Jason, love your videos but man its flippin' super annoying when you post test photos and post just the aperture and not include the ISO and shutter and possibly if its SOOC or not. A 1.4 is super awesome but im trying to get an idea of its performance through you but not getting all the basic info. please include it. again, love your videos !
If I'm shooting wide on video my go-to lens is the **SIGMA 24-35mm f2 ART** lens... truly an epic beast. Jason, you have some of the best footage from the Sony press event that I've seen on any of the channels... bravo, bruh!
Awesome to see your channel growing that fast! And I’d love to see a Sony 14mm f1.4 GM... it would be a dream if Sony would come up with a lens like that.
Man. Sony needs to come out with a small 35-40mm 1.8. 24 is cool for landscape and movies. Would be nice to have a decently fast and small travel lens (35 2.8 is to slow and I’d rather use the tamron 28-75) at a reasonable price.
exactly. 35mm f2 like the canon 35mm f2 is, great size, great light and IS. Would also like to see some good quality 24mm f2, since I love my sigma 16mm 1.4 on my aps-c. But f/1.4 on full frame is not necesarry and the lens to heavy
Even though I have little interest for a 35 f2 myself, sony is absolutely foolish not to bring one out. They'll be eaten alive by Canon and Nikon, those companies see low hanging fruit and they're all over it.
chuck90504 thats bothering me, cause I love the Sony mirrorless cameras, however the politics is really mean. They created this border where on one side you have top quality GM lenses and on the other side you have cheap garbage. I mean look at Fuji. Everyone has something for him. All glasses are top quality, just depends on the size and light. Even for APS-C you have such a variety. 23mm 1,4, 23mm f2, 35mm f 1,4, f2, 56mm f/1,2, .. Sony Zeiss 50mm 1,4 is huge and super expensive. While on canon side you have 1,2, 1,4, 1,8. I’m sure canons 1,2 is much more sharp @1,4 than the Zeiss
There is a small flare that comes out from the stars when you zoom hella in and you can see it. With the way the new glass on the 24mm, they made it have a way more smoother surface.
Hello from France Jason. Love the quality of your video. Could you do a comparison between this new sony 24mm f1.4 and 25mm f2 Batis. it'll be interesting !📷👌
Beautiful camera work! The b-roll you got in such a short amount of time is incredible, I pre-ordered almost immediately once it went up! Excited to make a first impression & review of this beast
Initial impressions, how would you say it stacks up to the Batis 25mm? I just got the Batis but now I'm thinking about returning it and ordering the GM.
Great video; those food images look 'delicious'. I wonder if Sony will bring out a FF super telephoto zoom (maybe a 200-600mm) or an aps-c tele zoom for the A6xxx series?
Please compare this to the Zeiss Batis 25mm f/2 (in terms of sharpness & edge to edge). It's the same filter size 67mm as the Zeiss 25mm f/2 Batis but slightly heavier. It's $100 more but that's still cheap for what it is.
Definitely not a lens for me.. the 1.4 is tempting but I think the 16-35 GM paired with a 20 1.4 is a great combo. Only obvious disadvantage would be size and weight.
Great video! I am surprised that this came out at rather modest (compared to other GM lenses) $1400, which is only $100 more than the Batis for some extra light. I guess Canon and Nikon entering the FF mirrorless market is putting a bit of pressure on Sony to not make their lenses super expensive, win for the consumers! Please do a comparison video between this and the Batis 25mm. Thank you!
