Jason Vong takes the new Sony 24-70mm G Master II for a spin! The updated lens has huge improvements in many areas such as being much lighter, having a speed boost in autofocus, and a much closer minimum focusing distance compared to the first version that was released nearly 6 years ago! While it’s hard to convey how much of a weight difference is between this and the original version in video, the difference can be felt! Especially those who own any variations of a 24-70mm f/2.8 in the past! Jason believes the 2nd version will be a joy to use for those who are seeking a lightweight versatile lens but avoided the other 24-70s that are in the market.

[@JasonVong]

EARLY FOLKS! LFG!!! 👊 had such a blast putting this together! Hope I was able to make a lot of the "dry" info digest-able! Seriously, stoked for the new 2470GMII! Now.. who wants to buy my GM1? 😂 BH Pre-Order Link: bhpho.to/3kk8mlQ

Hello @JasonVong im getting an a7s3 for vlogging and will be going to s.korea will be vlogging, taking pictures, take picture of narrow areas of korea, and landscape which lens should I go for, sony FE 16-35mm gm or the new 24-70 II gm lens?

[@omkarmundhe7094]

24-70 F2.8 GM ii what is Lens Filter Thread size ??

[@gtrlover3983]

Perfect timing getting ready to get one!!

[@itsjohnzamora]

This makes me excited because it means I might finally be able to afford the original 24-70 😅

[@harryvuemedia5106]

you're better off getting the Sigma Art 24-70mm. Just as great as the GM at a cheaper price

[@MonicaHolly143]

Sigma is way better lol

Love this video, the format, the laugh, the natural way you talk to the camera ! The explanations & comparison. Got my OG 24-70 GM in february for 1K2$ so I will stick to it for now. Great to see aperture rings coming to zoom lenses !

[@deanjones2525]

I agree. I was tired and sleepy, so I didn't think I could watch all of it, but he was so entertaining as well as engaging and the video presentation was so well done, I watched it all the way through. Great job.👏 👏 👏

[@jakilahmoulien9070]

Your color grading and studio lighting is so spot on. Very pleasing skin tones with a balanced contrast level💥

[@modernmusicstudio303]

So fun to watch someone who is genuiely happy! Great video, keep it up!

[@narpt]

By far the fastest I've ever smashed the subscribe button to a channel. Pre ordered my GM ii the minute the pre order went live and damn glad I did after watching this review. Best review BY FAR that I've seen. Some anime episodes don't even keep me this entertained, this was like a Demon Slayer finale for me. Great review!

[@51Drones]

Dude. The production quality of this video is next level! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@plymouth359]

I’m pleased they improved the minimum focus distance . I will be upgrading from Tamron 28-75 Mk 1 and I find the semi macro ability very useful at weddings

[@robnew7481]

Always love watching your videos! You make it fun and able for a old man to watch and learn! lol

[@theotterspotters]

Love your lense review videos! I always come to your page to see if you have a review before I buy a lense.

[@tobyntoby]

Definitely selling my ver.1 and upgrading to this because of the massive weight reduction, much shorter minimum focusing distance, and the new motor! Now I'm having my fingers crossed for the 90mm macro to be the next in line for such a treatment.

[@connerdudfield2431]

have been looking at the 24-70 so been looking forward to this video

Finally got my hands on one after watching this review so many times...this is as good as the legend says. 🔥

Might as well move to NYC at this point bro! Great video. The shots are 🔥

thanks for helping out!! all the shots came out dope!!

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

This lens could be the answer for my a7siii gimbal cam for sure! Great review Jason!

[@GunslingerMediaCo]

I JUST SOLD MY 24-70 GM YESTERDAY!!! I wanted to get something lighter, thinking of the 24-105 but was hesitant. This is IT. Also about that aperture iris pull, put a 5 stop ND, put auto iso on, and you can lower the aperture and the iso will compensate.

[@JasonVong]

WOW you got rid of it JUST IN TIME! (poor guy or gal who got your old one though 🙈)

[@yuidfbse]

Indeed an amazing lens and massive improvement over the original, that happens to be was the first of all GMs. That said and looking back, 35 years ago Minolta was already making A M A Z I N G 24-80mm AF Zooms with optical quality rivaling today's. Sony has Minolta's DNA allover and buying them, absorbing their technology and bringing along their technicians was one of Sony's best business decisions of all of its history. Sony's imaging department today would be nothing without Minolta. From AF, to Live view, Mirrorless, Its all thanks to Minolta.. they had it all then, just no idea how to sell it. Sony knows how to sell.

[@harryvuemedia5106]

GM 24-70 V.2 is so badazz!!! Light, sharp, fast and aperture ring now! Worth skipping over the Version 1 so im definitely picking this Version 2 up. Thanks for the review Jason!

hell yeah brothaaaaaaa

[@carandmel]

You just sold me this lens, as you did with the 24-105 f4 G when it came out. Thank you Jason.

[@ConceptNewEra]

Been looking to upgrade my Tamron 28-75 so seeing this is huge! It seems awesome and your insight on it is definitely helpful! Loved your intro, made me chuckle quite a bit HAHA. 💯✔️🔥

[@DarrinRigo]

Yo - did you end up upgrading? How did it go? Looking at doing the same thing.

[@vitalvisualz]

Just lucked up today and bought one at a crazy unbelievable price at $700 plus a trade for a old iPhone 🎊 🎉 patience is of a virtue

[@tuan056585]

All I hope for this new zoom lens is having a power zoom feature, so that I can control the zoom distance on the gimbal switch (T/W). I saw Sony have it on APS-C like the 24-105 F4 but not too many for the FF. But thank Mr. Vong, your video is great. Like.

