In this video, we're taking a look at the Sigma 70-200mm DG DN OS lens. This lens is a monster and is definitely worth the wait!
Paired with the Leica SL2-S Reporter This lens is one of the best in the Sigma lens lineup and is perfect for any photographer looking for a high-quality telephoto lens, however this is a very capable lens for video as well.

A L-Mount review finally! Thanks Bobby.
Most welcome 🙏
Bobby - you're the best. Happy to see the channel growing fast..
Thank you. Means a lot 🙏
I LOVED your short of "campagnolo" from the other video... Thankyou for this fantastik video!!!
Thank you!
Thanks Bobby. Great to see it on the SL2-S, which is what I have. The other reviewers had Sony version, so it was useful to see how it looks with the SL2 body. I seldom need these longer focal lengths anymore, but I will probably pick this up for those time I do. Appreciate this and all your reviews!
Thanks for watching. Yes surprised not many decided to use this for the SL2 /S cameras. It’s a great focal length to have and btw it first with Leica’s 1.4x extender
Gotta be the only Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 review on a Leica. Thank You
Most welcome
Lumix S5 II X + Sigma 70-200mm 2.8 ❤❤❤
Nice combo
Same but original s5 i, and love it
The weather sealing is also amazing. I think it’s a really great deal for L-Mount users. Probably will be a Leica version of this lens.
I’m guessing there will be one for Leica as well
Just labelled it and double the price, I think Leica eventually focus on M lenses, the rest will be subcontracted
Great review Bobby! Very informative!!! Makes me want to add one to my Sony kit. What lens (and camera) are you using at 7:00mins? I love the bokeh!
Thanks for watching. In terms of vide the Nikon Z8 with the Nikkor 35mm f1.4 G lens. Photos all 70-200 f2.8 from Sigma
Love my Panasonic 70-200 2.8 on the Leica Sl2S. At the time of purchase, this was the only 70-200mm 2.8 available that I could find. This looks great, however, I'd definitely have to check what the zoom feels like at the front of the lens, when the zoom ring is usually more in the middle of the lens. How was the ergonomics for you in shooting?
Ergonomics are good. No issues with the lens in that way
Hi Bobby, I enjoyed your review as usual, it's wonderful to see Sigma's latest optic innovation. Can you share which backpack you're sporting? Really excited to see your channel thriving so quickly. Keep up the fantastic work with your content! 😊
Thank you so much. The backpack is from PGYTech. The model is OneGo Backpack
@@btonelli Thanks Bobby, it's a nice looking backpack. You look great with it.
@@antennaleo thank you 🙏
Looks great on the Leica. (I’m shallow: how it looks on the SL2 is almost as important as how it works.) Bobby also did a great review on the Leica (ahhh Sigma) 14-24 F2.8 which is also a hit. Where’d you get that cool neck strap? Thank you.
An L Mount review! Deciding between this and Panasonic’s version, leaning towards this one. Think you sold me on the Sigma!
I really liked the Lumix one but this Sigma I feel is better
Thanks for this video! I'll be getting this instead of the Panasonic 70-200 for $500 I don't see a huge difference in the Panasonic being better. You said it yourself the Sigma glass is great and I've been loving my Sigma 24-70 2.8 for the L mount so mine as well keep buying the sigmas!
Yes the Sigma I feel is overall better and less expensive. Enjoy!
Are the Function buttons compatible/useable with the SL2-S?
They are but need to set them through the Sigma control app with the device to assign functionality
Excellent review. This your review is shot on which camera & lens? The quality is superb
Thanks. Nikon Z8 and the Nikkor 35mm f1.4 G lens for most of it. Close ups done with the 105 macro in studio
@@btonelli thanks for the feedback. Love from Nigeria
@@kayodeolaosebikan7462 thanks for watching.
How is the sharpness and IQ if being compared to Vario Elmar 100-400mm F5-6.3?
I find the IQ equal to or even better than the 100-400
I picked this lens up for my A7rV and have been impressed. It's better than the first iteration of the Sony GM 70-200... Not only that but it's extremely comparable to the version 2 for 1300 usd less.
Congrats! Yes it’s a fantastic performing lens
In terms of autofocus: can you shoot a wedding with it together with the Lumix S1 and its contrast based system?
Hi. Yes you can. Contrast based systems still work well. For me you only see issues with video and perhaps objects that move sporadically around the frame. Still subjects and natural movement are fine
will this lens still have the "Leica look" or Leica colour science if compared to the Leica native SL lenses or M lenses?
