Man your videos are getting so so so so much better. Loved your channel a couple years ago and somehow it's even better now! Loved the review too. Will definitely be picking it up!
Hi Chris, great video! Have you turned on lens distortion when “video”?Dose Sony a7iv recognize sigma? Shooting real estate video, barrel distortion is not good, vertical must straight. Thanks
How does it compare with the Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8? I would think that would make a more direct comparison than either the 16-35mm f/4 Zeiss or the 16-35mm f/4 PZ Sony.
Always fun and inventive in your presentation , Chris! I have the Tamron 17-28 and do find the focal range a bit limiting. Going to 35mm would probably save a few lens swaps and make the lens a lot more useful in general. The Sony did look a tad sharper to my eyes in the side by side comparisons.
Currently use my Zeiss 16-35 F4 for real estate video and the versatility is phenomenal. Crank it to 35mm is super 35 mode and you got great field of view for detail shots. It's truly an all in one focal length. Don't think the 16-28mm would work as well as an all in one lens even tho it's 2.8. Will be upgrading my Zeiss to the new Sony 16-35 F4 in the future.
When you were talking about step up rings, you said about it being 67mm for this lens, going up to your 82mm filter, isn't this lens 72mm though? Confused!
Hi Chris, amazing video as always. I am debating getting this Sigma 16-28 F2.8 or the Sigma 20mm F2... I mainly shoot video. I already have the Sigma 24-70 F2.8. Which one would you recommend? Thanks
did you notice that the sigma is wider than the sony at 16mm when you compared them side by side ? its wider than the sony G Master 16-35 f2.8 at 16mm too
4:13 I'm glad you showed that vignetting with 82mm filters. I was just about to buy this lens and use 82mm filters, but I film a lot of video in full frame 3:2 so I imagine the vignetting would be even worse for me.
Great vid. Two things how much did you zoom until you lost the edges of that filter? And I would so hate it if sigma comes out with an 16 35 art lens next year!
The Sony 16-35mm F4 PZ costs 1499€ here in germany for some reason. Thats like $1600 in US. So congrats to the Sigma 16-28mm F2.8, its getting pre-ordered.
Nice video man. I was very tempted to get the 12-24 gm but with the price being so high, this might be a much better option. Did you say that the sigma has internal stabilisation?
I have the Sigma 28-70/2.8 and the Sony 20/1.8G. I don’t *NEED* a 16-28/35 but after using the Sony 16-35PZ it paired SO well with the FX3. The internal debate is on between the Sony and this now…
weird they have the filter size for the same lens listed at 72mm but clearly youre showing a 67mm filter and the videos only 10 months old. wonder why their site says different (unless its a updated 16-28)
Great video! I have the Sigma 28-70 dg dn and have been waiting for this to pair with it. But my favorite focal length is 35mm and I was so disappointed when I saw it only went to 28. I normally run my 35 on my rsc2 and love it but need more range and am still between this and the Sony 16-35 f4. I do generally go to f2-3 occasionally. Which would you get in my situation?
You can always use active stabilization which makes it a bit more zoomed in and then clear image zoom for more reach too. Caveats with that but a potential solution. If you need the F2.8 aspect get this over the Sony
@@chrisbrockhurst Thats a great point! Ive only ever used standard stabilization or none when on a gimbal. Have you noticed the active stabilization on the a7siii ever fighting or causing noticeable correction with the gimbal?
So I just bought the Sigma 16-28mm for my A7s3 and mounted it with a Stepup ring from 67 to 82mm and a ND filter from Freewell and didn't see any edges :) and if you do you can set your Sony to Active Mode so it will be crop a little bit in :)
Did you make the switch. I'm picking it up for real estate and it's tricky deciding if 14mm has that much benefit over 16. Can't decide between this, the new pz and the 14-24
@@phucmapvlog the Sigma 16-28 is also a great contender but the NEW Sony does have a lot of features packed into that little frame I have to say. The aperture ring may be a deal breaker for me. Or lack there of.
If you compare it to 24mm and 85mm F1.4 , yes it is heavier than both. But compare to 28mm and 40mm F1.4 it is light weight. But it is quite sharp but its overall optical quality is not as good as 28mm and 40mm which are bargain right now (they are $560 each). 28mm, 40mm and 105mm f1.4 are the best prime lens Sigma has made so far. I do like that extra 2mm.
I believe you are a photographer since you mentioned 105 1.4 sigma.. 105 sigma is not practical for a videographer.. i'm a videographer btw. Still weighing which should i buy a 14-24 or the new 16-28 for my wide angle needs..
“You’re not going to be able to do macro because it’s wide” - wide angle macro lenses exist, the focal length doesn’t have anything to do with a len’s macro capabilities. See Laowa 15mm or the small Tamron primes
thats actually pretty genius compaing F2.8/F4 while reading the sponsor cut! Your sponsor must be happy seeing us not skip that part...LOL
Love that you combined the sponsor segment as part of the review, subbed just for that. Great video!
Man your videos are getting so so so so much better. Loved your channel a couple years ago and somehow it's even better now! Loved the review too. Will definitely be picking it up!
appreciate it man!
love your videos covers everything im looking for
the PZ is what makes the sony f4 good for gimbal work. I will keep my 16-35 2.8 gm still tempted to get the pz sony one as well
Thank you!! I think you are the only guys that tests filters with lens, I was tired of searching YT for the same :/
This was an amazing video, thanks
Hi Chris, great video! Have you turned on lens distortion when “video”?Dose Sony a7iv recognize sigma? Shooting real estate video, barrel distortion is not good, vertical must straight. Thanks
Thanks for the video.. I already pre-ordered the Sony 16-35mm pz. I think this was the right choice for me... time will tell.
How do you compare it to Tamron 17-28? Apparently they will have a new version soon? Thanks!
How does it compare with the Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8? I would think that would make a more direct comparison than either the 16-35mm f/4 Zeiss or the 16-35mm f/4 PZ Sony.
hi. between the 16-28 sigma and the tamron 17-28 which would you choose?

