Hands-On With Sony's FE PZ 16-35mm F4 G - Why It Has To Be F4 (ft Sony Zeiss 16-35mm F4 ZA OSS)

A truly premium F4 ultra-wide zoom - it is one of the most refined versions of a 16-35mm F4 I have ever shot with.

You’re videos are so good. Straight to the point. Great info and demonstrations (like that Gimbal turned off while zooming, brilliant). No obnoxious persona 🙌 Thanks for the effort!

Simple yet precise review of the lens. Hmm really get me thinking of this lens.

[MollyFitzBrown]

I keep debating this over my Sony 20mm 1.8 for vlogging…

Where's the most reliable place to preorder lenses? Sony? B&H? Amazon?
Ty man ❤️

Should I support fx3 and power zoom for this lens?!? Thank you for the information video.

[thieuquang]

Many thanks for your review! Is this lens compatible to shoot vlog indoor with artificial lights as you was doing in this clip?

Nice video, but ... how does the lens perform in comparison with the Zeiss 16-35mm f4, specifically for photography? I have the Zeiss, but I am not so glad with the performance in sharpness, especially in the corners.

Did you try zooming using the DJI RS2?

I am far from Sony ecosystem (Canon fanboy), but to be a perfect lens this one lacks f/2.8 and stabilizer (especially being f/4). Sure, that would throw the price twice... Anyway, PZ is a good idea (Canon only has a separate and weak PZ device for the latest 18-135) and flexible aperture control seems the best!

Do we really need an F2.8 for group photos?

Does it reset when you switch camera off?

Hi, did you notice any focus jump/focus pulsating when you close up to the subject with autofocus on with this lens (PZ 16-35mm F4 G)?

Mine seems to have the issue when I use gimbal to go in closer to the subject's face, it seems to have that zoom pump, but it is actually the focus going error for a very fast milliseconds (or looks like focusing the back of the subject in mine), and then slowly focus back to the subject, and it is quite frequent. Or sometimes it would just make that whole scene to have the shaking stutter effect for a millisecond. For the body I'm currently using A7S3.

Attached here is an example (not my video, but a clip I manage to found online which has the same issue as mine), look at the table at the bottom area and you'll understand what I meant:


Much appreciated for your replies, thank you.

Focus breathing and weight is amazing. Sadly its kinda pricey.

[akkarparkiamopas]

Finally that expensive remote controller "zoom lens function" can be used in this lens lol

[AndrewSamootin]

Will this work on a Sony ZV-E10 ( i know it's over kill nut just ordered one on the way to the sony 7 cameras )

[BoxxyFan]

0:27 Wrong. The Zony Zeiss have always been a level above the G lines. You're confusing G with G-Master. This lens is NOT a G-Master lens.
