Sony E-Mount Zooms

[Luke Bacich]

Hey everyone,

Has anybody had any experience yet with the new 16-35 e-mount lens for video? I know the lens has focus by wire which isn't ideal but does have OSS and fairly good performance from early reviews.

Also the 70-200G. Anybody used one of these for video? You get lots of reviews for stills but rarely hear how these lenses go on the video side.

Cheers

Adam Wilt took a look at the 16-35 on the FS7 in this review:

I don't believe either of them support *active* steady shot (just standard steady shot), unfortunately for FS700 / 100 / 7 users... not an issue for A7 / aX000 users.

I have the 16-35 and 70-200, both are at the top of their respective classes relative to the competition. They're really great lenses. The only video drawback - like any AF lens - is the short focus throw.
