The Sony 16-35mm f4 Zeiss lens is definitely a favourite of mine. It’s one of my most used lenses on my Sony A7iii, and it has accompanied me on many a hike up into the mountains. A lot of my videos over on YouTube have used this lens a lot in their creation, like this one, Winter Camping in Snowdonia.

I took a Sony A7riii and the 16-35mm Zeiss up into the snowy winter mountains of Snowdonia for a couple of days. Hopefully, it’ll give you a bit of a feel for the type of shot that is achievable.

What the heck am I still doing with this old camera?

The Sony a7iii is a full-frame mirrorless camera that was released in early 2018 as a successor to the popular Sony a7 II. It was aimed at photography enthusiasts and professionals who want a versatile camera that can handle a wide range of shooting scenarios.

I still use it now, in 2023. In fact, I own two of them, they’re brilliant, and still very much available for purchase.
