That was a really brilliant review and just wonderful to watch. I love the amount of visuals to specs and I think it's the best review out there for this lens. For me any way... 🥇

[@Schroeder3000]

omg the model ❤❤❤

[@m4rcin847]

A little plasticky but otherwise, yea, beautifull girl.

[@todoinSwiss]

Thank you for sharing such a detailed review of the lens. I really appreciate how you demonstrated the autofocus while zooming in. 👍. Do you have experience and recommendations for choosing between this lens and the Sony 14mm prime for travel and nature videography ?

[@fusiongingerragegaming]

I want this lens! Portrait and landscape - I have a 70-200 and 200-600 GM. Id rather get this than the nifty 50. more versatile. Thanks for the review.

[@AshBashSneakers]

For both fodo and video.. I look forward to hearing that on every Lens review

[@juliatrotti]

Bahaha

[@aceitunova]

I love your videos and your photos! ❤

[@YavorDonchev]

Is there a difference with the 35mm 1.4GM at 35mm? Thanks!

[@Moneymoney16]

up

[@geebes2112]

Do you think it’s that significant of an upgrade over the v1? I am tempted based on weight and size alone.

[@erickolson6529]

In my opinion, this GM was the one that needed an update the LEAST. Older version is still fantastic. I’ll be upgrading based on weight alone.

[@juliatrotti]

To be honest, I haven't used the mark 1 in a looong time, so I would need to use it again and side by side to really see the difference. I think the biggest upgrades we're getting there though are physical, so the extra buttons/aperture ring and weight!

[@themrgumbatron]

Amazing review!! what would you say are the key differences between Mark I and Mark II besides the price? considering a both options.

[@BBenoist]

Hi Julia, I just finished watching your video from 2 years ago regarding the Samyang 35mm. Speaking of image quality only, do you think there is a significant difference between this lens and the Samyang when using a Sony A7iii?

[@edventures9884]

The 16mm portrait was so funny 😂

[@mickl2793]

Is this worth the upgrade from the previous model ? 😮

[@kefkapalazzo1]

Might be my next purchase. Those wide angles can be so dynamic for fashion

[@juliatrotti]

I looove wide angles for fashion!

Wish they made it internal zooming, since when extended its just like

[@juliatrotti]

Yeah internal zoom would have been perfect!

[@DavidWood2]

FE PZ 16-35mm F4 G is an internal zoom design, but this comes at the cost of a lot of distortion at the wide end. With electronic corrections, this distortion is corrected (you can only see how bad it is by viewing a RAW file with no profile corrections - corrections are forced on for in-camera JPEG/HEIC/video). It is, however, no surprise that Sony chose a more conventional external zoom design for FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM II.

[@GiulioLavenuta]

You just read my mind! I was searching a video for this last night 😂

[@cuttingexplorechannel1450]

Same😊

[@TheBourbonWrench]

I’ve been in the market for this lens and they just so happened to drop the II while I’ve been looking. This is the first video that actually showed me the lens for what it is versus click bait BS because Sony sent them the lens. It’s been ridiculous. I just want to know about the dang lens.

[@LansonView]

Hey Julia,what gimble you use in 11:30?

[@juliatrotti]

Hey, it's the DJI RS 3 Mini Gimbal

[@oamyway975]

How much does this lense cost ?

[@garycheung331]

Are Sony 16-35 gm ii less focus breathing for video?

[@Penta_Penguin_237]

Just watch the video at the end they make the specific test.

[@BCreativeMediaWW]

How are you recording your OSD?

[@DavidWood2]

Use a recording device on the HDMI port. You can select in the menus whether the HDMI output is a clean output or has all the overlays of the back screen.

[@rick9176]

first!🤣

[@Pedro-jp9wc]

I prefer 85mm and beyond for portraits, I found everything below that range a little lack of character.

[@specialized41]

Really bad lens for Portraits, everything wider than 24mm are not for Portraits. This is a very old story.

[@juliatrotti]

Honestly, you can use any focal length for portraits, but it does depend how close up you want to shoot. I don't like getting headshots on wider lenses for example, but it's great for everything else.
