Excellence at a premium price
By CRP on January 27, 2018
The Sony SEL1635GM is an excellent lens, providing sharpness across the frame and fast autofocus, it is not without its quirks however. The telescopic reverse-zoom takes some getting used to (the camera extends out as you twist its ring clockwise and in doing so the field of view becomes wider; this is the opposite of a typical telephoto lens that initially twists counter-clockwise and extends to zoom in). Again, this is nothing more than a quirk to become accustom to. The only other negative is it’s si and weight. Though not terribly large or heavy relative to its peers this lens is substantial and when paired with the a7R III is most definitely noticeable when out as a travel photographer. In the end these are minor concessions in order to have such a quality lens. Precise focusing, sharp, zero chromatic aberration (a truly impressive achievement), this lens is likely the only wide-angle lens a travel photographer will need. The added bonus of an 82mm filter thread for polarizing or ND filters is a welcome benefit for those shots that photo editing software just can’t replicate. Buy with confidence (but stick with “sold by Amazon.com” given Sony doesn’t seal its boxes and you never know if you’re getting a defective lens or return from a 3rd party seller).By CRP on January 27, 2018

I've done some test shots comparing against two other lenses in the focal range.
Comparing against the Sony 28mm with 16mm conversion lens and with the Zeiss FE 35mm F2.8 lens (my favorite)
Attached are a couple of test shots – nothing too special, I'm not DxOMark – check out their review when they get to it.
Pros:
- Solid Build – the high quality you'd expect from a GM lens.
- Surprisingly light – I have this mounted on an a7rii and it doesn't make the camera too front heavy.
- Has an 82mm filter thread – When you're getting down to 16mm it gets increasingly hard to find lenses that don't have a bulbous front element preventing a filter thread.
- The Bokeh this lens produces is beautiful – not as noticeable in the lower focal ranges, as you'd expect. But 35mm gives an even smoother depth of field than my Zeiss 35mm equivalent
- F2.8 at 16mm is impressive – For such a wide lens having the option to let in this much light is hard to come by.
- Very little distortion – even without correction there is surprisingly little distortion on this lens.
- Weather sealed!
Cons:
- The lens does extend when you use the wider end. Not a big deal, but it would have been nice to have that contained in the body.
- It's not small, but that's expected from this.
- When you use this with a filter, you will get a little bit of a vignetting from the filter – since the angle is so wide. Somewhat expected, but kind of a bummer. Even with 2 filters stacked, it's not noticeable above 20mm
Not much bad to say about this lens. It's incredibly sharp and performant, while not feeling like a burden to carry around.

Amazing Lens: Buy it Now!
By Cj Rich on September 12, 2019
This lens is expensive! Once you move past that, its a terrific lens. Very sharp, Great Sony autofocus system. Quiet autofocus. Great colors that come from this lens. Very versatile wide lens. I've used it for Real estate, Landscape, and general photography. Not the best for portraits but at 35mm i suppose it can get the job done if needed. See my attached photos for examples.
