As it turns out, the IQ is severely affected. The sides (not just corners) are extremely soft. The estimate came back at $800 Canadian which works out to about $600 USD. This lens is my work horse ...

Yes I definitely plan to get a second hand one. Lot of people are selling them brand new as they got them as a kit and never even gave it a try!

Wow...these look amazing!! I don't see any softness in the corners even wide open. Either you have the best copy of this lens or something's wrong with the reviewers. Thanks for sharing. You sold me!

Oh I know it's not bad for the money. My concern was that it can't handle all that resolution of the R series cameras. I have noticed that it was never sold as a kit lens for the R series. I am ...

Thanks but you have it on A7III. I was looking for A7RIII samples.

Amazing!!

They did mention that for a repair of that magnitude it is subsidized by Sony. That is why I had to take it to this place as it is the only authorized repair ctr in the city for Sony lens. It will ...

I need an inexpensive worry free lens. How bad is the kit lens on A7RIII. Does anyone have samples? Is the issue that it won't be able to resolve all that resolution? I guess I can use it in APS-C ...

The repair center here in Toronto said that the repair for any lens will not exceed 1/3 of the price of a brand new one. So the maximum cost for the 16-35 GM they said would be $900 CDN which ...

Yeah $650 USD is about $900 Canadian so that makes sense. Mine focuses fine, just the image quality was bad at the corners and the zoom ring got stiffer. So hopefully it won't be the full $900. So ...

That's nice to hear! I thought that my lens was not affected in terms of IQ but I was wrong! The center is fine but the edges are all soft. I just took it into service today and they said that the ...

As long as the soft edges are fixable, I'd be happy to pay double that amount.

I thought the L bracket was secured to the plate but it wasn't. As a result my A7Riii + 16-35 GM took a fall from top of the tripod. Luckily it was against a wall so I scrambled to catch it using ...

Thanks I had no idea that lens exists!  10mm on FF?? Wow wonder what that looks like!! But here in Canada that lens new is about $400 cheaper then a good second hand Sony 12-24 taking into ...

My intention is NOT to carry both around at once. 16-35 GM is the lens I use for work daily. When I do personal shooting I also would like to have an UWA. On 2 occasions I forgot to put the 16-35 ...

I also have the 16-35 GM. It is my absolute work horse and I would never part with it. However for my personal use I wouldn't mind having something a tiny bit wider. Sigma 14-24 is a good option. ...

Looking to add a 12-24mm lens for full frame. Is there a less expensive option then the Sony version without resorting to an adapter?  I know there is Sony 16-35 F4 but I would rather have a zoom ...

How about being able to fit in your pocket so that you can have it with you most of the time?