I think they need to come out with a 35mm f1.8 G series like the 85mm f1.8, the zeiss 35mm 2.8 is overpriced and not cutting it. Needs to be something native in between that and the zeiss 1.4
Calling my guy at Samy's today! woot! woot! love it. I really hope the next lens will be a 14mm 1.4 GM and I will be so happy lol. Hope all is well JV happy for you good to see Sony giving you the Love, Respect bro :)
Would definitely like to see a GM 35mm. I mean, that Sony Zeiss is great, but would love to see what Sony could do with it. Also... Would be totally awesome to have Sony just call me up and go "Yo, come check out our new gear". Lol Great vid as always dude
Is there any hope for a wide angle zoom lens lower than 2.8? I mean, Sigma did make an 18-35 1.8 for the A-mount. Gosh how much I wish that existed for the E-Mount. And is it too much to ask for 1000 dollar price? Because +2000 for the 16-35 2.8 G Master is a budget-killer. I shoot on a 6500 for now. Definitely going to Fullframe next year, so FE lenses would be an early investment you might say, but I'm not giving up my cropped sensor any time soon!
Sony should have done a wider proposition : 20mm for example. The Sigma Art 14mm f1.8 is great and I like it, but is too bulky and still has no competition... :/
I would love to see some other lighter and cheaper option like 24mm f/1.8 or f2. Don't need that extreme bokeh @24mm. With full frame f2 would be more than enough
Kayode, yes you are right, it's actually smaller, but not much lighter (also not that small when you compare f/1.4 with f2) and most of all it isn't any cheaper.. :/
I usually dont preorder, but... I might have to make an exception for this lens. That 1.4 though!! Was hoping for something wider as well maybe in the future. Size and price seem right.
information and entertainment thoroughly mixed: thank you, Jason! I’ll stay with my 16-35mm f4 but keep my eyes open for a prime at some lower point within this range.
I’m currently really torn between buying the 16-35 2.8 GM or buying the 24 1.4 GM because I want a low light wide angle lens - fixed focal length or zoom at the cost of a few stops? It’s difficult. It’s hilariously difficult. I just don’t want to buy both because it’s expensive and no one ever compared these two lenses.
Jason, thanks for the great review! Other than the aperture ring and 1.4 vs 2.0, are there any reasons to buy this lens over the Batis 25? I mean if you can get a used Batis for $800 is the 24 worth the extra $500? It’s a serious question... is the 24 1.4 really that much better?
Go for the Batis, I really enjoy mine. The 24mm will do well in extreme low light because of the extra stops but unless you're constantly shooting 12800+ ISO, the f/2 is good enough. Plus it has decent bokeh!
Hi can you make a comparison between this lens and the sigma 16mm 1.4 apsc lens. As the crop factor on a6xxx bodies equates to 24mm also with this sigma lens. Thanks
This may sound silly but I would like to see Sony finally start making Tilt-Shift lenses if they go any wider. For now I’m stuck with the Canon with Metabones option. They would kick much ass if they can find a way to make a TS autofocus as well.
Jason, do you think the new weebill lab will work with 35mm 1.4 Zeiss lens? I am debating if I should get the 35mm f1.4 or this. I am pretty sure that weebill can handle this one but not sure about the 35mm.
Hey Jason - Fantastic video! Any word what day in October this lens will be available? Will be out of country in the later half of October and this lens looks ideal!
It’s too close to 35mm and not wide enough to be a great ultra-wide. I’m still holding out for a 16mm (or lower) 1.4 GM non-bulbous lens. I’d settle for a f/1.8 ultra-wide GM (non-bulbous).
Yeah, I might honestly still just go with the Venus Laowa 15mm f/2 to fulfill my full-frame wide-angle hunder that I've had for a while, but I've been too addicted to the 1.4 aperture of my Sigma 35mm.
I did not consider the Sigma 14mm 1.8, but only because of its bulbous lens. As much as I would love a 14mm, I’m not sure it’s possible to get a fast prime wider than 16mm without a bulbous front. Being able to attach screw-in filters is important to me as I would frequently use such a lens on my Ronin-S gimbal.
Hello friend! Excellent video! Can you please compare the shots with 'Sony a6500 with Sigma 16mm f1.4 with' and 'Sony a7III with that beast GM 24mm f1.4', please? I think they will have the same focal lenth and nearly performance... Am I wrong?
