The updated Sony 16-35 GM brings welcomed upgrades. Size, weight, aperture ring, photo quality and added features.
The size and weight are reduced making it more attractive for travel and video. It takes up less space in your bag and less weight making it a preferred choice for those that use this less a lot.
The aperture ring is great if you are used to the other Sony lenses with it. Send more natural for those that have taken photos on a more manual camera.
Photo quality overall is improved over version 1 and you will see the improvement in the corners and overall sharpness.
One great feature is you can get closer to focus on your subject as close to 8.7 inches vs 11 on version 1.
The Sony 16-35 II is a great upgrade if you use for video and need a lighter/smaller lens or you use the lens a lot and want to benefit from the smaller size and weight. Increased image quality is a bonus since the 16-35 already had good image quality.

From the manufacturer
Breathtaking G Master resolution
High spatial resolution results in detailed rendering right out to the image edges throughout the 16-35 mm zoom range. Five aspherical elements include three XA (extreme aspherical) elements, and aberration is effectively controlled for an outstanding blend of high resolution and gorgeous bokeh.
Extraordinary resolution and bokeh
Smooth, beautiful bokeh is made possible by a large F2.8 maximum aperture, innovative optical design, and an advanced 11-blade aperture unit. The FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM II also offers outstanding close-up performance with a minimum focusing distance of 0.73 ft (0.22 m) throughout the zoom range.
Refined for outstanding movie imagery
Reduced focus breathing, focus shift, and axis shift when zooming contribute to smooth movie imagery, while XD (extreme dynamic) Linear Motors and an advanced aperture unit reduce noise and vibration. A center of gravity that changes very little contributes to agile, stable maneuverability.
Smooth, precise, quiet, and lightning fast AF
The FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM II uses a floating focus mechanism that includes four original XD Linear Motors and precise lens control for up to approx. 2x2 higher AF speed. Continuous shooting at up to 30 fps is possible with Sony’s α1 camera.

I had 16-35 gm1 I got for $1500 it was a day until I had return left and the gm2 announce so I returned it and waited $2500 for gm2 after taxes. sure it’s smaller but was it worth the $1k upgrade for the use I use it for YouTube content creation? Not really. If you are on a budget and don’t care about the size stick with the gm1 it’s cheaper and to me provides the same great quality videos.
If you do vlogs outside for longer than 10+ minutes then maybe could be worth it since it’s lighter but not reallly.
