The original Sony 16-35mm f/2.8 GM was a great lens, so we were surprised when a second version was released so soon. The Sony 16-35mm f/2.8 GM II is smaller, lighter, and has the latest features we expect from current GM lenses, but how does it perform optically? We took it to Margaret Falls in British Columbia to see what Sony's latest is capable of.
