Review on 📷 Sony FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM Wide-Angle Zoom Lens (SEL1635GM) - Black by Reza Cook

The Sony SEL1635GM is an excellent lens with rimless sharpness and fast autofocus, but it has its own quirks. The reverse telescopic zoom takes a bit of getting used to (the camera pops out as you turn the ring clockwise, and the field of view widens in the process; this is the opposite of a typical telephoto lens, which rotates counterclockwise first and extends zooming). This, too, is nothing more than a peculiarity that needs getting used to. The only downside is the size and weight. While this lens isn't very big and heavy compared to its competitors, it's pretty solid and paired with the a7R III it definitely stands out when you're a photographer on the go. After all, these are small concessions to such a high quality lens. Precise focus, sharpness, no chromatic aberration (a truly impressive feat), this lens is probably the only wide-angle lens a travel photographer needs. The added bonus of an 82mm thread for polarizing or ND filters is a welcome perk for shots that photo editing software just can't reproduce. Buy with confidence (but stick to "sold on Revain.com" considering Sony doesn't seal their boxes and you never know if you'll receive a defective lens or be returning one from a third party). Note: Revain does not pack. The lens is good, see the attached photo.
