The upgraded trio of f/2.8 zoom lenses is finally complete.
The classic professional photographer’s kit has for decades consisted of the holy trinity of f/2.8 zoom lenses: a 16-35mm, 24-70mm, and 70-200mm. Armed with these, a photographer can cover almost any shooting situation. When Sony first started its full-frame mirrorless camera line, it quickly made these professional zoom lenses under the G Master moniker. Unfortunately, these lenses were not able to deliver the high-grade results that many of the other brands could.
The new 16-35 is even smaller and lighter than its predecessor, but adds a much needed aperture control ring. The ghosting is prevalent when shooting towards bright light sources. Even at f/8 ghosting is pretty severe. Shading over your subject with the lens itself is a real hurdle sometimes but luckily the provided hood is quite shallow. This is a lens that can provide dramatically close shots, while really pushing the background far away. It’s a nice feature that adds to the versatility of this lens.
Transitions between areas of focus are quite smooth. This lens leads the viewers eye to areas of sharp focus in a pleasing way.Let me start by saying this might be one of the sharpest and most consistent wide-angle lenses I’ve ever tested. Pictures taken at f/2.8 delivered excellent detail regardless of what focal length I happened to be zoomed to. Stopping down to f/5.6 resulted in only the most minor improvements to the images.
