Woe, you are beta tester also?
Found where I saw this. The "extension" isn't as long as FE2470 so it's ok.
See the 2nd last pic - http://www.photographyblog.com/news/sony_16_35mm_f4_hands_on_photos/.
Edit: Pasting the pic here.
Awww...that is slightly disappointing.
I guess they designed it so to save weight and size.
The extension is so slight, they could have designed it with a longer body and made the zooming internal.

This post puzzled me for awhile and re-read it a few times.

U mean it's current size is not long and big enough? I rather they make it as compact as possible with the longest extension when zooming, because that shouldn't bother most of us as we would be using this lens for the wider end.

Where did you download the raw files from? Mind sharing?

There are 3 files there but only the last one is worth looking at.

Thanks for the link.
I found the first 2 files gave the most info about the lens as it shows off the edges and corners which are usually not too good for a lot of FF UWA.
Some hint of softness on the last 1/6 of each edge, but really slight to me, and thats 16mm on FF, so can't ask more too more, imo.
Looks like its good where sharpness is concerned for moderate distances.
Can't tell much from the distant focus shot from photo #3 as its too dark, not sure how good was the air clarity at that time too and it does not show off the corners with any thing that can be explored for detail.
Also do idea yet how much field curvature there is (if any) as there is no foreground subjects.
From these samples, looks like a good UWA option (no idea on distortion though).

too heavy to travel with, especially when one is toting a mirrorless camera :bsmilie:

Agree but when travelling it's best to bring like 24-70 much more all rounder rather then 16-35 you're stuck with wide but short zoom... anyways I tried before SAL1635/2.8 plus FE55 I was a happy traveler

bro light travel
with family cant bring those big guns lolz One A-Mount and One E-Mount or two I think is best compromise.http://www.cameraegg.org/sony-zeiss-16-35mm-f4-fe-lens-sample-images/
More samples.
Looks like the system is quite complete for most generalist shooters with the addition of this UWA zoom.
FE16-35; FE55; adapted short tele of choice, not too big a system that will probably do 90-98% of stuff most folks shoot (or for travels).
