I'd definitely get one even if its half as good as the 12-24mm G (ok may be 3/4th as good :D )

Haha..

I remember a while back when on A mount, getting the Minolta 17-35 then later the Sony 16-35 at x4 the price.
Sold the Minolta to a mate after testing them both, both concluding the Sony was only marginally better, mostly in the in the corners and better contrast, and my mate concluding the Sony wasn't worth the extra.
6 months later when I sold up, he bought the Sony, concluding he wanted the best lens, with selective memory obviously.

My conclusion is that if you have the cash, you'll buy the better lens regardless of VFM [emoji1]
 
Few have asked now.... these fit perfectly, 2x in a pack, BARGAIN... GIANT RED SO NOBODY MISSES IT AGAIN.... sold out for now, was in stock the last time I posted.

laowa FE 10-18mm lens says rumour site :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

https://www.sonyalpharumors.com/sr5-first-image-of-the-new-laowa-10-18mm-fe-zoom-lens/

And its kinda small for what it is and also take filters :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Looks too small to be FF, and wonder on FF what the distortion would be like?
Can only assume it will look more like a fisheye rather than UWA for landscapes etc.

Out of interest, anyone found a decent but cheap UWA landscape lens solution for FE? (Decent and cheap in the same sentence I know!).
Can be MF, adapted and not particularly fast

I had the Sony Zeiss 16-35mm/2.8 on a-mount. It was terrific. The Minolta you mention was s**te to put it lightly :p

Their other UWA lenses are pretty good, we'll see anyway...

How wide and what is cheap?

You must have had a bad copy of the Minolta, on the a900 if you shot at f5.6 or above, centre and corners were great, with only really resolution dropping off in the extreme corners.

I found the tests on the web, but images are long gone..
