Although only an incremental upgrade over the original Vario-Sonnar T* 16-35mm F2.8 ZA SSM lens, this second edition optic proves to be very impressive. Build quality and general operation are first class, as is the speed and accuracy of the internal autofocus motor.
I have used lower end Sony lenses and moving to the SSM II series was a huge leap. So much quieter when focusing. I have photographed events where I think I have distracted people with my older lenses. I haven't noticed any short comings of this lens so far.
Shot this lens with my new A77ii at Antelope Canyon and I love the IQ. Very solid build, which is what I expect from Zeiss. This will become my standard landscape lens. Next is the 24-70mm!
Bought this TV 3 months ago and its just great ...should have bought it sooner
This is a great lens, don't get me wrong but when you compare this to the competition, namely Sigma Art, lenses, there is not much to chose from considering the price difference. But apart from that, its the bees knees
It's bright and secure accurate!
I use this lens for epic landscapes, group portraits and specialty photos. Need to capture an entire family shot in a small spot? This lens handles it no sweat, although I use it for all types of portraits because of its quality.
Sony have ask me to tell you how I feel about my Sony 16-35mm F2.8 ZA (SAL1635Z). Not exactly a difficult task it has to be said. Without a shadow of a doubt this is the best lens I have ever owned. Its capabilities and performance allow me to use this lens with total confidence.
This lens is all you'll ever need to cover your wide angle shots. Whether it be landscape, architecture, interiors this lens takes everything in its stride and never fails to deliver those quality images expected by any Zeiss product.
This is an excellent lens that has excellent contrast and sharpness throughout it's usable range. It is so good that it has replaces three of my fixed focal length primes. Yes it is quite heavy and the adaptor required for use on my A7R makes it even bigger but it is lighter than the three lenses it...
