[@craigradix7234]

That G spot joke had me in tears 😂

[@GrofdesignVideography]

The doorbell sound made me almost spill my coffee lol

[@MrBeastKorea]

That slow, consistent power zoom killed me! Your videos are always better than the last!

[@TaylorTeets]

That Sony 85mm 1.8 is really in need of an G update!!

[@JasonVong]

It’s pretty G already but yeah an official badge be nice.

[@argelquiane9021]

This is also what im waiting. 85mm 1.8 G.

[@argelquiane9021]

Same here. Waiting for 85mm 1.8 G.

[@TaylorTeets]

@@JasonVong nah come on it’s old. Needs new XD AF motors, aperture ring, Custom Hold button and reduced size and weigh.

[@DjimmyTrovy]

@@TaylorTeets It has a customizable button already and it's pretty lightweight and relatively small. Aperture ring would be nice though.

[@Hobbies4Hire]

Great job on the video Jason! Thanks for making it.

[@lookid]

I like your sense of humor, it's perfect ahahah!

[@stephm-cp9ot]

Honestly your review kept me more engaged and had my attention way more than some others I have seen for this lens 😅 so thank you!

[@RetroBreak]

Ahh I just bought the 20-40 Tamron, but this looks awesome too! Would be perfect for vlogging!

[@JasonVong]

that autocorrect 🤣

[@RetroBreak]

@@JasonVong OMG!!!

[@brivnii]

the snob joke sent me! haha

[@molybdnum]

I thought the top half of the Vong "fertography" (sorry Jason I can't unhear it) wombo combo was the Zeiss Batis 85 - what led you back to the Sony 1.8?

[@tomariko]

My kit is the Sony 20 mm 1.8 and the 55 1.8 g 😅 can it be included in the Jason combo ?

[@marcushedman9740]

Hi Jason, are you sure that is 2 x XD motors? What I read on Sonys website the lens has 2 X Linear motor [LN] not the 2 x [XD LM]

[@McMurdo]

The… g spot 💀 lol another great vid. Love you and appreciate you.

[@ECDPhotography]

I dropped my GM v1 off my monopod and have it out for a repair estimate. Might have to be my replacement if the cost is outrageous to fix.

[@godsinbox]

sigma 14-24 f2.8 existed for many years. rear filter kit, no need for silly screw ins. no resale value when they keep releasing cheaper and lighter. Good situation to be in, I'm talking about you RF!

[@kdtheporchpodcast5785]

I’m gonna need a longer review of this 16-25mm to the 16-35mm GM2 . I have a student discount from B&H that allows me to get the GM2 for $1950 , but still waiting for the edu price for the 16-25mm , I’m thinking it will be about $1050 . Trying to see what’s the justified price for a hobbiest that does paid gigs about 1 or 2 times every couple months . I have a Sony A7IV. Been looking for a good wide angle zoom lens .

[@Natedel00]

Same I need this comparison

[@MollyFitzBrown]

This is the lens I’ve been waiting for 🎉 I really wish it was a little lighter than my 20mm 1.8 but… the G spot 😂

[@KsaweryKarwacki]

It sounds like a great companion for my 20-70 f4 to get something wider and brighter for astro and night photography when 85 is too tight. *GAS engaded*

[@nine96six]

Thank you for your idea, How about 20f18g with 85f18

[@JasonVong]

Works too!

[@TomatoWong]

0:06 is pretty fire low key

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

Hi there were very few hot shoe hats in this video, is it possible to get more in the future please? Thank you

[@JasonVong]

The audacity of this comment!!!

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

@@JasonVong can there be more tho plz

[@at7972]

Thanks Jason for the helpful info! Would you recommend this over the Sony 16-35GM II?

