Olivia, nice review - you got me thinking about it! I don't vlog at all, but I do like taking landscapes and this and the GM 50mm F1.4 would be a nice combo together I think. My cameras are the A74 and the A7Siii.

I'm having a hard time picking between this and the 16-35mm GM II. Seems like a really nice lens but I also have the 24GM and 35GM already but I want wider. I like the 16-35mm with the longer focal length but such a high price in comparison. Tough decision. Thanks for the good review!

Very good question, I have similar thoughts. I have the Sony 50mm F1.4 GM as my main lens. I was thinking about the Sony 16-35mm GM ii, but that price is tough (not a professional so this is a hobby). When these two new Sony G zooms came out (16-25 and 24-50) I was thinking about what a nice kit that would make for traveling, though I am getting duplication with the 24-50 and the GM 50mm. This is still intriguing, and is newer than the 20mm F1.8 G that I was also thinking about (but as this is newer and 11 aperture blades, I may be leaning this way!
