  • Today we are taking a first look at the brand new Sigma 28-70 2.8 for Sony E mount and L mount. I got my hands on this lens a few days before its release and here's what I thought about it!

    Thank you man! Your image examples are way better than other reviewers on youtube even though you only showed 2. I'm gonna pick up the lens but worried about dust getting inside like people complained about with other sigma zooms. Gonna risk it for the biscuit

    • @itshunterking
      @itshunterking  3 года назад +1

      Totally understandable! I would worry too. However my tamron is the worst when it comes to dust inside the lens, and it’s never been an actual issue in terms of image quality. Can’t be worse than that!

    Hey buddy nice video ! Got the 20mm toi and im hesitating between this zoom or a 35 1.8 prime ... but i think ill go with the zoom

    • @itshunterking
      @itshunterking  3 года назад +1

      Thank you! I personally am totally fine shooting at 2.8, so the zoom makes more sense (at least for me) since I can use 35/50/etc all out of one lens. This also stems from me traveling with my camera a lot. I want The least amount of lenses possible to get the job done

    Great man!! I have tamron too...did you really see this MORE sharpness from sigma against the tamron??

    • @itshunterking
      @itshunterking  3 года назад

      Thanks man! At first glance no, but if you really pixel peep, the sigma is definitely a sharper lens, which isn’t surprising since sigma is definitely a higher end glass manufacturer

      @@itshunterking And what about AF speed and accuracy in comparison to Tamron 28-75 G1? Lot of users/reviews wrote that AF isn't better than Tamron G1 and only new Tamron 28-75 G2 has much better AF.
      I'm thinking about change my Tamron G1 lens with this Sigma or Tamron G2 for better bokeh and AF but in my country Tammy G2 cost over 380USD more than G1 and much higher than Sigma, which bokeh I prefer much more.

    How would this lens pair with the Sony a6400? 🤔

  • @NickL0VIN
    @NickL0VIN 3 года назад +1

    I’m probably gonna sell my Tammy for the Sigma as well. I’m a heavy traveler so it will make a difference. I use to travel with the a6600 + Sony 16-55mm and loved the size. I switched to a7c + Tammy 28-75mm and hated that extra inch and weight.
    Now with the new sigma 28-70 it’s the same size and less weight than my apsc 16-55mm f/2.8!

    Is it worth $200 cheaper to get size, and weight, vs. the bigger and wider 24-70 sigma, it’s just too close of a price difference, I’m leaning more on the bigger brother, it’s just to hard to call....

    But I have listen that Tamron is more sealed than Sigma.
    I wanted to buy the 24-70 Sigma but I read a lot of people saying that in a couple months there was a little dust inside it.
    Tamron says that 28-75 is cleary sealed but Sigma doesnt specify how much sealed is.
    For this reason I bought Tamron.
    Now it is so inexpensive.
    Sorry for my english, regards from Spain

      @@HIDROJEN77 Yo he leido a varias personas quejarse en foros del tema de polvo dentro de los Sigma, sin embargo, Tamron hace gala de su sellado. De hecho, en la pagina web he visto que tiene fotos de gente con sus objetivos en mitad de la selva.
      Vamos, parece que en ese aspecto si pone foco.
      El Sigma 28-70 si es un poco mas compacto pero no está tan bien sellado, es un poco mas caro y es 70 en lugar de 75.
      En cuestión de tecnología yo siempre prefiero comprar lo que ya está consolidado porque vas sobre seguro y encima su precio es menor por llevar ya tiempo en el mercado.

      I had the tamron 28-75for 1.5 years and I could see dust inside the lens and never really used in extreme weather conditions. I sold it for sigma 24-70 but now I am rather getting 28-70 due to size.

      Hey everyone prefers something different! And everyone will have different opinions. That being said, sigma lenses are definitely the higher quality brand, they contain more glass elements and better build quality which results in better performance overall (when talking about the Art series). However, I didn’t see a big enough difference to switch so I stuck with my tamron

    • @scotthullinger4684
      @scotthullinger4684 2 года назад

      @@itshunterking - No, actually, having more glass elements is hardly an advantage. Some of the best lenses ever made have had no more than 5 elements.
      In fact, quite the opposite is true, meaning that the more elements a lens has, the lower its quality is. Having more elements introduces more aberrations, and introducing more elements to correct the aberrations happens to introduce still MORE problems. Tamron makes the best aftermarket lenses, and in many cases, Tamron are even better than the some of the name brand lenses.
