Sony SEL1635GM 16-35mm f/2.8-22 Zoom Camera Lens, Black

Love this lens. Great price for a used unit. Highly recommend

First impressions of this lens are really good. I've done some test shots comparing against two other lenses in the focal range. Comparing against the Sony 28mm with 16mm conversion lens and with the Zeiss FE 35mm F2.8 lens (my favorite) Attached are a couple of test shots – nothing too special, I'm not DxOMark – check out their review when they get to it. Pros: - Solid Build – the high quality you'd expect from a GM lens. - Surprisingly light – I have this mounted on an a7rii and it doesn't make the camera too front heavy. - Has an 82mm filter thread – When you're getting down to 16mm it gets increasingly hard to find lenses that don't have a bulbous front element preventing a filter thread. - The Bokeh this lens produces is beautiful – not as noticeable in the lower focal ranges, as you'd expect. But 35mm gives an even smoother depth of field than my Zeiss 35mm equivalent - F2.8 at 16mm is impressive – For such a wide lens having the option to let in this much light is hard to come by. - Very little distortion – even without correction there is surprisingly little distortion on this lens. - Weather sealed! Cons: - The lens does extend when you use the wider end. Not a big deal, but it would have been nice to have that contained in the body. - It's not small, but that's expected from this. - When you use this with a filter, you will get a little bit of a vignetting from the filter – since the angle is so wide. Somewhat expected, but kind of a bummer. Even with 2 filters stacked, it's not noticeable above 20mm Not much bad to say about this lens. It's incredibly sharp and performant, while not feeling like a burden to carry around.

Great pictures! Very sharp with excellent color. It is expensive,however.

Ok.. I'm sure I'm not the only who thinks Sony Lenses are ridiculously priced. They are cost more than any other Sony E Full Frame Lenses. BUT Once you get them in your hands attached to your camera you will understand. This thing is like a piece of art. This is my 3rd Sony G Master Lenses and let me say - I AM NOT DISAPPOINTED. The build quality of this is top notch, the image quality is top notch. I bought the 70-200 GM last year, then 24-70 GM in January and now this. Just my luck the 12-24 mm reviews just came out today. I would like that lens but I don't shoot much landscape photos and I don't like the curved elements. This lens is the PERFECT travel lens. It can stop down to F2.8 on the 16mm wide end to get landscapes, architecture and you can zoom to 35mm to get portraits and even group shots. I shoot a lot of events and sometimes the 24mm isn't wide enough. This is the perfect addition to your arsenal. Image Quality is superbn and when paired with Sony Cameras you can get the most out of Sony's sensors and MP range. I love it and as ridiculously priced it is, I'm glad I got it. And you will be too.

Box of chalk..very well packed.. looked new but block of chalk inside.
