to this lens is the rare and coveted Minolta 17-35mm f3.5 G. I tested both lenses using the Imatest lens testing software. At f3.5, the Sony/Zeiss 16-35 at 16mm shows better corner sharpness and less chromatic aberration than the Minolta 17-35G at 17mm. The only advantage of the Minolta 17-35 lens is that it is smaller and lighter than the Sony/Zeiss 16-35 lens. An overview of the Sony/Zeiss 16-35 lens can be found on the Lemondedelaphoto website. It is written in French but can be translated via Google.
