What is a great lens for Sony mirrorless cameras, for gimbal work?
Here are two options worth considering. Both with a wide FOV, and are small and light.
One at the top end, one much cheaper.
-
ZEISS Batis 18mm f2.8
*£1000 ish

-
Sony 16mm f2.8 'pancake lens' 
with the Sony UWC (Ultra Wide Convertor x0.75)
*£150 ish

Here is a link to the still jpgs so you can fully see the difference -
