New Sony 12-24mm and 16-35mm lens reviewed by Alin Popescu “amazing performers”

Alin Popescu tested both new wide angle lenses and posted many image samples and comparisons on his website:

16-35mm test:

The lens is straightforward to use, with excellent handling and smooth zoom and focus ring movement. They’ve said the drive by wire was improved and I must agree.
The lens is an amazing performer starting wide open. And very resistant to flare and resolves all scenes with minimum Chromatic Aberration.

12-24mm test:

Serious resistance to flare and minimum aberrations with superb contrast. I have found it even better compared to the G Master when it come to Chromatic Aberration handling.
Sharpness wise, this lens is a performer. It’s very sharp corner to corner, ignoring the normal distortions for a 12mm.