[@JasonVong]

I would as long as you have another lens to help pair with this. Otherwise if you’re looking for one lens only, the 16-35 is more versatile

[@photograhy]

I am disappointed that 16-25mm isn't also PZ. I was waiting for this lens hoping its also PZ, in my line of business 2.8 is very useful (even on an ultra wide, yes)

[@shalgiva]

I own the Tamron 17-28 and am very happy with it. But a Sony 16-25mm f2.8 is hard to resist. It would fit nicely on my Sony a7cr. And the price seems fair compared to the Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM II Lens

[@TheOtherChef]

@Jason Vong, do you have a recommended 2-lens combo kit for an a6700? I do videos and photos. Thanks.

[@JasonVong]

I recommended 3 lens! Check out my video "The Only 3 Lenses You Need for Sony APS-C"

[@bokbokeh]

Vivienne has TRANSFORMED!

[@whateverplaceholder6179]

Does it make sense to get that one and use it on a APSC camera? So it is future proof when I switch to full frame at some point?

[@JasonVong]

Only if you’re getting a FF soon but the limited range on this doesn’t make sense for APSC. Better if you get the 16-55mm f/2.8 or just get the Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8

[@bdvisuals_]

That third/fourth eye lol

[@martinsegovia3016]

Hi Jason, would you recommend the Sony a7iv or the Sony a7cii???

[@JasonVong]

a7C ii

[@frankygamaliano7058]

How about distortion? It looks quite bad in other review

[@Chuakiagx3]

LOVE YOUR HUMOR STUFF LOL !! PHOTOGRAPHY EYE !!

[@GloryBrand]

I have a zve10. I really want a zoom. I know it will crop. Would you recommend?

[@pringleboat]

Dont get a zoom, get a prime, save $, your videos will look better

[@Chuakiagx3]

HELLO FROM ALASKA !!

[@USConsumerReview]

If I just got the sony 11mm aps, should I still consider this?

[@JasonVong]

If your camera is an APSC sensor, then no. Stick with the 11mm

[@tone_bone]

this seems like it would go great with my 20-70

[@SenorToneh]

While the AF is still great on this lens. It does not have XD motors. Just "highly optimized" ones. Per sonys own site specs.

[@aransamson]

I also wish this lens existed long ago, like before i bought the 20mm 1.8

[@JasonVong]

the 20mm F/1.8 is pretty epic though

[@pringleboat]

Prime lens >>>> 9 mm zoom lens any day. Should have gone with a zeiss tho

[@gnnaropanin]

you did the best choice don't worry

[@SergFlicks]

all I want is a 16-50 f4 pz but all they ever make is everything but that

[@kdtheporchpodcast5785]

I want to see a review of a sigma 14-24mm f/2.8 vs the new 16-25mm f2.8 .

[@xmanreturn]

What happened to the flashing/flickering? Pretty serious at the end of the video

[@JasonVong]

Timecode?

[@SilatShooter]

Meh... not excited about this one. I think the PZ16-35 is a better option for most people. The extra range is better for one lens carry, most people are stopping down with angle images, it's internal zoom, versus reverse zoom and it's smaller and lighter. Yes it's an f4 vs the sexier f2.8 but I think it's better in every other way.

[@edventures9884]

I can’t keep up with all these lens 😂

[@cameraprepper7938]

I am not into zoom lenses, but I am a spec nerd, this Sony 16-25mm 2.8 is 409g ($1200), so it is about the same as the Tamron 17-28mm 2.8 at 420g ($800), if you want a more light weight Lens, then there is the Sony PZ 16-35mm 4.0 at 353g ($1200). I am not into video, but if I was I would take the cheaper Tamron 17-28mm or the Sony 16-35mm with longer reach !

[@Ak47ira]

Dang it! I just committed to getting the 16-55mm 2.8 G lens for APS-C for my a6300 instead of the 24-50mm that's about to come out, and now this? Now I'm torn (again!)

[@sashinger5230]

You did nothing wrong. The 16-25 is for full frame. You got a wonderful APS-C lens! Enjoy!

[@Ak47ira]

@@sashinger5230 Haven't bought yet, just mentally committed :). But I can use FF lenses on an APS-C body, it's just 1.5x on the range (so, 36-75mm instead of 24-50). My back and forth was between "do I want the newest and hope that its faster/sharper/better, AND future proof for if I go to full frame, or do I spend the extra $300-ish to get something wider that is for APS-C and won't work as well on a FF if I go that route?"

