Re: Pre-order Now! Sony FE 16-35/2.8 GM and FE 12-24/4 G | |
It woukd be very surprisung if the 16-35 wasn't better in absolute terms. After all, its a 16-35 rather than a lens starting at 12!
Whether it's the best available 16-35 and beats the competition the way this new 12-24 seems like it may is another matter; an interesting ine but not one that would affect a buying devision I would have thought (unless perhaps the f4 version turns to be as good or better at the fls you mist care about)
But assuming that the 16-35 is pretty damn good I really cant see small differences in IQ between it and the 12-24 being reasons to choose between such different lenses - the kind of images they can make are different in so many ways. The 12-24 is primarily a hyper wide in most use with a handy 24mm wide long end. The other is a much more general wide, which includes classic moderate wide lenghs like 28 and 35 with eniugh speed for environmental portraits.

This is going to make the decision hard. The 16-35 2.8 is going to have to be really stellar to beat it.
