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.

If you do vlogs outside for longer than 10+ minutes then maybe could be worth it since it’s lighter but not reallly.