[@MLPics]

This is freaking amazing!!!! Can you do a comparison video of the Tamron, Sigma and the new Sony GM please!

[@capturedbyfabian]

Woot Woot 🙌

[@Momo-ld9mj]

I love your reviews and I always prefer your opinion first so keep going champ🔥. But I have a question, how does it compare to the new Sigma 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN Art Mark 2?

[@TofferKim]

SOLD! I'm gonna buy it! Thanks Jason!!

[@pedrol.5417]

Very good video. Which one do you think is more versatile the 24-70GMII or the 24-105 F4 for all day around, travelling etc… Thanks so much

[@vernlew]

Excellent review Jason!...keep up the great work!

[@SeanAlcos]

Thanks for the sneak peak! Love your videos! Have you tried mounting this onto your A7C? I am curious how better balanced and comfortable it feels. Putting on the GMI on the A7C felt awkward.

[@JasonVong]

because of the grip size on the a7c, it will still be slightly unbalanced - but not as bad as the V1

[@stevenwaldstein2249]

Congratulations. Yours was the first video, post announcement I found on YT. Great job. Also curious to how it compares to the excellent Nikkor Z 24-70/2.8 S. I had the version one of the GM but since I knew this was coming I sold it and have been working with the Nikon in the interim. Now I can move back to the Sony once I can get my hands on one.

I'm assuming from the way you're running to the camera on the auto focus test, that one time you fell from running indoors with socks on😂 Great review!

[@GuamPhotography]

Thanks for the video!

[@Andrew-pz8jx]

Do you use / recommend UV filters to protect your lenses? I have a Tiffon one and at night, the nightlight’s flare reflects into my shots… wondering if you have a specific brand u recommend?

[@richardterrell5309]

Nice, Nice explanation too!

[@jennifercall9014]

After a while using my new GM II, I noted that most of the reviews comment on the zoom ring “smooth or tight” switch plays a big role in varying the lense with my camera mounted to my capture clip. In tight, the barrel stays tight and does not extend. I feel that is the main point of the switch.

[@videodragan]

which monitor are you using on your camera

[@hiawrj]

Bangin video. Sooooo high quality content that you put out.

[@SergioCruzEvents]

I have the Sigma 24-70 and would like to see a comparison to that lens please.

[@otheremail123]

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

[@AndazVlogs]

Would this be good upgrade from my 1st Gen Tamron 28-75mm. I liked Tamron for minimum focus distance and weight, now this has similar qualities.

[@jctv-sq4qd]

I'm hoping the gm 1 will be cheaper because I've heard its a really good lens and should be good with my a7ii

[@hallease]

The intro jokes are EVERYTHING lolol #dead

[@SilvaGoof]

Hey so i have this lens and i was wondering what your tips are on making this lens look more like a cinema camera specifically with a bigger focus roll off, thank you!

[@brandonmcmullen1553]

Great video! It’s a little thing of course (but little details on lenses are why we come to these YT channels) - I see that the lens hood is still a petal design, rather than the flat cylinder/round shape that we received with the 70-200 gmII and other newer GM releases. I’m guessing it’s because of the 24mm end? I like both design choices.

[@charismaticrell4206]

Your in the big apple 🍎 nice! New York City! Hope you’re enjoying the city 😃

[@wvanderspek]

Jason although this video is a little bit older, but what lens cover did you use in the shots? It looks like a soft cover for the GM2 Lens...

[@Lucamitm]

Is the v2 similar physically to the 16-35gm ? Does it feel lighter than this one ? On the 16-35gm the front heavy aspect bothers me a ton. Thanks

[@ludogael]

I come from an APS-C and I am upgrading to 7 IV :) I had the tamron 20-70 2.8 for apsc. Is this good alternativ or overshoot? I am amateur photo & videographer but still do payed stuff for some people :) LOve your videos

[@OnlySachin]

I am Waiting For 16-35 !! 🙌

[@MartySteinberg]

But how will the new lens work on the older bodies like A7Riii? Do you need the latest body to benefit?

[@stewartcotton9954]

[@williamharding1319]

@jasonvong I picked up a 24-70 gm II at Sony in Singapore (candy shop!) after seeing this video and absolutely love it. It's all I use on my EDC (A7 IV). Unfortunately, I lost the hood. I had it in store position while walking and didn't hear it fall off. The thing is impossible to find. Do you know where I can pick one up. It's on back order everywhere. PS I tried a universal screw on hood from amazon but it vignettes below 30mm.... Thanks!

[@twistedjiji]

I have an older Canon 24-70L II on a Metabones adapter. I'm curious if it's better to sell the Canon and save up for the GM. 🤔

wondering if it's worth getting a Sony 24-70mm GM ii for a Sony A6400. I use a Sigma 18-50mm, f2.8 apsc lens on the A6400 now. Curious if the 24-70mm would significantly improve image quality over the 18-50mm. Has anyone done a comparison between the two lens on the A6400?

[@serotina_canec]

[@BLUEPRINT_v2]

Will this lens do excellent with sonya6400 ...I'm mostly using it for videos . Thank you

[@pizzomedia7261]

I have the 16-35gm, but thinking about swapping for the 24-70. Do you have both? What do you use more for video? I like the 16-35, great for walk around street stuff with occasional zoom out to talk to camera. Seems like overkill to have both. Without the 24-70 seems like a big gap. Any thoughts?

[@Ndpmnyc]

I have the same doubt, no idea which one to get. I want mostly to travel and take videos and photos but I want to get one of the two.

Hey Jason, What's the phone mount you're using in this video? Looks like 2 pieces...
