This article is a continuation of the\u00a0Sony 16-35 f\/2.8 G Master and Sony 12-24 f\/4 G<\/strong> lens review. Here is part 1<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As I was telling you in the first part we had our hands on these two lenses on a press trip on Lago Maggiore, Italy. We had plenty of Sony A9’s<\/a>, A7R II<\/a>‘s and both these lenses on our disposal.<\/p>\n

I’ve focused a little more on the Sony 16-35 f\/2.8 G Master<\/strong> than needed so I took less time to check this “little bijoux”! Well, not that little, but compared to the 2.8 it’s smaller and lighter, at 565 grams, being close to my Vario-Tessar 16-35.<\/p>\n

Compared to the Sony 16-35 f\/2.8 G Master, the new 12-24 F4 G lens looks small<\/p><\/div>\n

The downside of 12-24 zooms is the included petal shaped hood, fixed on the lens itself and the impossibility of adding filters (at least not threaded ones).<\/p>\n

I almost forgot what 12mm looked like on a full-frame camera, it’s been long since I sold my 12-24 Nikon lens due to not using it and needing more the versatility of the 16-35, also F4 on the Nikon systems. So I had a wow moment when I’ve first mounted it on the A7R II<\/p>\n

If you keep the lens parallel to the ground the verticals in the final image won’t be tilted nor distorted due to very good elements used on this lens.<\/p>\n
