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?
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.
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 !
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.👏 👏 👏
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
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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. 💯✔️🔥
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.
Hi Jason. I'm a wedding filmmaker. Currently I am mostly using sony 18-105 f4 for my shoots. I am thinking of an upgrade. I'm currently torn between getting the Tamron 35-150 f2-2.8 and the 24-70 gmii. Need inputs from everyone here. (:
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.
hi jason, i need some advice, so now i only have fe 55 zeis, and looking for wide lense like fe 20 g, should i buy it? or better buy 2470gm2 and sell my fe 55? thank youu
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?
Great Sony is moving to light weight lenses.. was carrying 24-105 & 24GM whole day during a holiday 2 mths ago… shoulder started to ache end of each day… finally easier to travel to other countries
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!
Funny that you didn't see a big image quality difference with the 1st version, all big UA-camrs have pointed that out. Also the 11 blades iris, you know, aka aperture blades.
ah I missed the blades! Aside from that. TBF, I did say it's GM quality already so I wasn't gonna go too hard on the IQ. The user experience and performance are much more important imo and I think more people care about that.
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
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?
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?
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.
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!
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?
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.
Why did they keep the 82mm diameter filter thread when the rest of the lens is so nice and compact? It looks like it has a step up ring on it permanently. I think it`s not the best from sturdiness point of view and looks so strange. I think this might be a weak point if it`s not packed super carefully.

24-70 F2.8 GM ii what is Lens Filter Thread size ??
Perfect timing getting ready to get one!!
This makes me excited because it means I might finally be able to afford the original 24-70 😅
you're better off getting the Sigma Art 24-70mm. Just as great as the GM at a cheaper price
Sigma is way better lol
@@harryvuemedia5106 tons of people had endless dust issues with signa. I’ll trust the GM.
@@mattc3510 we all know about the sigma dust issue. Send it back to sigma to fix the problem and you're all set.
@@mattc3510 agree
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
that’s amazing, how?
Amazing

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

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!!
Your color grading and studio lighting is so spot on. Very pleasing skin tones with a balanced contrast level💥
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
The Asian Persuasion!!!!! Great video dude as always!
BEST LENS EVER!!! Seriously. If i had only one lens this will be it

This lens could be the answer for my a7siii gimbal cam for sure! Great review Jason!
So happy this is FINALLY out…but, so disappointed it’s not an internal zoom.
"MY DREAM COME TRUE!" - says every UA-camr after any new release
The intro jokes are EVERYTHING lolol #dead
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.

Woot Woot 🙌
You're killing me dude! "You'll have a better chance pulling out with this one." :)
Def pulled out more in NYC 😂 got a lot of great shots! 😜
SOLD! I'm gonna buy it! Thanks Jason!!
Finally got my hands on one after watching this review so many times...this is as good as the legend says. 🔥
Love your lense review videos! I always come to your page to see if you have a review before I buy a lense.
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
have been looking at the 24-70 so been looking forward to this video
Dude ... I think that crying was for realz!!!! I felt that one. Lol
Don’t expose my secrets 😂😭😭😭😭
In fact, there are 4 XD (extreme dynamic) Linear Focus Motors in this lens.
Best review of this lens i found online
Infectious enthusiasm, my goodness. Very helpful and engaging. Thanks!
I love your vids. Funny and informative
I am Waiting For 16-35 !! 🙌
I have the Sigma 24-70 and would like to see a comparison to that lens please.
So ready to preorder this.
Dude! That intro alone was master-level, nice!!! haha. Had to comment… Now I’ll continue watching the actual review..
love your vibes and inside jokes lol
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Yes!
Wow this lens is a monster!
skinny monster!
@@JasonVong 😅
You just sold me this lens, as you did with the 24-105 f4 G when it came out. Thank you Jason.
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. 💯✔️🔥
Yo - did you end up upgrading? How did it go? Looking at doing the same thing.
Love the corny face shot 😂😂 the corn is real, but I love it 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Sry, I tested two of them… my Tamron 28-75 (1. gen) is more than double sharper at all focal lenghts: Center, edge and corner.
(Tested on A7 IV)
I want that camera strap.
my next lens!
Thanks for the video!

