    nice review. coming from d750+24-70 F/2.8 nikon, i'd like to switch to a7m4 for video and eye detetcion with a good 24-70. I have heard that sigma dn should be better or equal to sony for photography and eye detection but sonly with its motorization should have a better autofocus and eye detetcion for video. what do you think ? I really have no idea what we need for making video (wedding, babies, dogs,...)

  • @Madskilledswedishphotograper
    @Madskilledswedishphotograper 4 роки тому

    I switched from this lens to the Tamron 17-75 (2 lenses) just for the weight for video and gimbal use. However the Sigma is sharper and better focusing then the Tamron for everything but for the time being I'm sticking with the smaller lighter Tamrons.

Tamron has new lens that are right up there with Sony's G line. Sigma has just incredible lens. I'm looking at the 24/28 to 70/75 line of lens from either company.

    I am thinking about buying this lens as my go to run-and-gun shootings, but I really need to know if it's worth the extra 400 euros compared to the well known Tamron 24-70 G2.

Both are great lenses i know that but it's also both too expensive. With tamron i take advantage the low range of 35 and also the beast range of 150 but with sigma i have something more standard with 24 to 70 where i cover the low range of 24. I want it for travelling.I have the Sony A7 II. Thank you

    I have the Nikon Z 24-70 f/2.8 and it is fabulous both in the center and edges when shot wide open or stopped down. If one is truly serious about landscapes then the premium price may well be worth it. Glad the Sigma is not available for the Z mount for the choice would have been difficult.

      lcador9 I'm in a pickle to sell my Nikon F mount to go Sony. I want to like the Z system, but I'm an enthusiast and spending $2K+ on a lens is not worth it. Now with Sony being able to get a 2.8 from $900-$1200. That's a game changer. And Nikon doesn't seem willing to open their mount eng,... Hello Sony?!

    • @coltoncyr2283
      @coltoncyr2283 4 роки тому

    • @lcador9
      @lcador9 4 роки тому

      @@coltoncyr2283 I agree. My Nikon Z7 is stuck in warranty repair in New York for very poor battery life, less than 150 shots under minimal demand. Problem is the 500mm PF, for birds, is a fabulous light weight wonder and the S-lenses are super sharp end to end for landscape. I print for galleries at 20-40 inches and the quality difference shows. I more then make my money back by paying the premium lens prices. Best of luck with you photography.

    What was the name of the Tamron you talked about? Would this Sigma/Tamron lens be good for having the camera closer in a streaming environment where I am sitting like 60-70 cm from the camera and would it still create bokeh in the background with the settings needed for me to be good in frame and still catch most of the rooms background?

    @marquism1799 Рік тому

    L mount user here, that focuses on only video. I agree, I think it's worth getting the Lumix PRO line instead. Though the image quality is superb, the manual focus capabilities is not the best. THe focus wheel is much too loose and its hard to pin point manual focus.

    I think that when compared to the tamron the question that might tip the scale is more about portability since they´re both in a similar enough price point. On the other hand when compared to the high end zooms that Sony, Leica and Panasonic offer it gets certainly more complicated to justify going for the native options. Anyway, great review as always guys. Stay safe!

  • @MeAMuse
    @MeAMuse 2 роки тому +1

    I bought this lens on Sony E-Mount about 2 months ago based on a bunch of the reviews. I would say the part that this review and most others have missed is that it zooms the wrong way. Sony lenses zoom to the right to zoom in. This you have to turn left. This may not be an issue for people that switch cameras / lenses day in and out - but for a native shooter it really interrupts your shooting workflow. I think highlighting this in future would be advisable - after all - who cares about image quality when you miss the shot because it is less usable. I honestly wish I had gone for the Tamron (assuming it zooms the right way).

    The question is whether it is sharper than the GM ... and it is at 24mm, specially stopped down. At 70mm they are comparable unless wide open where the GM is better. Stopped down, the Sigma is sharper but I would NOT say way sharper: in my chart testing, it is noticeable sharper but not by a lot.

    Wow I didn't know that Sigma make lens under a kilo! :O
    I'm joking of course :)
    this lens and the new 1.4/85 DG DN Art are probably the best (and also more compact than their competition except for the Tamron 28-75 which is after all slightly different focal range, just for this purpose - to keep it smaller & lighter) lens for e-mount in their focal range.
    I would love to see the 1.4/40mm take this redesign (and keep its quality), so far the only thing putting me off buying the 1.4/40 is its 1,270g
