My review and comparison of the Sigma 24-70 f/2.8 ART lens for Sony E-mount and the Tamron 28-75 lens. In this review, I look at the resolution and sharpness of the Sigma 24-70 lens compared to the Tamron, the differences in angle of view, some real-world examples of photos, and Bokeh.

Thanks for the comparison, Matthew. We're very proud of our 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN Art and hope your viewers consider it when looking for a full-frame standard zoom.
The very first standard zoom lens that I bought was a Sigma 28-70 f/2.8 in 1993, back when Sigma's APO lenses seemed like the coolest thing in the world to me. Glad that Sigma has been staying on top of the game, continuing to make great lenses at reasonable prices.
any chance you could make a mk ii with a 24-70mm f2.8 with a 67mm filter thread 😅
I'm about to buy my first interchangeable lens camera, I was planning on starting out with the Sigma 14-24 and 24-70 Art lenses, but after watching countless videos for reviews (which are all positive) I've seen a lot of comments in the comment sections about the Sigma lenses having dust issues. This has me a little worried.
@@TheGeocab This isn't something that I have noticed myself, and I've used my lenses in some pretty rough conditions, but I suppose it's possible. A couple of things, though: in general, dust in the lens has no appreciable effect on image quality... it's more the sort of thing that bothers collectors rather than photographers. If you're talking about the lens sucking dust into the camera body and onto the sensor... well, I have dust problems regardless of what sensor I use, when I shoot Sony. Consequently, I've purchased a pack of sensor cleaning swabs and sensor fluid, and I always carry it with me when I'm traveling, now. It takes about 5 minutes in a quiet, still-aired place to clean a sensor, so nothing that I'd really worry about when choosing a lens. Good luck!
@@MatthewGore thank you very much for the reply and info.
Dude, you're not only a good reviewer, but also a great photographer. That's a great combo! Thank you.
One of the most comprehensive, coherent and insightful lens comparisons it has been my pleasure to watch. A model of its kind.
Thanks Kevin! It's always really helpful to hear that someone appreciates the way that I'm doing things.
Really appreciate the photos side by side comparison based on the different focal lengths!!! I've been searching for someone to review
I’m really grateful for watching this video in Korea I made a definite decision whether to buy a 2875 or 2470 lens I'm going to buy a tamron and I'm probably going to feel great joy!
Always love the depth of your videos and look forward to the next!
Thanks Scott! Glad you're still watching them :-)
28 isn't wide enough, Sigma shows the way here with their amazing 24-70 F2.8!
I think 28 is wide enough
I chose the Sigma, better sharpness, even sharper than the Sony 24-70mm f2.8 GM lens. Both are excellent, but the Sigma has AF/MF switch, programmable focus lock button which I love plus wider angle with the Sigma. Cheers
Thank you for a good review! This made my decision a bit clearer. One question, both lenses is on this “black week” or “black friday” on sale. The Tamron with the sales price and cashback is now 50% off compared to the Sigma. So I guess that this is a nobrainer for the Tamron? I already have the 17-28 Tamron for the wide shots.
depends what type of photographer you are. you shoot events with one camera , the Tameron is going to be pain having to constantly change lens.
Hi...nice video. You missed the Tamrons wide angel macro (special feature)
Very good and thorough review without being boring or showing things like charts and photos of brick walls, which have zero relevance in real world scenarios. Have you tested the newer Sigma 28-70 f/2.8 yet? Im leaning towards that or the Sigma 24-70 f/2.8
I've used it, but not done any sort of serious testing. All of these lenses are so excellent it's hard to go wrong.
better content than most of the big channels. thanks for the review!
Thanks!
A $220 difference in price is sizable, I think that's an oversight my dude.
Loved your review! You have a new subscriber! I would definetly say that the Tamron af is snapier then Sigma's in video, and focused much quicker and smoother, especially in backlight and low light situations. Gonna watch your other videos now. Cheers!
Thanks, and welcome aboard :-)
amazing photographs! And thanks for the down-to-earth review.