Yeh I was never a fan of that Tamron, 17 isn’t enough for me. That different between 16 and 17 is more than people think when it comes to wide!
Isn’t it a 72mm filter thread?
That's the same question I had! Maybe he made a mistake saying 67mm filter
What do you think of his focus speed? I have noticed that sometimes it is difficult for him to focus
available for fuji mount??
17-28mm works for me still. These new lens coming out are quite tempting. Interested to see what you end up going with.
Funny approach! :) Congrats.

I guess for some the f4 limits functionality a lot more than a small loss of range. For me it’s the sigma (or the Tamron 17-28) all the way.

Appreciate it. Easy - Definitely this. Will pair well with 24-70 and give you a nice broad range of focal length
You bought my dream camera!!!
did you notice that the sigma is wider than the sony at 16mm when you compared them side by side ? its wider than the sony G Master 16-35 f2.8 at 16mm too
I thought the filter thread was 72mm???
I’m pretty sure it is. I might wait till it comes though before I get some filters…
@@thejerrycliff Ive already got 67mm filters would be annoying if a step up ring didnt work.. the tamron 17-28 is 67mm
@@scampifingers it says 72mm on the sigma site… step up ring should work although you might see some of it compared to a solitary thin filter
Oh yeah baby, my next lens for sure . I already have SIGMA 2470.

Oof yeah, didn't even think about vignetting using step-up rings. All of my lenses are 82mm, so this is a huge bummer.
You can mitigate, or completely remove the vignette by using a 67mm direct to 82mm step up ring, instead of using a regular set of step up rings.
Great vid. Two things how much did you zoom until you lost the edges of that filter? And I would so hate it if sigma comes out with an 16 35 art lens next year!
only gotta go in a couple of MM to make it go.

No idea why it's so much more expensive in europe but yes literally 1500€ vs 900€
Nice video man. I was very tempted to get the 12-24 gm but with the price being so high, this might be a much better option. Did you say that the sigma has internal stabilisation?
Sigma also has a 14-24 for much less than the Sony 12-24

Agreed man, with the FX3 I think the 16-35 might be a no brainer if you don’t need that F2.8. The PZ is just lovely
I shoot with an fx3 too.
i own a 20mm as well.
The pz is so amazing? zoom rocker?
i need vertality i think
You didn’t get the new aps-c lenses? Wanted to know if the 10-20 can be used on FF like the older 10-18
Can't. Will have vignette
Yes you can use with crop mode..

Ends up being 24-42mm F4 + 16-28 F2.8.. Im having trouble deciding
I am considering 1628 and pz，don’t need 35mm，don’t need 2.8，coz 14 1.8 gm is on my list.I do landscape photography most of the time, very few videos.
So I just bought the Sigma 16-28mm for my A7s3 and mounted it with a Stepup ring from 67 to 82mm

urgh, and I just got the Tamron 17-28mm. The double focus breathing is enough to get rid.
Why sony 16-35 f2.8 is twice the price vs sigma 16-28 f2.8?
This or the 14-24?
using this for wedding cinematics is this reliable as good as the 16-35f4...!!!
+1 for the pic of Jesus Dwight 🤣
28 mm is enough cause i will us it with active stabilisation so thats nearly 33mm / close enough 🙂perfect lens for catalyst stabilsation
Smart 😉
I have the Sigma 14-24mm F2.8 DG DN, 24mm Art F1.4, 28mm Art F1.4, 40mm F1.4 Art. I think I will stay with what I have.
hows the 14-24? is it heavy? the downside too about the filter
