The fact that I almost bought the mk1 a few weeks ago but decided to hold off for a bit and now the mark 2 shows up must be a sign 😂

But the question is whether the new version is worth 1/3 more for most people. Probably not. I had the first version, it's pretty solid lens, not much improved in v2.

@@USGrant21st I mean if you own one it’s not really worth it unless you really a zoom in freak. Although as in my case that u don’t have a 24-70mm this is prefect and just need to save up more. Currently I’m rocking a 16-35mm gm and a 85mm 1.8 and I want something in the middle

Something is wrong with your old lens. Mine isn't that soft and Dustin Abott also did a comparison, where the results were way closer.

I agree! Something is off. pictures from Sigma 2470 M1 clearly lack definition here and are soft, which I find absurd because he also used a tripod. My Sony SEL2870 kit lens performs better at F8 than Sigma 2470 M1 shown here under low light :'D I previously owned Sigma 2470 M1 and tested it in the night to photograph roads and cars. at 100% zoom and lower light levels than this one (4s shutter speed) I could read the parked cars number plates without softness. P.S: I returned my initially bought Sigma 2470 M1 because it was simply expensive 2 years. Now I bought it again on discount because I simply loved it back then.

hella nah sony is way better, way more accommodating, and frankly just a better product. used a sony lens on my STARLIGHT music video, hands down insane.

great stuff as always,also love your subaru

This was the best review for this lens I've seen, and I watched many of them. 🔥

What a lens! I am gonna look for this!!

gotta say that wrx is looking awsome

In Europe and the US the mk II is even more of a no brainer since the difference is only about 100 Euros / Dollars and the gm II ist literally double the Price (here in Germany its 1190/1300 and 2400 Euros for mk1/mk2 and gm)

@USGrant21st

2 ай бұрын

Not true, in US the original lens went on sale for $900, it's $300 less than the new one.

The video that I was looking for! 🔥🎩👌🏼 10/10

Selling mine for the Mk2 before my trip this summer!

I just got the new Sigma 70-200. This is definitely on my list to get next.

USD the mk1 is $899 vs the mk2 is $1199, is the $300 difference worth it? Since I have neither lens, I’m looking into a standard zoom and the “new” price (on sale) for the mk1 is the same as the used sale most everywhere.

Sad the mark 2 doesn't have an option for canon, I get that the RF mount isn't open yet but not even EF, wish I had the money to change systems sometimes lol

I would love to see how this and the sony mk II stack up with photo and video, especially with their $1k difference

I need a lens for video. Should I get this one or the panny 24-105 F4 (lumix s5iix)?

What are the best settings for keeping focus on a moving subject? Do you use back button focus to lock on and one of the tracking settings?

How much do you reckon could be a good price to get the mark 1 second hand?

I have first version and zoom ring is total crap, its very tight and its not possible to zoom smoothly. How about zoom ring at version 2 is it tight?

YOU definitely ruined my evening 🤣 Seeing this video right after having to buy the "new" Sigma 35mm f1.4 DG DN because my A7S3 simply didn't wanted to S-AF in photo mode with my first Sigma 35mm f1.4 DG HSM, is pretty depressing! One can not simply keep up with all the upgraded gear that's coming out if videography or photography is your hobby and you're not making any money out of it. The results the MkII gives you look absolutely GORGEOUS though!!!

other YT reviewers say same optical formula between versions.

Mk2 is slightly sharper if you zoom in at 1000% who the F does that? No one unless you are doing a lense review lol

I have been waiting for this kind of amazing review, welldone 👏 I was about to buy the mark one when i heard the rumour that mark ii is come and i have waited . Now i am even more confused as to which one to go for as the mark one have reduced so much in price . I dont know whether the mark ii is worth paying more for 😂

hey in your video it seems like the mk2 is way better then the mk1 in points of image sharpness/quality, but in all the other videos I have seen about the new lens, they show example pictures, and there the difference isnt that big in point of image quality ? how that, I have no explanation for this

Please do sigma 24-70 ii vs sony 24-70 ii vs tamron 28-75 ii for a future video!

How much faster and sharper is the GM II? Its about AU$500 more than the Sigma

Got the mk1 about a month ago... I'm not crying, you're crying 😭

Yeah dude i am getting the Sigma 24-70 for Canon. Great lenses and just as epic as OEM

ouuu nice sti brotha;)

Crazy interesting results compared to other youtubers. Probably the only video showing that much of a difference in sharpness to the MkI. Picked up my MkII a few weeks ago. First full frame lens and camera

Please make a comparison with the Sony lens 24-70!!

Everyone selling their mk1s 🤣

I’d bet for no discount also

I bought the mk.1 back in February for $800, i got it from the original owner who I’m guessing didn’t use it much because it was super mint. I wish I knew about the mk.2 was around the corner I might have waited. But I’m definitely happy with the mk.1

I wish I had of seen this video a week ago before I bought the mark 1

Brooo, noo waaayy !!! This tittle is reaally righttt ! Wow

I wanna this new lens 🎉🎉🎉🎉

My photography teacher only told me real photographers use prime lens but never mentioned standard zooms and the money part which probably explains why I don't make any money from my photos. Jokes aside, thanks for the detailed reviews!

