  • Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM SEL1635GM

    10 out of 10 points and recommended
    Totally manual, no electronics to fail. Wide angle perspective gives very much needed apparent DOF at high magnification. Excellent on m4/3 and good on FF.
    Would have liked to to also cover x2.

    I have used mine almost daily, for above 1:1, for about 2 years. I can take hand-held daylight shots in some situations, in bright sunlight but I prefer to use TTL, off-camera RC flash (2 units, occasionally 3). I never use a tripod.

    I previously used various legacy macro lenses, enlarger lenses or supplementary diopters. All gave good results but not the depth effect, and many of them required long extensions.
