- Sony FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM – The lens comes with a heavy price tag of $2200. But when you look at the features then you may feel its price worthy since the first noticeable feature is constant F2.8 Aperture and the other most important feature is twin ‘Direct Drive Super Sonic Wave’ motors: piezoelectric drive elements that enables high speed and precise AF.
The 16-35mm F2.8 GM will be available September at a price of $2200.

The lens features fixed F4 aperture and perfect companion for Sony A7R series camera due to its high resolving power.

Now if Sony can produce a long Telephoto, they will have a true lens trinity for it’s full frame e-mount cameras. I notice that these lens have no internal OSS so are designed for use on second generation a7 and the new a9 cameras. I also notice that they cost more than
most people would be willing to spend on a specialist lens – I use a Tokina 16-28 F2.8 on a 1dx, which I break out, on average, once a month. But, I’m sure there are Sony users who would find these lens useful.
