Sony FE PZ 16-35mm F4 G

The Sony FE PZ 16-35mm F4 G ($1,199.99) is a rarity among power zooms, a class of lens that's normally thought of as video-first. It's true the 16-35mm excels for moving pictures thanks to its wide view, quiet focus, and breathing-corrected optics, but it's also a pleasant lens to use for photography. Creators who work with mixed media will see a reason to spend more on this one versus a stills-leaning design like the Sigma 16-28mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary for $899. We still love the Sigma as a value option, but the FE PZ 16-35mm F4 G is a justifiable splurge worthy of our Editors' Choice award, even if you're more interested in photos than video.