[@sashinger5230]

@@Ak47ira Yes, you can use ff lenses on APS-C but the 16-55 (or the 17-70 from Tamron) would still be the more flexible choice while still shooting APS-C. The 16-25 is a quite limited option on both imho. On another note: If you already know you will be switching to ff then do it rather sooner than later. Doesn't make that much sense to invest and think for both imho. It really helps to commit to one of both as soon as possible and keep it like that. Been there, done that.😂

[@BlackapinoTheTechGuy]

*G lens As I've found out with my first G lens for my FX30 which is a 15mm f1.4*

[@JasonVong]

Great lens

[@FaithingIt00]

So does the 14mm f1.8 zoom at all?

[@Gabriel-it5jy]

No

[@chickenandricecrew9867]

All those sony 16-35 lenses are great but give me a small 16mm pancake like lens with f2.8 to pair up with the zv-e1 and that would be perfect. Sigma 17mm f4 is great but man wish it was a f2.8 at least.

[@JasonVong]

Which I’m still very surprised this hasn’t happened yet

[@berndkiltz]

At one point you HAVE to team up with cory wong. You have too. It will be legendary. IF you dont know him - he is a funk guitar player (Fearless Flyers, Vulfpeck)

[@wilburyuen]

Is the discord gone? I don't think I'm in it anymore.

[@XeroNera]

Really wondering if I should sell 24mm F/1.4 GM for this lens. Anyone in similar situation?

[@SPDTDL]

This needed to be internal zoom!

[@I_am_BlinkStar]

It did exist years ago... As a 16-50mm f/2.8 for the a-mount

[@JasonVong]

That’s… that’s a different lens 😂

[@TheTrailMixTV]

Why did I have to go and buy the 16-35mm F4 G :(

[@JasonVong]

I mean it’s really light! Still a great lens

[@Josev-TV]

Ahhh!!! I just bought the f4 power zoom last year. I was neither here nor there about the zoom but if I had the choice at the time, I would have picked this f2.8 instead for better low light performance.

[@brunomamede2352]

I go with Tamron. I paid $400 for my 17-28mm like new lens, thank you.

[@JasonVong]

Can’t argue with a deal

[@gaminghaha3727]

love from bangladesh bro...

[@LouisLuzuka]

😮

[@gnnaropanin]

sony merchant

[@Beast0Mode0Ultra]

Can it work with a6400🤔

[@JasonVong]

It would be better to get the APSC 16-55 f/2.8 instead.

[@ondrejkratochvil4589]

and if i'm using sigma 2.8/14-24 for the wide, than i'm what? 😁

[@JasonVong]

Beast. Crazy. But a beast.

[@BryceKoebel]

Still haven't found my G spot 😭

[@JasonVong]

Keep looking!

[@mattricci2981]

It has its called the sigma 14-24 or you could’ve gotten 16-35

[@jbmedia8882]

Get a 20 1.4 and crop. 😅

[@JustinPinedaMedia]

Think of all the fun things to do with that still at 1:18 lol

[@JasonVong]

Very J Jonah Jameson vibes

[@97nelsn]

I thought it was cake.

[@yokeshs8140]

🤩😊

[@hotcoffeeamericano]

The "asian" size.

[@DrocDoc]

I only want to carry one lens with me having my eyes on the 35-150m from tamron but damn why cant they just make a 16-200 1.8 lens for the one that can rule them all haha

[@amapro_ted]

if it was only pz!

[@JasonVong]

that's crazy talk

[@86BBUB]

Too much cutesy joking to take this channel seriously.

[@rozentals_photography28]

Pff no need for that i have 16-35 GM II that is my perfect focal range and i don't need anymore 24-70 as well trying to sell it ! And really i don't see nothing in this lens better than in 16-35 GM II just money waste and will be need again walk around with many lenses when i can use only 1 and second take 70-200 just perfect combo ! And if this lens is only little bit better than tamron then pay for it so much nooooo way !
