Q: 1. Does the lens front element extend when zooming from 16 to 35? I'll be using this with an As7ii and Ronan Gimbal. I would like it to remain fixed if the focal length changes.

A: Yes it doe extend. If you zoom it will affect your balance. Cheers,Chris

Q: 2. Can I screw filters to the front of lens?

A: Yes, you can. (I screw filters and I have no problem.)

Q: 3. Please, where is this lens made? Thanks-

A: Japan - I believe

Q: 4. Does the REAR element (the one closest to the camera sensor) move during zooming and/or focusing?

A: The rear element does not move when zooming or focusing.

Q: 5. What is the 35 mm equivalent focal length with the a6500? Thanks

A: 24 to 52 mm

Q: 6. I have a 72 mm circular polarizing filter and it won't screw onto this lens. It actually seems to be much too small. I thought this lens takes 72mm filters. What is going on?

A: The lens is 72mm and all my 72mm filters fit it including Polarizers. Your Polarizer must be marked incorrectly.

Q: 7. Anyone noticing the focus ring a bit hard to rotate? I think mine is a little bit to hard.

A: Mine is perfect.

Q: 8. will this work on a7RII?

A: Yes, the Sony Vario-Tessar T* FE 16-35mm f/4 Lens with UV Filter Kit is compatible with the Sony a7R II camera.

Q: 9. Will this lens work for a A6000 e-mount camera?

A: Yes, the lens is compatible but because the A6000 utilizes a smaller optical circle than the lens was designed to accommodate you are paying for more lens that you can utilize with an APS-C sensor size camera. So yes, it will work but if you plan to stick with the A6000 as opposed to a full-frame sensor camera like the A7sII, you are paying for more lens than you need. If you plan to eventually upgrade your camera then this lens is a good investment. I have the same lens and find it very sharp, and functional for general landscape shots.

Q: 10. Anyone use this lens on Sony A7R? I want to use it for astrophotography and I am wondering how the constant F4 perfoms for Astro. Thanks!

A: Hey I use this on the Sony a7 (not R). The lens in beautiful at f/4 (no real problems wide open), but yeah f/4 isn't the fastest. Plenty fast for moonlit landscapes and star trails where 30 second exposures are acceptable.For milky way photography I use one of two lenses instead: Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 and Rokinon 24mm f/1.4. Using a faster lens allows you to keep your shutter speed low enough to prevent star trailing (following the 500 rule) at ISO 1600 or 3200.At 16mm f/4, you're probably going to be shooting somewhere around 20 seconds at ISO 6400. If you are happy with the a7r at 6400, you're all set. Otherwise you might look for a faster prime. Hope that helps! Cheers!
