ePHOTOzine 9/10
The resolution is still well up to the most recent [...] Handling is superb, focusing fast and virtually silently and really the only downside to all of this is the price [...] Highly Recommended.

If you need to buy one and have the money the GMII is the way to go, if you look for an excellent performance at a good price a used GM I or the Sony PZ 16-35mm F4 G will offer you 90% of the same performances for 1500-1800 euros instead of 2700 euros
