Sony FE 16-35mm F/2.8 GM (SEL1635GM.SYX)

I purchased this to use for video with an FX3. I was advised it was the lens I would never want to be without with that camera and it's so true. Fast accurate autofocus and superb images.

I absolutely love this lens, I bought it in 2019 and I got a few good years out of it. When functional, the image quality is crisp and the ease of use is amazing. Unfortunately I got one of their defect lenses, where the focus breaks and no longer focuses. I read that there were many lenses in this model with this exact problem so I contacted Sony to get a replacement. Unfortunately they did not help me. When spending almost 3,000$ for a lens you expect it to last you a very long time, as it's a big investment. I love Sony's products, I have been a loyal customer for 10 years, but very disappointed in their service.

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.

I love it and its perfect for what i need honestly one of the best lenses
