    • This bokeh effect of the blurred background is enhanced with circular aperture blades used in this lens.

Exceptional performance in every aspect

I’ve been using the Sony FE 16–35mm F2.8 GM, and it has proven to be an exceptional ultra-wide zoom lens for both photography and video. The image quality is outstanding across the entire zoom range. It’s impressively sharp from edge to edge, even at f/2.8, with great contrast and accurate color reproduction. Whether shooting landscapes, architecture, or events, the results are consistently professional. The constant f/2.8 aperture is very useful in low-light situations and for maintaining consistent exposure while zooming during video. The lens also produces pleasing background separation for a wide-angle, especially at the wider apertures. Autofocus is fast, precise, and silent, making it reliable for both stills and video work. It works seamlessly with Sony’s tracking and eye autofocus systems. The build quality is excellent — solid, weather-sealed, and designed for professional use. Despite being a fast ultra-wide zoom, it is relatively well-balanced on the camera and comfortable for extended shooting. Overall, the FE 16–35mm F2.8 GM is a top-tier wide-angle lens that delivers exceptional performance in every aspect. Highly recommended for photographers and videographers who need versatility and uncompromised quality.

I don't think it's worth the extra money

It's good enough but it's not 65% better than its competitors as its price suggests. Sometimes I wonder about its corner sharpness. It has a good weight. The focus ring could have a better feel to it.

Great for portraits especially for low lighting.

It was not cheap in price but worth every Penney of it. I use it for selling my advertising for newspapers and magazines. I tell clients Will Rogers said I never met a man I didn't like. I say I never took a picture that you are not going to like!

Hi Bobby, Thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear that you're facing difficulties with your Sony ILCE-7SM3 and SEL1635GM, and we'd like to assist. The focus breathing issue occurs when the focal length of a lens changes slightly as you adjust the focus, resulting in a change in the field of view. While focus breathing is a characteristic of certain lenses, you can try using Manual Focus or pre-focus and then locking the focus to mitigate or minimize the focus breathing impact when using the Sony Alpha 7S III camera with the SEL1635GM lens. If you need further assistance, you can contact us using this link: https://bit.ly/2NwYLXL Mazen @ Sony Support UK