Im confused ..im kinda stuck..between the g lens 24 f 1.4 or the 35mm 1.4 zeiss. Im goin to do mainly music videos.. But my concern is fast af and sharpness. But if the g master is better ..then ill finally go with it By the way thx for ur videos u are great and inspiring lot of people!!
Pre-Order Begins Sept 21 @ 10AM ET (7AM PT) bhpho.to/2OM8sRu
would u release cooperation video 24mm vs 35mm ?
Jason, love your videos but man its flippin' super annoying when you post test photos and post just the aperture and not include the ISO and shutter and possibly if its SOOC or not. A 1.4 is super awesome but im trying to get an idea of its performance through you but not getting all the basic info. please include it. again, love your videos !
That B roll though🔥🔥🔥
Wow Jason you know you made it when Sony invite you to a special event 🤩
Indeed man! First time seeing you with all others well-known TH-camrs on a spot in a PRESS EVENT. Big congrats for that Jason!
thank you!
I need a comparison with this and the Zeiss 25mm Batis lens
LEGIT! It looks like you had a blast, man. Happy for you =)
got friends like you who keep on boosting me!! :D thank you!
"Look at the balls on this!" - Vivienne, the legend
SMH !!!
Legend has it that Jason’s personality cures depression.
I love this guy!
hahaha! love that description!!
When I'm finally content with my gear...Jason posts another video with something I don't need but end up wanting after watching. Whyyyyyyy...
sorry not sorry! my wallet is crying too 😭
If I'm shooting wide on video my go-to lens is the **SIGMA 24-35mm f2 ART** lens... truly an epic beast.
Jason, you have some of the best footage from the Sony press event that I've seen on any of the channels... bravo, bruh!
Thanks man! That means a lot!
Holy smokes I can’t believe you already have a video out on this! Way to be ahead of the game man!
gotta go fast!
Suddenly I see 6 new videos on the new lens in my subscription feed -- all within 10 minutes! Excited about this lens. Thanks for posting!
the embargo was released!!!
Awesome to see your channel growing that fast!
And I’d love to see a Sony 14mm f1.4 GM... it would be a dream if Sony would come up with a lens like that.
thanks Thiago!
Your dream came true
Dude how do you not have more subscribers? Quality on point
I'm brand new to videography and your b-roll footage is such an inspiration.
Jason please, No more lenses! My wife is going to divorce me 🤣
Tell her Camera and Lenses are Life haha
HipStar 🤣
HipStar swing her my way
Man. Sony needs to come out with a small 35-40mm 1.8. 24 is cool for landscape and movies. Would be nice to have a decently fast and small travel lens (35 2.8 is to slow and I’d rather use the tamron 28-75) at a reasonable price.

Sony Zeiss 50mm 1,4 is huge and super expensive. While on canon side you have 1,2, 1,4, 1,8. I’m sure canons 1,2 is much more sharp @1,4 than the Zeiss
Sony has excellent 28mm f2. I have it and love it. No need right now for a 35mm f2 IMHO.
Jakub S. That already exists dude: 25mm f2 Zeiss. Anazing lens :)
There is a small flare that comes out from the stars when you zoom hella in and you can see it. With the way the new glass on the 24mm, they made it have a way more smoother surface.
Hello from France Jason. Love the quality of your video. Could you do a comparison between this new sony 24mm f1.4 and 25mm f2 Batis. it'll be interesting !📷👌
Add sigma 24mm f1.4 too while at it 😄
Derrière La Caméra BATIS $1300,GM $1400,GM for sure.
yes please!
Yeah I’ll have to get this I fell in love either the 24mm length after shooting with the 24-105.
Beautiful camera work! The b-roll you got in such a short amount of time is incredible, I pre-ordered almost immediately once it went up! Excited to make a first impression & review of this beast
Just watched DPreview and saw you in the background on the bus. How did it feel meeting and seeing all great youtuber photographers Jason?