Thanks Mathias :-)
you are very professionally compared both lenses to me. I love it and get lots of info from this shoot. Thanks!!
After Tamron 17-28mm review you should follow up with the Tamron 28-200mm, many purchasers love this lens, I have NOT owned one yet.
BTW good review of the above 2 lenses. Sigma too heavy and Tamron not wide enough, I still use my adapted Canon very old lens 24-85mm very sharp and dirt cheap cos I don't make money from Photography. Cheerio.
I sold my Tamron 28-75 to get the cheaper 28-200 for that extra reach. I also got the Sigma 24-70 for the 24mm and bokeh.
same here !
One of the best reviews I have ever watched; perhaps because it is made by a photographer.
Thank you for the review! Will help us a lot!
Great review and fabulous images!
Thanks Paul!
Nice review👍 i personally own the tamron 28-75 i love this lens soo much...as i have used both lens...the sigma lens is okay but not for video had trouble focusing and could not balance it on my ronin sc... i would go with tamron anytime... i would to see the wide lens comparison between tamron 17-28 and sigma 14-28 looking forward❤️
Sigma 14 28?? Sigma have 14 28 on sony mount????
@@kostasrestas 14-24* sorry😂 typing mistake
Did you find a way to balance the sigma 24-70 on ronin sc, over the time ?
Hi Matthew,
I’ve now watched this video 4 times, I’ve just sold my Sony 24-105mm f/4, I was going to purchase the Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 Art “but” now there’s a new kid on the block the Samyang/Rokinon 24-70mm f/2.8.
Do you have any plans on doing a comparison between the Sigma and Samyang?
Please help me out,
Regards
William
Hi William. I'm probably not going to review the Samyang any time soon, but it'll definitely be on my list for the future. From what I've seen, it looks like a good lens, but Samyang's autofocus hasn't been up to speed with Sigma and Tamron in the past, so I'm a little skeptical of their lenses still. Hope they've gotten it right with this one. Good luck!
so amazing Matthew. You can sell any lens by just showing your photos!
Great video!
I have a7iii with tamron 28 75 and its great..
I have to say that sigma 24 70 came dusty from inside very fast, lot lot faster than tamron..
Also when you use a7riii or a7riv with sigma or tamron the diferences are less than if you use them with a7iii, the sigma is sharper with a7iii..
Thanks for the comparison! It's awesome. I have a question, what do you think of the sigma 28-70mm compare with the tamron 28-75mm? BTW I am also a storm fan, Go Storm!
I haven't actually had a chance to spend much time with the new Sigma 28-70 f/2.8, yet. Sorry! Hope that Noelle Quinn leads the team as well as Dan Hughes did :-)
@@MatthewGore Quinn was a smart PG, I believe in her, but I am sure there would be some bumps on the road.
Very good review and beautiful pictures.
Nice review! I think build quality is very important as well, especially when it comes to the price.
Modern lenses are all stellar in image sharpness, because it's what all customers are looking for...
But there are other features to consider, like distorsion, vignetting, chromtic aberrations, build quality, bokeh quality (tamron it's terrible) and stabilizer....
That said, for an hobbist the switch to mirrorless it's only justified by a smaller and lighter setup, so there's no sense in buying heavy lenses, like 2.8 zoom, especially with modern sensor. So i would pick the tamron 2875 or the fantastic sony 24105 G.
If I was a pro, i probably would go for sony or sigma 2570 2.8 depending on budget.
Damn, what an amazing review. By the end I forgot about the review and was just enjoying your photography. Just amazing stuff man, especially the shots of the protests. Somehow you really captured the mood and feeling of the people. One question, in the shots of downtown that you were using to compare the sharpness at various focal lengths and apertures, I'm curious where you shot those from. It looked a lot like the 12th Street Bridge overlook but seemed a slightly different angle. Anyway, great stuff, subbed!
Thanks, glad you liked it :-) I shot those comparison shots from Jose Rizal Park, just up the hill a bit from the 12th street bridge. I also shot from Kerry Park, and at Deception Pass, but there were some irregularities with the Kerry Park shots (I think that the wind was an issue) and the deception pass shots just didn't have enough fine detail across the frame to be useful.
