Lately Sony have successively been launching improved versions of their classic journalistic lenses. In October 2021 we saw the FE 70-200 mm f/2.8 GM OSS II and in April the FE 24-70 mm f/2.8 GM II. It wasn't difficult to guess that a launch of a successor of the Sony FE 16-35 mm f/2.8 GM, shown on the market in May 2017 so not so long ago, was just a matter of time.
The launch of that successor took place near the end of August 2023 in a form of the Sony FE 16-35 mm f/2.8 GM II that is supposed to be not only physically lighter and smaller than its older version but also optically better, with an enhanced autofocus performance.
Courtesy of the Sony company that delivered us the final version of this lens even before its official launch, now we can share our impressions after its full test – enjoy!
