Great travel lens. Bought it to take to my Italy trip. Needed something small, light weight with wide angle to capture the great scenery. Expensive but compared to other lenses with the similar focal length, it's the best choice. Great quality. Pictures comes out sharp.

Perfect walkaround lens. Great for landscape and for street photography. Super sharp corner to corner thought the focal length. This lens is targeted for video but love this for photography. Very lightweight and perfectly balanced on my Sony A9 camera.

Fantastic lens. Perfect size with a lot of versatility. Was just what I needed for landscape. Decent for portraits too but not enough bokeh to justify.

This lens is a great value for the price. The EZ is the best and most natural feeling electric zoom I’ve used. I haven’t used any other lens in this focal range, but I ended up going for this one because F4 wasn’t an issue for me. Try watching youtube reviews on some comparisons to get a better idea on the performance of this lens. I would highly recommend this lens for anyone who doesn’t need anything with a lower aperture!

Hi MrDuendi,
Sony commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority.
At 12.5oz, the SELP1635 would really be one of the lightest full-frame lens. An ultralight compact G lens with fast, precise, and quiet AF and tracking capabilities.
Thanks for this feedback.

Low contrast and huge flares.

Convenient light power zoom lens, but.....
The contrast is not good.
Huge distracting flares.
Lens hood is no help in reducing flares. If the sun is above, the contrast will decrease and you will see flares all over. Make sure the sun is always behind.
The lens is usable, considering that I got it at OpenBox price. it has some limitations, but can be manageable if the light source is behind.
The attached screenshot shows reduced contrast when the light source is above. The image was taken at 11 am at F4 24mm.

I love it! Before buying this, I purchased the GMII version, double the price and heavier, and I was looking for something lighter with quality, and this lens delivered. The F4 could be an issue for many people, but quality speaking, is very similar to the GMII IMO. Good luck!

Really the perfect lens for everything. It’s small and light weight so putting it on a gimbal is a breeze. Also the power zoom is the most useful feature. No barrel zoom that throws off the weight when using a gimbal. Highly recommend for everyday use and especially for video productions.

Did my research and watched multiple videos but, after having the Lens in hand i realized how good it really was. While yes its a F4 it can still with stand most scenarios because at least for me I shoot mostly in the day. The low light isn’t bad but it can always be better. If your looking for a high quality lens that is compact both in size and prize, I would highly recommend this one.

The Sony 16-35mm PZ lens is an ultra sharp, lightweight lens, perfect for video as well as still photography. It has an impressive array of features. It pairs well with my Tamron 28-200mm lens on my Sony a7iv. Highly recommended!
