What a great review one of the best reviews I've seen on this lens. Right after I seen your review I went out and bought it. Thank you very much and I enjoy your channel very much. Keep up the great work. 👍

Nice video Maarten. I pre ordered my 16-35 the morning it became available back in march. It should be arriving in a couple weeks. I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited about any lens in the past. Now I just have to decide if I will use it primarily on my a7iv or a7siii. My trusty Tamron 17-28 is being sold to make room for the new Sony lens.

I will get this lens if I stay in the Sony system. That decision is contingent on the soon to be release Fujifilm XH. Currently my widest FF lens is the 24-70mm Sigma for Sony, so, a "versatile, friendly, affordable" wide angle zoom lens is needed. My favorite @Maarten Heilbron videos were the one on your Viking cruse of German cities, then on to Holland. In general, the videos made while you're traveling and reviewing new gear are special. This video is a delightful addition to that genre. The demo images are stellar and the title "Viking Ambassador" would be most fitting. Thanks MH, I thoroughly enjoyed!

Man! This lens is getting almost impossible to resist! My only question is, does it guarantee beautiful compositions like you are getting?😀 Thanks for the review. Always a pleasure to watch your content.

Makes me feel like getting one. Seems like there isn’t much it can’t do. The photo and videos of the Viking were very enticing as well!

Great to see & hear another one of your great reviews. Have to chuckle though, I wouldn't consider this lens cheap nor affordable! Wish that Sony would release a PZ, f2.8 zoom lens at a reasonable price. Like a 600-700 USD range. Oh well, at least Sigma and Tamron do have f2.8 zooms, but not power zoom designed for Sony apsc bodies.😎😎

Dear Marteen although I do not own a Sony camera, watching your content is appetizing 😄 Viking cruise Makes trips to the Mediterranean sea and Turkey. Come to Cappadocia which is a visual paradise for photographers and lets make a fujifilm content together

Swanky suite you got. I took one cruise...4 days to the Bahamas in the middle of a 19 day stay in Ft. Lauderdale, Miami, and the Keys. Back then it was all Canon 5D Mark II. I got a rear corner suite with my own wide deck. What was amusing to listen to were people comparing the food to other cruises....Royal Caribbean didn't fair so well.

I already have the 20 1.8 and im torn if i should get the 16-35 to pair up with the 35-150. I probably will hate the limitless zoom ring like i do on the 16-55 kit. Has the zoom ring any dampening or does it rotate really easily?

Asking Terry to add me to the list is becoming common with the various supply issues!

Do you know if there is a way to assign zoom control to certain buttons on day an a7iii? For example maybe one of the wheels that may otherwise be used for shutter speed or Aperture, or the d pad style wheel on the back

Does the lens remember zoom position when powered down?
