Because Nikon is at its knees. If it goes on like this then they will be out of business. Technically, their Z Line is so far a bummer. It’s a stupid decision from Nikon also not to open their Z Mount for 3rd party lens manufacturer. Availability of lenses is key for survival. Especially when also the FTZ Adapter is giving only a lousy performance with older F Mount lenses. Stupid Nikon, I have to say.

I agree! Sigma used to be so terrible

Hello Jared I know it’s been a couple of months since you posted this video, but I got to tell you I receive my sigma 24 to 70 2.8 DN lens, I almost purchased the g master version of this lens, I saved a lot of money the Sigma lens is a great lens, I also wanted to let you know I value your reviews on products I think you are one of the most honest guys out there doing this and I don’t think you would steer people wrong take care buddy.

Although this Sigma lens is the better choice over the Sony G master because it's half the price; kudos to Sony for sharing with third-party vendors how to manufacture a lens without the need for reverse engineering. I went mirrorless about six months ago and the amount of available glass made Sony the easy choice. In addition to a couple G Master lenses, I have a couple Tamron zoom lenses and adapted Sigma 150 to 600mm and I'm amazed how good the quality is on all three of those lenses.

Love to follow your reviews @Jared, they are funny, punchy and very instructive.

@Jared Polin. Just wanted to say that I really enjoy watching your videos and am utterly grateful for this free content. I have a Sony a7III myself, but regardless of that, I am watching all your videos, even though, they are about other brands. As a hobby-photographer, I am happy for every information I can get to shoot better photos. Big THANK YOU, greetings from Germany.

Great review Mr P. Appreciate the impartiality.

Thanks a lot for this video. Really appreciate it. Just a question, do you recommend this lens to take fashion/portraits photos (without a tripod) combined with a Sony a6100? Thanks in advance and thanks for all your great videos

Love the real world reviews Jared. Besides the lens review is a great way to better understand what goes behind the scenes of a shooting. I pre-ordered this for THE LLLLLLLLLLLLLL MOUUUUNT ALLIANCE for my Panasonic s1. And honestly my question is..if you are a Panasonic shooter, in 2 years from now, would you still consider to buy "overpriced" Panasonic lenses instead of this amazing sigma glass that works perfectly fine ? Great job as always guys 🔥🔥

Thanks Jared, considering this when I’m ready for a 24-70

I like my Sigma 24mm f1.4 for my videos , it's a dreamy look I get using the f1.4

Very helpful video! Been debating on which zoom lens to get she relax with for a long time. 👌🏽

Great video! Would love to see your photos with the 135 GM!

I'd love to see a large sony lens comparison. For example: Sony 24-70 vs. Sigma 24-70 vs. Sony 24-105 vs. Tamron 28-75 (vs. Sony 28-70).

Hey, thanks for the vid! But I gotta question. Don't you think there is an issue with 3rd party lenses sometimes(I have the tamron 28-75 and I noticed it just recently) that the shutter/shutter button becomes a bit laggy when in af-c?? Basically there's a bit of a delay between pressing the shutter and taking the photograph, what often causes missing the right moment. Thanks for advice!

Great, I’ve today acquire this lents and in the first shoot this lents is fantastic, i love the color of the sigma art thanks for the review and video 👍👌

Note for anyone who shoots in harsh weather: The Sigma weather sealing is inferior compared to Sony. I’m currently in Alaska and it’s a battle using the Sigma in the rain, as moisture immediately gets in the lens. Sony on the other hand has held up great!

It's hard to trust and use the 24-70 as a workhorse when people on forums are on their second replacement lens. Perhaps they were extra unlucky but I'd rather get some value out of a new lens and upgrade to a GM.

I would love to know if there is any difference between the canon version + mc11 and the native e-mount in terms of focus accuracy

That Eye-AF blows my mind 🤯 Nice video man!

What's your feedback on the lens long term? Are you having dust issues like so many have complained about? Thanks

Jared, is the Sigma as good as the Sony for Video? I heard it doesn't focus as quick and it may be a little noisier? Thank you.

Very helpful review, It was very informative and useful for me! Thank you so much Jared!

Does the same apply to the Sigma vs Sony in the 70-200 f2.8? This is my next lens so curious if the Sony is worth the extra money in that zoom range.

Hello Jared, need your assistance: which one to buy: Sigma 24-70 f2.8 or Tamron 28-75 for Sony? In your opinion which one is preferred (sharpens, low light etc...). I'm appreciate your help.

Great review. This is why I watch your channel. Yes, there is some technical stuff about the lenses, but unlike most other channels, you test these lenses out. You give comparisons and give your personal thoughts why you like the lenses. I love black and white, it can even have digital noise and still look good. Sometimes it adds to the character of the image. Colour? Yes, bold colours on the spectrum from the purple-blue to the yellows and reds, nice to see. Especially when they are so bold. Great video as always. One thought ( don’t know if others agree). Sigma seems to work well with the Sony’s and Tamron seems to work well with Nikon.

Been waiting for an actual real review. Appreciate all your work. Thanks for your help! Definitely picking up this lens !

Thanks Jared. I bought the Sigma. Got mine from Allens Camera in their first shipment. Love the lens for my A7RIV and A9. BTW in Sony Alpha Blog testing (MTF standards) the Sigma was the only one of the three: Sigma 24-70mm, Sony 24-70mmGM and Tamron 28-75mm that could FULLY resolve the 61mp files of the A7RIV.

Both the Sony 24-105mm f4 and the Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 have better overall MTF numbers (both rated as excellent on the A7RIV) , higher than the Sony 24-70mm f2.8 GM, (rated very good on the A7RIV) really.

