Photozone just tested the lens on the Sony A700. The lens performs very well! The only weknesses are distortion and of course…the high price!

Interesting note. Yesterday they posted the Nikkor AF-S 16-35mm f/4 G review so you can compare both lenses!

Currently the Zeiss ZA Vario-Sonnar T* 16-35mm f/2.8 SSM sells for $1,899.00 on amazon (click here).

By comparison: The Nikon lens costs ,259.95

Digitalcamerarview just posted their latest Sony A850 test. If you read the pro and the cons list you will not find any surpise. The Sony A850 has an excellent resolution and dynamic range and has a not so exciting High-ISO performance.

The results of the latest DxO mark tests will cause a lot of discussions! They tested the newly announced Canon T2i and if you compare the results with the Sony A550 you will see an unexpected result: http://www.dxomark.com. The Sony A550 sensor outperforms the Canon T2i sensor!

CNET UK tested the Sony A550 and came to this short conclusion: “Sony’s made some strange design decisions, but it’s a decent dSLR overall“. read the whole review here: http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/digitalcameras/0,39030232,49304956,00.htm
