Samples

The following images were taken with the Sony FE 16-35mm f2.8 GM lens mounted on a 42MP Sony A7R II body unless otherwise noted. I shot many of the scenes at both ends of the 16-35mm zoom-range to make it easier to judge the angle of view of Sony’s zoom lens. Access is through the link beneath the images. Most images were shot wide open and I think the Sony’s performance at f2.8 can satisfy even the discerning eye.

The images in the first batch are RAW files developed in Lightroom 8/CRAW 11 to Adobe Color profile, built-in lens profile (without distortion compensation), CA-removal=ON, Noise Reduction=OFF, sharpening=50/0.5/36/10. I only did the occasional exposure compensation in post-processing. The second batch are large fine JPGs straight out of camera. The individual exposure details are available for each image. All of the images are available to download in their original formats for analysis at Flickr. These files are for personal evaluation only and cannot be used in another publication or website without permission. Want more samples?
