You can download the A7 with 16-35mm versus A6000 with 10-18mm comparison images at Jörg Haag’s website.
In contrary to what I did in the hands-on review of the FE 16-35mm F4 ZA OSS I will not give any comments or a verdict on the images and will leave that fully to the readers.
So what do you think of that comparison?

At 100% side by side in LR with 0 sharpening there is some difference. With 25 sharpening there is almost no difference. But I know, the Zeiss has better microcontrast, colors, corner performance, it feels better, it smells better, it’s bigger, it’s so much better! It even costs more, so I can sell it for more when I get bored of it. Cool!
It is not just the sharpness… the file itself is better on the A7. Better rendering of detail and tone. 25% in LR doesn’t fix that…
Ooooohhhh genius. The bigger sensor is better than the small one. Miracle!!11!!111
Especially for you I will invent a petulant foot-stomping emoticon.
thanks, I really like it. It plays back a little too fast though.
It’s the a6000 version, I wanted the A7s but it was sold out.
wow dude are you having your man period??
I bought the 10-18 to try on the A7r. Covers the frame at most FLs but is just horrible with the distortions. Sent it back after a few days. Thank you amaxan! 🙂
When hype settles down, I will be looking at Amaxxon again for any flash sales for the 16-35. 🙂
10-18 wasn’t meant for A7r….10-18 on my nex 6 is fantastic
I know but is recommended by one of Sony guys. I did try it on my NEX-5n, and the 6 (on the 7 it sucks). Not worth the bother for me.
wow a lot smaller difference than expected….how gem is A6000+sel1018 is today….very compact form, lightweight and awesome photos….
Admin, please fast forward the time, would like to see CP+ announcements
ok! 😉
Stellar performance from the A6000 but the A7 still has the edge in the daylight shots, and wins by some margin once the light starts to fade (church photos). One could argue if it has enough of an edge for the extra £££ ?
If your landscaping the 7r is 100% worth it. If shooting events is your thing go with the a6000 as the af is great.
As expected. Slightly better overall, twice as expensive, twice as heavy. I would buy it though, if only for the better starburst.
“only for the better starburst.”
So many would buy as well based on that…but not admit it.
Admin, check this out. Sony A7R Body with Grip, only $1400 at Amazon

I’ve been coming here for years and never posting a comment until now. Wow, that’s a GREAT deal! Must be an upcoming Black Friday deal. Pulled the trigger. Now all my Nikon system stuff will be on Craigslist (D800). Thanks again!!!
Thanks Jorge. This is really helpful. Only had time to compare the images from the first scene, shot at widest focal length – 10mm/16mm. Looking mainly at sharpness, they are very, very close, except at the extreme corners where the 10-18 gets quite soft especially wide open. I can’t help but wonder how the 10-18 would have performed at 11.5mm, where it is the equivalent focal length to the 16mm on the A7.
Chris, honestly, I did not have the time yet to do that comparison of 11.5 mm on the 10-18 to 16mm. That could be something for next week…. 🙂
There’s no doubt the a7+135 is going to be better. It has to be..considering the sensor difference and the price. I’m sure SOny tested this before releasing. It has to be better than the 1018. However, i wonder if the slight difference is more because of the sensor or the lens. Would be good to compare the 1018 on the a7r in APSC mode as well. it might be even closer than the 1080 on the a6k?
even an entry level camera can do amazing shot, we should know by now, getting higher end kit is just buying the the better ability to save a shot in post processsing….
So basically, you pay twice the price for an additional 5% of performance with the A7. I’ll take it due to the awesome legacy lenses, but I’m not fooling myself. APSC has gone professional. The only ones arguing it hasn’t are non-professionals.
The point to buy FF are high ISO, DR and DoF, not resolution.
He knows, he is a professional 🙂
