## Description

Sony SEL1635Z E Mount Full Frame Vario T-Star 16-35 mm F4.0 Zeiss Lens - Black.

Review: Excellent Lens for Landscapes and Video work - I currently collection of FE lenses for my A7R MK2 inlcudes: SEL2870 FE 28-70mm My General Use Lens, lightish and great quality for the price SEL24240 F3.5-6.3 My travel use lens, very heavy great quality for the price Sony SEL55F18Z.AE 55mm f/1.8 ZA Not just the best portrait lens for Sony FE its also the best portrait lens I've used on any platform SEL1635Z 16-35mm F/4 Read below: Summary: Great lens in most regards, 8/10 only knock 2 for the high price, it would have been nice to have additional custom buttons on body and would like an F2.8. The details if your interested: My primary use for this lens is video work (broadcasting webinars and telepresence video from large rooms) but I also use it for landscape photography near the rivers and coastline where I live. In both cases I tend to you the 16-35 mm lens due to the amazing wide angle capability and brilliant sharp quality this lens has to offer. I had used the wide angle on my SEL24240 for this work in the past but I find this lens offers superior clarity at the widest angles. I expected this lens to suffer from some vignetting given its v wide however I'm glad to report that even at 16mm if performs very well.. The F/4 is great for video work in darker indoor locations when streaming video (lecture halls, conference rooms etc). This is a large heavy lens for my camera body ( advertised as 518g) but the build quality is excellent and I'm sure the lens will outlive this camera.Both of the dials for aperture and focus are smooth which makes fine changes easy to control. I would thoroughly recommend this lens especially for landscape photography and video work. I also purchased Lee and Hanna filters for this lens and all work great with this combo.
Review: You NEED this in your arsenal. - This lens is ground braking. It's incredible for videos with superb,quiet, quick autofocus. Photos are sharp and the lens at full frame, 16mm is so wide, like, its ridiculous. Obviously this lens comes with a price tag, but, its SO worth it. well built aswell.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great lens for the Sony A7 series
*by M***S on 1 February 2015*

Using this on a Sony A7R and the results are excellent. There is a little softness on edges, but nothing of note. Distortion and vignetting are well controlled, haven't noticed any chromatic aberation. Zoom and focus rings are very well damped, firm with no lens creep. The construction quality is excellent, it really does feel like a nice solid and well built piece of equipment. As this is currently the only choice for a Sony wide angle lens for the full frame A7 series, I was hoping the lens would be up to the task, and it is. I have attached a quick image of inside a local pre-Doomsday Book church, St Huberts at Idsworth, taken at 16mm for you to judge for yourself. Have to knock a star off the review as it is rather pricey. Amazon's delivery was terrific as usual, ordered late afternoon, arrived at 10am following day.
