Does the zoom happen in the body of the lens or does it extend the lens length? Very important to know when balancing on a gimbal.
Hi, Renata! The length of the lens changes when the user moves the zoom ring. ~Ralph

Does the REAR element (the one closest to the camera sensor) move during zooming and/or focusing?
The closest piece of glass to the sensor does not move during either function. There is an element behind that one that does move during zooming.

Is it worthy to buy in 2021 for landscape and street photography? I'm considering between this and 35mm GM. Thanks !
I think the versatility of the 16-35 GM makes it a great option for a one lens wide angle choice. Although my favorite has become the 70-200 GM for landscapes it could be a unique creative contender for street.

How well does the mount's rubber gasket adhere to the camera body? I've read that some copies have a rather thin gasket that makes little to no contact with the camera.
I didn't have such problem.

any distortion at 35mm?
any distortion at 35mm?
Hi Aj, the FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM Lens will have a moderate pincushion distortion at 35mm but this can be easily fixed in using post processing software.

I am a pet photographer and am switching from Nikon to Sony (a9ii). For non-action shots, using OFC in a studio for the portraits, should I get the f2.8 or f4 in this lens?
The f2.8 will allow a much shallower depth of field. There will be times when you'll want to emphasize your subject by blurring the background. The f2.8 is better equipped to create that effect. You might even consider a lens with an even wider aperture such as an f1.4 or 1.8 for an even shallower depth of field.