Thank you for the review. Can you please explain especially about buttons on those lens: the Sony and the Sigma have one on their side. What functions can user assign to those buttons? Can the sony's button switch one of the rings to the aperture?

Are the Sigma ART Zoom lenses (for Sony) mechanical or focus by wire?

Hello, i just got the sony 24-70mm GM for fathers day and today and got to play with for a few mins before needing to go to work. I thought the lens was incredibly fast with taking the pictures. Definitely gonna give my sony a7iii a run for its money. My question is, does the Sigma also perform as fast?

When using this lens in Sony camera, is the eye focus working properly. Thanks,

Thank you this was very helpful

Is the sigma 24-70 better than the tamron 28-75? I know everybody is talking about tamron being lighter and sigma having the extra 4 mm of range in the wide. I’m more curious what lense is better in term of focus, sharpness and handles better the flares and averall a better lense.

When will LR or C1 have a profile for this lens? I’m happy with it but it does suffer from quite a bit of distortion at the wider end.

Fantastic review. Really enjoyed and informed. 👌👌👌

I wonder how it fares it very low light situations. Using an A7iii, I shoot lots of corporate events where it's dim lighting for cocktail hours, and a popular thing now is casino nights. Almost as dark as night club situations. My Tamron 28-75 has trouble grabbing focus at times, and I have never tried the G Master in this setting. If the Sigma works better than the Tamron, I will definitely make the switch.

I have the Sigma 16 and 56mm f1.4. Fantastic lenses, would it make sense to swap these for the 24-70mm f2.8 Art? BTW very funny clip!

Thanks... following your recommendation as always

The autofocus Its good even in video mode? Cause I just worked with the G master and was good

Best comparisons on KZread! Even though the FroTeam takes a little longer to create reviews and comparisons, they make the videos top notch and worth waiting for! You guys are the best! #BRINGBACKRAWTALK

Am quite surprised that the Sigma is lighter than the Sony lens...a few grams but still. Usually the Sigma lens is the heavier lens than the Sony equivalent. Bravo Sigma, bravo!!!

Can you tell me if, while using the ai autofocus, do you sttill need to use back button focusing?

Great video! What about using the Sigma on the a6XXX series? Currently from that line up, only the 6500 and 6600 are stabilized. Would the Sigma work well on the a6400? I'm looking to upgrade from the a6000. I find the price of the 6600 too much, so that leaves me with either faster AF and better color science of the 6400 or the in body stabilization of the 6500.... Maybe I need to enter your give away for a serious upgrade! I shoot mostly photos (street, nature, wildlife), not video. Thanks!

Great video! Will this lens work on Sony A7C?

Probably a weird question but a min. focus distance of 18cm would be inside the lens since its normally taken from the sensor plane. Sounds like sigmal is providing the number from the front of the lens ?

Nice review, thanks. I'd consider that lens if I didn't already have a 24-70 f1.8 on my Rx100.

Your simple language and your videos are very good for beginners as well as pro photographers. LOVE FROM INDIA

I've got the EF mount version and have been really happy, although I'm sure it's a very different lens than a M/L design.

"Even tho he's this tall" the signs of good autofocus d

What are your settings on the Sony Jared!? 🙏

Is this lens for the Sony full frame mirror less camera or is the sigma lens designed for Sony apsc cameras that fits on the Sony emount system?

How does it do in low light? Would you recommend it for filming a found footage horror movie in the woods?

Jared do you have any info when whill sigma release 70-20 f2.8 e mount?

Nice review. Waiting for your review of the Sony A6600 + 16-55 f2.8

Light! Aziz!..More Light!..now that made me chuckle. :) This sure is one badabadaboom lens. Lucky enough to pick one up a month ago and it's sweet! Don't forget that when talking about the zoom range being 'just about enough for a portrait', teamed up with the A7R4 and shooting in cropped mode, you still have 26MP and an effective reach of a little over 100mm

Lmao that Danny DeVito comment cracked me up! 😆 great review as always 👍

Finally nice to see quality 3rd party glass for the E mount. Took long enough, but not helpful to those of us who went Sony years ago.

What camera and lens did you film this on ?

How does the AF performance compare with the Gmaster? I've heard different opinions.

what's the closets focus on the Sony??? you said 9" the graphic says 1.25' which is 15".....ty. PS any issues with dust, I am hearing a lot about dust in this lens. ty

Are you getting still from your video or is there an option to take photos while filming?

love the 5th element refrence! Use that sentence alot aswll, didnt know others did to :)

Just got mine for my a7iii.. I'm so happy to finally have decent glass for my camera finally...

I have always had a love hate with the 24-70. Both Nikon and Sony have for me always been ehhhhhh. But the range is super important for general photo stuff. Pretty much your example use. I have the Gmaster now is the Sigma better? Or sort of same for 1/2 price? Sigma has come on so strong especially for mirrorless.

Ok, you got me... I was on the hunt for a zoom all-rounder lens for my A7R III and 24-70 2.8 was (for me) ideal. I already have the 20mm 1.8 G lens and it is fantastic. I really don't want to swap my camera with a Nikkor 18-105 anymore. I just wanted a single main camera with two lenses. And the Sony GM was giving me the cute eyes but the price... ugh, the price... And then, this video came up in recommendations. And guess what? I have a brand new Sigma coming my way as we speak!!! Thanks dude! The next beer is on me!!!

Great review! Got a tamron 28-75mm last year and remains on my A7III... 24mm would've been a nice reach to have but still happy w/my tamron 🙃

I am in the same boat. If the Sigma is within $200 of the Sony when I go to buy one of the two in March I will go with the Sony. When the price diff is that small then I would rather get the 1st party lens. When they are $500 or more apart then I will 100% get the third party.

Loved the 5th Element reference !
