This is a lens review of the Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 DG DN Art Lens for Sony E-Mount. I took this lens into the Real World and captured two comedy shows as well as a campaign rally with Bernie Sanders and AOC. On top of that, I compare it to the current G Master 24-70mm f2.8 from Sony that is two times the price. So which lens should you buy...find out in this video.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

There are often times I want that one-stop faster lens in low light situations. Keeping both lenses, especially at the very reasonable price of the Sigma. 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.

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'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....

    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 🙃

    @jadedpolin hello, thanks for good information. I need some opinion from you. I want to get a good camera which I’m in budget , for shooting my newborn and I have to work fast bc my baby is super alert. The thing is I don’t have a professional lighting , I use the string lights which was hanging on my windows for long time and I have small space for shooting as well.I don’t know if the sigma lens able to help shooting in this lighting condition and still give a clear crisp image or should I get the Sony 24mm 1.8? What do u think about the Sony a7iv and Sony a7iii, which one better? Is there any equipment to help for auto detect the right ISO /aperture / shutter speed? Please advise.Thanks

    i know this is a year old but in short NO the sigma is much bigger on a small body throwing off the weight ratio for anybody that finds this comment & is looking for a decent zoom on APS -C around $1000 or less look into the sony 18-55mm f2.8 , sony 18-105mm f4, tamron 18-200mm f3.5-6.3, specifically the tamron 17-70mm f2.8 VC will be the closest comparable to this lens

    For someone who is not a pro photographer and are looking for good cheap lenses, and tend to go much outside in rainy and snowy days (damn norway... ) Please inform in your reviews if the lens you are testing is weather sealed. Other then that, great work! Pretty new sub, but I love following your reviews and guides

I am thinking about going full frame, however always when I see full frame results I ask myself - what for - and keep seeing stuff in those pictures that I don't like.

    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.
