This is not a cheap bit of kit so make sure it fits your needs.It does pair well with the FX9 camera, on the FS5 it feels way too big & heavy.Pictures are sharp, crisp and very pleasing. The servo zoom works very well with the FX9 hand grip allowing nice steady movements but no crash zooms - have to go manual for that. While using the servo the lens acts as parfocal holding focus through out the (short) zoom range. If you crash zoom in manual you can get it to drop focus momentary but it catches up and is not really noticeable, you really have to look for it. Leave the zoom speed switch on low - it doesn’t effect the hand grip speed but means you can do super slow smooth zooms using the lens control.Auto focus with the FX9 is really good - I’m finding myself ... MoreThis is not a cheap bit of kit so make sure it fits your needs.It does pair well with the FX9 camera, on the FS5 it feels way too big & heavy.Pictures are sharp, crisp and very pleasing.

If you are pulling iris, you get to T3.1 and then without any warning (there is no bump) you slide into ‘A’. This wouldn’t be a real issue except that once it hits ‘A’ the iris jumps down a stop to T4.5 (f4) ruining your nice smooth iris pull. I’m assuming this could be corrected with a firmware update but until it is I’m taking points off.

Few of the reviews here have everything right except their issues with the iris slipping into "A" or auto. That's why the lens has an iris lock switch on it.....
The reason I bought this lens over its smaller mirrorless counter part was the manual iris. The previous reviewer is correct. Having the lens slip into auto near the wide open setting of 3.1 is a major failure on Sony's part. Perhaps placing it past f22 would have been the better option. Strangely I use this mostly on my FX3. Handheld and gimbal work mostly, but in many ways it does not match up well the FX3. The FX3 a gnat compared to this elephant of a lens. The FX3 needs a positive locking E mount to work well with this lens. Having to twist this large barrel lens creates problems when working with the FX3 vs the FX9. Rods consistently get in the way. Certain Fluid heads get in the way unless you use a camera riser. I decided to give it 5 stars because even with ... MoreThe reason I bought this lens over its smaller mirrorless counter part was the manual iris. The previous reviewer is correct.

Lens Clarity, Auto Focus and build are all 5 stars.
It has great autofocus. (I use FX6) Great quality for the lens itself and footage. Almost no focus breathing problem. I like 16-35mm a lot. f2.8 is not perfect but OK for my projects. Switch full manual very easily. I can say its only downside is price.
This lens cost $5,500. I had concerns after seeing arguments on youtube that this is or isn't a cinema lens. This delayed my purchase for a long time. Then I realized that many of these youtube reviewers were only familiar with f stop lenses on DSLR rigs. This lens is Sony's 1st cinema lens designed for FX cameras. I'm pretty much the guy that this lens is targeted by Sony. First time cinema lens purchaser, already own FX9/6/3 or A7S, operates solo, wants the ability to quickly swap lens but in reality needs the zoom features. Bottom line, I bought it. I like it. It is a cinema lens, meeting cinema follow focus/zoom gearing and cinema size matt boxes sizes. It uses T-stops allowing for accurate matching between angles and cinema lens swaps. The build quality is ... MoreThis lens cost $5,500. I had concerns after seeing arguments on youtube that this is or isn't a cinema lens. This delayed my purchase for a long time.

It is a cinema lens, meeting cinema follow focus/zoom gearing and cinema size matt boxes sizes. It uses T-stops allowing for accurate matching between angles and cinema lens swaps. The build quality is excellent. This is a big lens! Big chunk of glass! I can't overstate how monterous a 114mm wide lens feels attached to a Sony DLSR body. I had to purchase a block of small rig plates just to get rails underneath this lens. If you intend to run a matt box and filters be prepared to go big as well. Be prepared to drop some additional coin if you want to look like pro-cinema shooter with rails and matt boxes and stacked filters. All of these factors likely give negative reviews from youtubers who suddenly figure out their traditional DSLR rig is too small. Now why I like it, I really don't need all that expensive rig stuff to get into cinema shooting with the FX lineup. You can fly this lens with zoom on a gimbal. You can run and gun. Don't need an entire studio or production team to step-in cinema shooting but can plug into a larger production when that time comes. The image is excellent. Zoom is smooth. Bunch of other stuff yada yada. I look forward to seeing a 24-70mm cinema soon.