I was screaming internally 😂
Keep incorporating Vivian in your photos! She is great too. Hope to see you two at WPPI!!!
Initial impressions, how would you say it stacks up to the Batis 25mm? I just got the Batis but now I'm thinking about returning it and ordering the GM.
Find someone that holds you like how Jason holds a G master lens😏
😍😍😍
Jason! These video footage are amazing
thank you!!
Jason Vong no problem man !
almost one year later and Sigma 16 F1.4 remains "The (all around) Lens of The Year" for APSc... I´m still waiting for the Sony
How does it compaare to the Batis 25mm? Apart from the obvious one stop difference?
It's past time for that 35 1.8.
true
Had me dying at 00:50 😂
Late to the party, but just purchased this lens and patiently waiting for it to come. I'm really psyched.
not gonna lie pretty hyped that this came out before I bought the 20mm batis f/2. I think I'll make the extra leap to this.
Thanks for the great preview Jason! Such reviews make me more and more excited about the Sony a7r3, when I'll finally be able to purchase it!
Congratulations Jason! You deserve it :))
Great video; those food images look 'delicious'. I wonder if Sony will bring out a FF super telephoto zoom (maybe a 200-600mm) or an aps-c tele zoom for the A6xxx series?
Mine will be here Monday. Pretty excited.
Thanx Jason for good info and great video. How is face detection AF and Eye AF for video with this lens?
Can you please do a comparison video of this Sony GM 24mm 1.4 vs Sony FE 28mm f2 vs Zeiss 25mm f2 vs Sigma 24mm f1.4? :D
Its funny that he talks about the a7s3 launch, but there were 2 more years pass xD
Man you really made that video footage look sweet sweet sweet!
I would love to see a 16mm GM & 35mm GM! 35mm first
If Sony drop the bomb on a new Gmaster 50 1.2/1.4 that would be sick
Isn’t Zeiss 35 pretty good
F2 or 1.8 and smaller size please
I really enjoy your videos, especially the recent ones. It seems you are getting into the zone. lol. Thumbs up!
Please compare this to the Zeiss Batis 25mm f/2 (in terms of sharpness & edge to edge). It's the same filter size 67mm as the Zeiss 25mm f/2 Batis but slightly heavier. It's $100 more but that's still cheap for what it is.
I'm excited about the 24mm, but I would really prefer a 20mm 1.8 or wider aperture.
Nikon spoiled me.
Welcome to the big time brother
Definitely not a lens for me.. the 1.4 is tempting but I think the 16-35 GM paired with a 20 1.4 is a great combo. Only obvious disadvantage would be size and weight.

Please do a comparison video between this and the Batis 25mm. Thank you!
In 2021, somehow I got managed to get this Lens by looking at your TH-cam channel and IG. can't wait to go out and start shooting.
finally got mine and wow just wow
I think they need to come out with a 35mm f1.8 G series like the 85mm f1.8, the zeiss 35mm 2.8 is overpriced and not cutting it. Needs to be something native in between that and the zeiss 1.4
Calling my guy at Samy's today! woot! woot! love it. I really hope the next lens will be a 14mm 1.4 GM and I will be so happy lol. Hope all is well JV happy for you good to see Sony giving you the Love, Respect bro :)
they aint doing no 14mm.. 16mm i can see tho
thank you for making me fun, entertained....lol
Finally a light weight 1.4. Please do the same for 35, 50, 85mm.
That’s next-level grading on your B Roll. Can I ask what PP you are in.
As usual awesome stuff Vongy👍
Great video as always. Can't wait to see your review on the A7SIII. Definitely need that soon
😂😂😂
Would definitely like to see a GM 35mm. I mean, that Sony Zeiss is great, but would love to see what Sony could do with it. Also... Would be totally awesome to have Sony just call me up and go "Yo, come check out our new gear". Lol Great vid as always dude

Definitely going to Fullframe next year, so FE lenses would be an early investment you might say, but I'm not giving up my cropped sensor any time soon!