Please do Sigma 24-70mm MK2 vs Sigma 28-45mm (Image Quality comparison)

This is a bad time to be shooting Canon....I haven't seen an EF version to be adapted and they ain't opening the full frame mount for a while. Which is a shame because this is my favorite focal length to use. I love my current Sigma 24-70 EF lens. I have my EF to RF Adapter permanently on it because I use it so much.

bought the old one and the dust issue is a bummer but got it cheaper than most of my primes so I cant complaint. 350$ price for a used piece with dust issues. did diy cleaning attempt but got one screw stucked with proprietary glue. Learnt about the glue applied by manufacturers later on after some research. got to buy extractor if isopropyl doesnt work. not really complicated to do even for first timer diy guy bit anxious though.

Yo what happend with that Audi you got???

Yeahhhh members first 🫡

Try the 17-70 2.8 by tamron, then again I think it's only for APSC

Sigma masterraceeee

Never had any issue with mk1. My images are sharp as f. Sony 7r3. 14-24mm sharp as f. as well.

4:27 Me: Oh shit!, My wallet oh yes :D

The Mk. 1 for me was pretty sharp 🥲

They do make a 28-75 tamron for Sony but I guess it is different

I just order my mark 2 yesterday and i sold my mark 1 today on eBay

Just a heads up for fellow Aussies, the Mark II is only $150 cheaper than the Sony GM II. For $150 more, you can get more FPS and focus breathing compensation (for cameras that support it). Won't be worth it to majority of people but wanted to throw this out there

For some reason, my old sigma is as sharp as the mark ii lens so i was not upgrade. Btw good comparasion keep up ❤❤

i got the art lens version my gosh its sharp

Wait for upcoming 28-45mm 1.8 by sigma.

I like softer so I think I will keep my MKI. The improvements on the MKII are cool though.

@USGrant21st

2 ай бұрын

I had Sigma 28-70 at the same time I had 24-70. The former is much softer and lower in contrast, but both produce nice images with good bokeh, I wouldn't hesitate using any of them. The only reason I gave up 24-70 is because it was too heavy and no fun to use.

where is the R8?

my god.. I just bought the Mark one three months ago...

Guys, repeat after me: "I don't need another lens." "I don't need another lens." "I don't need another lens." "I don't need another lens."

Its release is greatly undermined by Tamron dropping 28-75/2.8 G2 price to $699 and Sigma themselves dropping the price of the original version to $899. The new lens retails $1199, i.e. $500 more than Tamron and $300 more than the previous version. Both Tamron and old Sigma are equally good optically as the new one, so whether the minor differences of version 2 are worth the extra money is debatable.

I have the 14-24 and the 70-200. I just cant.

I brought a new 24-70mm just 1 month ago😭

when you have a dead battery in a manual car you sit inside and let it roll in second gear which essentially push-starts it! this happened to me one time in a remote location and I was alone so I had to push my car as fast as I could then I hopped in and clutched kicked and it started! 1. Turn the ignition to ON and leave it there. At no point during this process should you turn it to START 2. Shift to 2nd gear but don't release the clutch 3. Release brakes 4. Commence rolling down an incline, OR have a friend start pushing the car 5. At about 6mph or 10km/h, drop the clutch. No accelerator is necessary 6. If it worked the engine will now be running and the car will continue along at an idle. You can safely clutch in and apply the brakes now. If the car shuddered and did not quite start, repeat the steps but reach a higher speed before dropping the clutch

Hi there something is off with the M1 pictures. Even my Sony SEL 2870 has better performance (albeit slightly) under lowlight at f8 than Sigma 2470 M1 shown here. I recently bought Sigma 2470 M1 because I simply loved the lens when I tested it 2 years ago under low light and my pictures were sharper at 100% than the M1 samples shown here! Do not be taken aback by this review, folks!

If only car batteries held as much juice as a camera battery!

In the USA the MK1 was $1,099, now the MK2 is $1,199 for us, such a steal for an incredible lens (If I had more money to spend on lenses 🤣🤣)

It’s a manual and you looked like you were in a parking garage. Just push it and pop the clutch lmao. You didn’t need to freak out about getting a jump.

me a mark 1 owner: fukfukfukfukfuk shitshitshit

Is it me or do you look more and more Australian every upload?

I just find the 24-70 in general to be the most basic and boring focal range of them all. Its not quite wide enough, as well as long enough on the other end.

It sucks if you own the MK I of this lens but it sucks even more knowing that f*ckin Canon won‘t allow Sigma to produce this amazing lens for their mount. I opted for Canon back then because I have huge hands and I had bloody fingers after every shoot with Sony. Now I have to overpay for every RF Lens (they‘re outstanding but too expensive)

Sharp is nice but these clinically sharp lenses start to lack character at a certain point.
