Colby Brown reviewed the new Sony 12-24mm lens and wrote:
For an ultra-wide angle lens, it offers both great IQ and near corner to corner sharpness. Distortion is very minimual and the sunstar is definitely a step up above the 16-35 f/4 (that I am now retiring). Lastly, astro photographers will be happy with both COMA and astigmatism, especially if they pair this lens with the a7S II that can easily handly pumping up the ISO to counter for the fact that this is an f/4 lens.

Yesterday I tried one glorious vintage lens: Carl Zeiss Jena Biotar 75mm f/1.5 (1953, M42, red “Т”), see what I have done with it.
Camera: Sony a7rII, always wide open.

Photographyblog conclusion is:
This lens is an interesting proposition for the E-mount, but is by its very nature reasonably niche. It’s large and cumbersome, but, it’s not too weighty making it ideal for handheld video shots, and arguably for somebody who really wants a wide aperture and flexible focal length choice in one package.
The handling of the Sony E PZ 18-110mm f/4 G OSS makes it an obvious choice for professional videographers who need a super high quality lens setup without the hassle of having to change lenses, but for photographers, it’s likely that other lenses will suit them better.