Hoping they convert that e mount!!
Sigma 16 1.4 is worth every penny.
Again one of the first here - keep it up Jason! could you please also test the rokinon 24mm 2.8 AF - it's super tiny and easy to carry around.
Sony should have done a wider proposition : 20mm for example. The Sigma Art 14mm f1.8 is great and I like it, but is too bulky and still has no competition... :/
Yes 20mm f/1.4 would be great. Perfect for gimbal work.
thats what I want next!
20 f2 or 1.8. F1.4 would make it too heavy
@@mikefromlighthousesmma1707 maybe you're right. F/1.8 wouldn't be bad either
Stick the Sigma 16 1.4 on full frame you'll get an equivalent of 20 1.6
Man that lens looks great #bucketList lol nice work Jason!
Thanks Carlos!
Congrats on 70k Jason :)
Thank you!!
First time poster long time viewer. Wanted to ask your opinion about selling my Zeiss 18mm 2.8 and picking up the 24mm. Thoughts?
I would love to see some other lighter and cheaper option like 24mm f/1.8 or f2. Don't need that extreme bokeh @24mm. With full frame f2 would be more than enough
Jakub S. then get the Batis 25mm F2. May even be sharper than this lens
Kayode, yes you are right, it's actually smaller, but not much lighter (also not that small when you compare f/1.4 with f2) and most of all it isn't any cheaper.. :/
baits 18mm or this new 24mm ?? if you had to make a choice
Great video and thanks for the review Jason. How does the 24mm 1.4 GM compare to the 16-35 2.8 GM for video?
extra buttery! but loving the versatility of the 16-35mm!
Hi. Please make a video for comparison between sigma and sony 24 f1.4
Amazing Video, amazing lens and amazing videographer 😍
I usually dont preorder, but... I might have to make an exception for this lens. That 1.4 though!! Was hoping for something wider as well maybe in the future. Size and price seem right.
Jason, Tamron 28-75 or Sony 24mm GM which one would you get between these lenses for traveling and wedding portraits
Two different lenses. I would use both. If not, something wider than the 24mm to pair with the tammy
That lens brings tears to my eyes
Is this lens going to be great for Portraits as well? Thank you.
information and entertainment thoroughly mixed: thank you, Jason! I’ll stay with my 16-35mm f4 but keep my eyes open for a prime at some lower point within this range.
You mention new 85mm. What’s that? I’m going to buy the current 85. Should I wait? Thanks
I think I said the 135mm GM. That's just a rumored
I’m currently really torn between buying the 16-35 2.8 GM or buying the 24 1.4 GM because I want a low light wide angle lens - fixed focal length or zoom at the cost of a few stops? It’s difficult. It’s hilariously difficult. I just don’t want to buy both because it’s expensive and no one ever compared these two lenses.
Jason, thanks for the great review! Other than the aperture ring and 1.4 vs 2.0, are there any reasons to buy this lens over the Batis 25? I mean if you can get a used Batis for $800 is the 24 worth the extra $500? It’s a serious question... is the 24 1.4 really that much better?
Go for the Batis, I really enjoy mine. The 24mm will do well in extreme low light because of the extra stops but unless you're constantly shooting 12800+ ISO, the f/2 is good enough. Plus it has decent bokeh!
Jason Vong - Thanks Jason!!!
Hi can you make a comparison between this lens and the sigma 16mm 1.4 apsc lens. As the crop factor on a6xxx bodies equates to 24mm also with this sigma lens. Thanks
This may sound silly but I would like to see Sony finally start making Tilt-Shift lenses if they go any wider. For now I’m stuck with the Canon with Metabones option. They would kick much ass if they can find a way to make a TS autofocus as well.
Jason, do you think the new weebill lab will work with 35mm 1.4 Zeiss lens? I am debating if I should get the 35mm f1.4 or this. I am pretty sure that weebill can handle this one but not sure about the 35mm.