It has the warmer tones that are similar to the leica colors. Panasonic has a cooler tone which is opposite
Interesting Video, the only one I have found for L Mount. Having walked around with certain Leica Optics (90-280, 280F4 APO, 280F2.8APO) the weight should not be an issue. Certainly a Lens set up for the best results. Keep well & Stay safe 👍🇬🇧
Thanks. Yes I believe I was the only one covering the L-Mount version. It’s a fantastic lens and and any sports lens from Sigma are APO lenses as well so fits in nicely with the Leica lineup
Definitely Two Lens on the shopping list for later in the Year. Watched your Video on the 500 F5.6 as well. That’s the one focal length missing in the SL Line Up. Keep Well 👍🇬🇧
Where the heck did you hide the LAV Mic? Audio sounds terrific. lol Oh yeah, the video is great too. Glad to see a good L mount review.
Hahaha thanks. Taped to my chest. Recently picked up a countryman lav and learning how to process the audio better.
@@btonellithat answers it. Definitely sounds like the Countryman. :) audio sounds great. Do you do anything with tripods? Will send you an email. One of my clients I help with marketing does awesome tripods and could be great fit for the channel.
@@SlavGuns thanks! Yeah I’m into tripods. Sure send me an email
@@btonelliwill do in a couple of hours as soon as I get back to a computer. And dang I need to get a countryman lav, it just sounds sooo good. Much better than my Sennheiser and absolutely look easier to hide.
@@btonelli appreciate when attention is paid to getting great audio and also finally a review for L-mount users, thanks for the video!
I can’t afford the Sony G master. So I was waiting on this lens. Disappointed with the weight and size, small zoom ring with the hood on. The knob to take the hood on and off. No quick release on the tripod foot. Good to hear the optics is good.
I would say try it and see. The G Master version II is a great lens but comes at a price. If the trade offs are worth the savings then look at the Sigma
Was it confirmed that the new Sigma 70-200 is compatible with Sigma 1.4x and 2.0x teleconverters for L mount?
Yes it does
Was the movie Dune 2 shot with this Sigma lens or Mir and Jupiter?
I don’t think it was filmed with this lens
@@btonelli Among the most notable vintage lenses used to film Dune: Part Two is a Helios 44, a Russian-made clone of the famed Zeiss Biotar.
Any chance to try it on a Sigma FP-L ?
Tried it but the size of the FP-L to the lens didn’t necessarily work ergonomically
OIC, Thanks for advice!
@@rchu1678 no prob.
The zoom ergonomics is peculiar. It will give an added selling point for Leica once the glass formula gets used in a Leica branded lens.
Agree. I think the Leica version will fix this
What is that neck strap you're using? Peak Design? 6:25
PGYTECH actually.
So, would you prefer the Sigma over Panasonic?
Yes currently I would. The Panasonic is really solid but I feel the new Sigma gives slightly better performance in a smaller package
@@btonelli this one is probably a dumb question. I shoot with SL2-s and Leica 24-70… the combo is the worse to autofocus compared to my Lumix G9. Now my question is, would the lens be affecting how fast it is to autofocus or it’s the body?
With the price of the 70-200 lumix you can pick up this lens and the 24-70 sigma for a deadly combo
Indeed and get better image quality
@@btonelli just a question, do you think this lens Maybe good for prosuct photo?
@@giuseppe.g product? Sure. It’s well corrected and sharp. Good color rendition
Welp looks like God handled my 70-200 issue 🤟🏽😮💨
Haha yes. Amen 🙏
I saw a comparison with the Tamron 70-180 G2. And I like Tamron better in terms of bokeh and depth of the picture, it gives depth and plasticity to the photos. The bokeh of Sigma is too crystalline like taken with an iPhone.
Interesting observation. I really like the rendering of the Sigma better
日本よりあなたのレビューを観ています。Lマウントユーザーより。
Thank you 🙏
100% Leica will have it's 'own' branded 70-200 f2.8 soon after this...lol
Prob not for a while but I’m sure in time they will
L Mount Alliance!
Indeed!
Jared polin suddenly pops up my mind
The colours from the SL2s vs SL2 are the same. I don’t get that comment
What I was saying is color science is good out of the SL2-S. Leica tends to tweak different cameras slightly. Could be due to different sensors etc., but there is a difference
They do? And judging by your comment, you consider the colour science out of the SL2s the more desirable one?. Thanks for the response. Keep up the good work!
@@ApertureViews the SL2-S is slightly closer to the original SL colors which many prefer. Thanks for watching much appreciated
So, we now know what will Leica 70-200mm F2.8 look like
Pretty much but Leica may add some different optics etc
@@btonelli sure they do, and does this lens work with extra lens ?
@@user-ms8qg2rz5s you mean teleconverter? Yes it does
@@btonelli yes, thanks
For Europeans, except UK, it would be better not to talk at that high speed,🤔
Hmm depends. When I hear Germans or Spanish speak in their native language they also speak fast.
There is an option to slow down the playback speed on the video to help.
It would be better if the zoom was closer. Reverse it with the focus.
Agree
