I just recently moved over to the sony ecosystem and was about to buy the 70-200GM ii with the a7iv, the sales person actually suggested me this lens (it has just came out when i switched to sony) and did not regret my choice, plus save a big chunk of money, ps. I’m just a hobbyist and don’t make money via photography so this was the no brainer choice for me.

Thanks for watching, this lens is right out here with the GM. I continue to use it for photo and video and absolutely love the image quality. I have another video coming where I only used this lens for environmental portraits and video.

I appreciate your review of this lens and your honest feedback of it. Owning the Sigma 105mm f/1.4 & the Sigma 150-600mm f/5.6-6.3, I can certainly understand your gripe on the placement of the zoom ring and lens hood and its locking mechanism. Only thing I can think of is that Sigma is going with a consistent design language as the aforementioned lenses have this hood type. I agree with you that a design variation of the lens hood would be optimal; perhaps in version II. Nevertheless, it’s hard to argue the price to performance of this to the Sony 70-200 G f2.8 II. The extra $1300 Sony wants is best invested in other glass like the Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 version II. Excellent review! New subscriber!

Thanks for watching! You are totally right, I went back to when I used similar lens for canon ef and it had the same build and position of the zoom ring with the difference of lens hood being the screw on type. I’ve had time to use the sigma dg dn on Sony more and. I do enjoy it a lot. I’ll take the savings any day.

Great review! One small issue, your audio level at is -12db so very low volume.