Always love watching your videos! You make it fun and able for a old man to watch and learn! lol
That aperture ring just feels right on a GM
THIS GUYYYYY!!!!
@@JasonVong 🧡
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.
Damnn Sony Give us A better Lens like Cooking 🍳 The old recipe to New one 😂🤟 It make Me go *muah 💋* Italian chef style
My dream, too. As soon as I sell my 24-70 GM 1.
Love the video and this lens is a game changer!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Man. Lighter and smaller is what I needed from these 24-70s. That price though...
Your in the big apple 🍎 nice! New York City!
Hope you’re enjoying the city 😃
But how will the new lens work on the older bodies like A7Riii? Do you need the latest body to benefit?
Hahaha I love the humor you add in your vids! Keep it up 🙌🏼
This is freaking amazing!!!! Can you do a comparison video of the Tamron, Sigma and the new Sony GM please!
Omg i just bought my 24-70 gm last 2 weeks then i saw this 😭 need to return it
Hi Jason. I'm a wedding filmmaker. Currently I am mostly using sony 18-105 f4 for my shoots. I am thinking of an upgrade. I'm currently torn between getting the Tamron 35-150 f2-2.8 and the 24-70 gmii. Need inputs from everyone here. (:
What did you end up going with and how do you like it? Any regrets?
OMG 2400€ For that price it has to be God level... GOOD.
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.

@@JasonVong you suck.
I'm currently rocking the Zeiss 24-70 f/4. It's served me well, but... it's time.
Time to retire that lens!
@@JasonVong you suck.
I'm planning to do videography, and I want to shoot for 8 continues hours for carpeting work. which lens is recommended?
hi jason, i need some advice, so now i only have fe 55 zeis, and looking for wide lense like fe 20 g, should i buy it? or better buy 2470gm2 and sell my fe 55? thank youu

Great Sony is moving to light weight lenses.. was carrying 24-105 & 24GM whole day during a holiday 2 mths ago… shoulder started to ache end of each day… finally easier to travel to other countries
which monitor are you using on your camera
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!
Hey J, hope all is well buddy. In the FX6 theres a new feature that does that Bokeh DOF pull 😳🤯🤯🤯 yes sir works on most Sony GM lenses.
Finally!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Love it
I just picked up the 16-35 GM might have to trade it in or something for the V2 when it drops 🥲
Best time to get a GM v1 lens from eBay.
Ah yes, a better chance at pulling out.. thank you for this crucial information.
Now I’m hanging out for a smaller, lighter 16-35 GM mkii but I think it will be a while away
you see less and less people carrying these type of massive cameras. mobile phones is really way beyond most of us need these days.
Nice Video! I've been waiting for the lens. Will definitely be my next. I hug you Steamdeck-Waitlists-Bro (also October to December) 🙈😂
i will just not play elden ring for another while longer...
@@JasonVong luckily you have another "hobby" 😁
@@JasonVong you suck
The Asian Persuasion Sensation strikes again!!!
SENSATION!! I'm gonna add that 😂😆
Always and forever!
@@JasonVong you suck
That neoprene lens sleeve is dope. Any idea where to grab one?
I got mine from BH! The hood part is flimsey though. Already tore when I put it on. But the other parts were fine!

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. 🤔

Nice, Nice explanation too!
I suggest you should make a video on camera that you attach with your camera
this was one of the funniest vids from you to date!!!!...too funny from beginning to end
im glad you enjoyed it! I wanna say the funny stuff was intentional but words just left my mouth and it ended up being funnier than I've imagined! 😅
This is a great video. Thank you so much for this content!
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
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?
buying it !!
I'm so mad! I bought the 24-70GM with the extended warranty 6 months ago!
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?
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.
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.
because of the grip size on the a7c, it will still be slightly unbalanced - but not as bad as the V1
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!
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...
