Sony - FE 12-24mm F4 G Wide-angle Zoom Lens (SEL1224G)

This is an outstanding lens for 99.9% of photographers who want a UWA for Sony mirrorless. However, the distortion is significant. This distortion is hugely reduced by the lens profiles available in Adobe products. Almost everyone will love this lens. However, if youre doing high-end or high-volume work shooting interiors, the distortion of the Canon TSEs or 11-24mm is half or less that of the Sony. The Sony has less CA than the Canon 11-24, but a lot more ghosting from bright points of light.

I like this more than the 16-35 f2.8 Sony GM for couple reasons: 1. Smaller + Lighter = more convenient 2. They overlap at 16-24mm, so the real comparison is do you want 12-15mm vs 25-35. 12-15mm is really useful, and there are plenty of great alternatives at the 25-35 focal length, and most people already have a 35mm prime shooting faster than f2.8 Couple things that arent so great: 1. No filter = dangerous for scratching lens 2. f4 is not as open as f2.8 -- but how much bokeh would you be getting at 16mm anyways? you wont be able to tell unless youre shooting point blank at something Thus if youre on the fence, I say go for the 12-24mm, and if you want the 24-35mm range, change to APSC mode that the a7rii and a7sii has and youre more than covered at those focal lengths!

Amazing lens but it flares CONSTANTLY! I shoot houses and need 12mm occasionally. Thats the only reason I purchased it. It is sharp and light but am constantly dealing with flare issues.
