Best Sony Wide Angle Lens: Sony 16-35 f2.8 & f4 PZ/G/GM/ZA comparison

Sony 16-35mm F2.8 GM ($2200): SDP.io/16GM
Sony 16-35mm F4 ZA OSS ($1400): SDP.io/16ZA
Sony FE PZ 16-35mm f4 G ($1200): SDP.io/16PZ

Tony Northrup compares Sony's three 16-35mm zoom lenses, perfect for wide-angle landscape photography and general/travel photography. The Sony 16-35 f/2.8 GM is the standard wide-angle for professionals, but it's VERY expensive and it lacks some features like a declickable aperture ring. The oldest lens, the Zeiss 16-35 f/4, is... old.

The newest lens (brand new!) is the 16-34 f4 PZ, with power zoom. It's small, light, zooms internally, and it has a declickable aperture ring. How does it perform in our tests?