I will find out when I get mine, hopefully soon!
Thanks for the review Jason. Hope you enjoyed SF.
WEATHER WAS AWESOME!!
Great video! This may be my new lens! I need dreamy bokeh with silent auto-focus for video!
Hey Jason - Fantastic video! Any word what day in October this lens will be available? Will be out of country in the later half of October and this lens looks ideal!
if it's like their previously releases, it may be the end of Oct!
Doh - thanks for the heads up. I'd probably need it in hand by October 17th. Sounds like that would be unlikely!
Will get one for sure, so great 🔥
Sony 24 1.4 GM + Tamron 28-75 2.8 comes out to the same price of a new 24-70 GM. That’s a deadly combo
Nice review Jason😍👍 and also saw you were sitting beside Chris Nichols from DPREVIEW on the bus🙊
I was secretly screaming inside when that happened but I knew I had to act normal cause the camera was rolling 😆
So what about it vs. the Batis 25? I’m on the fence between either.
Very excited about it
Hi Jason great video .. please do you know this Lens work with crane zhiyun weebill lab? Thanks
Which lens should I get? Sigma Art or Sony GM or Zesis Batis....
ouch tough call! If you need absolute reliability, go Sony or Batis.
Jason Vong I already got Batis 85mm, Sony 70-200 F4. I think I should probably just get the Batis 25 F2.
It’s too close to 35mm and not wide enough to be a great ultra-wide. I’m still holding out for a 16mm (or lower) 1.4 GM non-bulbous lens. I’d settle for a f/1.8 ultra-wide GM (non-bulbous).
man, i would settle for a compact version of a 16mm even if it's just F2.0.
Yeah, I might honestly still just go with the Venus Laowa 15mm f/2 to fulfill my full-frame wide-angle hunder that I've had for a while, but I've been too addicted to the 1.4 aperture of my Sigma 35mm.
Have you considered the Sigma 14mm f/1.8?
I did not consider the Sigma 14mm 1.8, but only because of its bulbous lens. As much as I would love a 14mm, I’m not sure it’s possible to get a fast prime wider than 16mm without a bulbous front. Being able to attach screw-in filters is important to me as I would frequently use such a lens on my Ronin-S gimbal.
Oh please Sony release those.
Hey Jason, if price is not an option, but I can only get one, should I get this 24mm or 16-35mm 2.8?
Hmm tough choice. I personally would go with 16-35 for versatility
Now I get the main reason why Sony flew you in San Francisco.
Great meeting you at the BeAlpha event!
Really hoping the A7siii is launched asap,hearing mid October!
Looks like you are testing the new @PeakDesign Travel Series backpack!!!
My review on the bag is up already
Gratz man for making it to the SSS (Sony Secret Services) lol, mad props!
Hello friend! Excellent video! Can you please compare the shots with 'Sony a6500 with Sigma 16mm f1.4 with' and 'Sony a7III with that beast GM 24mm f1.4', please? I think they will have the same focal lenth and nearly performance... Am I wrong?
Definitely gonna get more bokeh from this lens since it's FF
Joo jason do you think sigma will publish a 24-70 2.8 e mount any soon?
Should I get this or 35mm f1.4 for hybrid shooting as the only prime? (The other prime is 85mm f1.4 for photos)
Im confused ..im kinda stuck..between the g lens 24 f 1.4 or the 35mm 1.4 zeiss.
Im goin to do mainly music videos..
But my concern is fast af and sharpness.
But if the g master is better ..then ill finally go with it
By the way thx for ur videos u are great and inspiring lot of people!!
Hi jason, do you recommend this lens for vlog? Will i ever using the 1.4 aperture? Or 12-24 or 16-35? I am considering, thank you.
personally I prefer the 16-35 for vlogging because A. it's wider. B. versatility!
Dang man. Thanks for the video. I love the bokeh on this lens. Wish I could afford one $$$ I’ll just keep saving up.
