Todd Vorenkamp tested the Sony FE 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 G Master Lens at Monticello Motor Club:
The FE 100-400 is not a super-heavy lens; it is lighter than the Canon of the same focal length, but after an entire day of shooting and 8,000 images (thanks to the 20 fps performance of the a9), my arms were definitely feeling it.

Cory Rice tested the Sony FE 12-24mm f/4 G Lens in NYC:
On the streets of New York, the autofocus performed quietly and smoothly. The wide range of the lens allowed me to squeeze a considerable amount of space into the frame when shooting on cramped sidewalks. The tradeoff for this convenience was perspective distortion, especially pronounced when my model was human.

Shawn C. Steiner tested the Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM Lens in the Berry Fields:
The latest G Master lens is one of Sony’s best zooms, with practically no visible aberrations and with outstanding sharpness. That isn’t the only thing a lens needs though; it needs to feel good in the hand and be a pleasure to operate. Overall, the lens’s external design is very good. It matches up with existing GM optics, with its rubberized zoom and focus rings, as well as the physical focus hold and AF/MF switch on the side of the barrel. One thing that struck me was just how short the throw of the zoom ring is, which isn’t necessarily a problem, and probably only came up because of my experience with cinema-quality zooms.
