Best wide angle lens for the sony a7cr?

For a wide angle on the a7CR, I'd start with the Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM II. It covers the whole everyday wide range, and because the aperture stays at f/2.8 across the zoom, your exposure won't change as you move through it.

If you want the widest view and a brighter lens, go for the Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM. It's a prime, so you'll zoom with your feet, but it's my pick for interiors, architecture and milky-way nights.

If you want something smaller and cheaper for walking around, the Sony FE 16mm f/1.8 G gives you a fast aperture in a single focal length. It's a good first wide lens.