@@MatthewGore Awesome, thanks for the response! I enjoy shooting from Kerry Park and the 12th Street Bridge but I haven't been to Jose Rizal Park before. I'll definitively check it out. Thanks again for the great review.
Thanks you very much. Really helped me to decide which one to buy :)
Glad you found it useful! Enjoy your new lens :-)
SO....Which one did you get?
Im interested in seeing an updated review of these lenses since tamron released a new version of their 28-75 lens
Both are excellent lens, but I chose the Tamron over the Sigma due to the size and the price of the Tamron. The sigma definitely gain on the wider angle, but Tamron’s macro is much closer than Sigma, and had it on my a7iii all time.
Wonderfully Informative... Thank you!
Great comparison! Will be on the lookout for the next comparison of the 17-28 vs 14-24. Is there a Sigma 100-400 vs 100-400 GM? Cheers!
both those lenses are really clean and sharp from edge to edge, compared to the older lenses
I don't know about the Sigma but the Tamron 28-75 is amazing for infrared photography. I carry the Tamron on my IR converted Rii and the 24-105 G (which is worthless for IR) on my Riii. Not having to deal with hot spots in post makes IR much more rewarding. The 17-28 is also an incredible zoom for IR.
Hey Martin, it's been ages since I've even thought about IR photography... thanks for the info! I'd love to take a look at your IR converted RII shots... if you have a link, let me know, or just email me a couple... matthew@lightand...etc
@@MatthewGore My Smugmug is a mess. :p Anyway, here's a journal from the September wildfires from the perspective of my home which was not in danger. www.zhullfamily.net/Share/Photo-Journal-Oregon-Fires-2020/n-PVx5cQ
And these are my 2020 photos. www.zhullfamily.net/2020/Public/
Easiest way to view is to look at the photo details. Any image that was taken with the A7R2 is IR. I have taken quite a bit of IR this year. Images are in order chronological.
Great video and I love the shots!!!! I think I’m going to go with the tamron to save on money and weight when carrying. I don’t like shooting too wide anyway
Genuinely exceptional photos, I was hooked from the blue wall painter
Good luck with your channel though honestly I don't think you will need it
Professional comparison, thank you
Great review!! Thank you
great review thank you, now need to decide between the sigma and sonys Gmaster
Excellent colors, my question is if the images are as captured by the camera or is there a job in RAW digital development
For all of the photos in the "general shooting" sections, I've adjusted them for exposure (including black and white points), color temperature, and sometimes added a bit of vibrance at about the same level you'd get from shooting JPG.
@@MatthewGore the colours look great! Looks so true and accurate 👍
Thank you so much for the info!
It is kind of difficult for me to choose.
I just ordered the sony a7riii but the sigma gets out a little bit of my budget, so I dont know if the price difference is worth it.
I want it mostly for portraits and fashion, what do you think would work better for me?
Btw youre such a good photographer, beautiful pictures.
Thanks! I personally think the bokeh on the Sigma is a little nicer, and that makes a bigger difference with portrait and fashion than the general shooting that I do. But you might also want to consider a prime or two instead. Maybe an 85mm or 135mm. There are some inexpensive 85mm 1.8s out there, like the Sony.
This review is superb! Really enjoyed the presentation and pace. Definitely helps with making a purchase decision. I’m leaning towards the Tamron. May I however ask your experience with dust ingress? I have read some reviews that the Tamron has been sucking up dust inside the lens? This concerns me over its long term use.
Hi David,
I haven't noticed any dust in the lens, and I've carried it in some really dusty places. I do travel with a set of sensor swabs and some sensor cleaner, though; that's a necessity with most mirrorless cameras, and certainly with Sony.
@@MatthewGore great, thanks for the feedback. I don’t mean dust on the sensor but within the lens itself but I assume you were referring to both. Thanks again.
the one im looking for. thanks man!
I hear that the Tamron lens wears down pretty quickly, specifically with its rubber rings where they wear down and get loose. Have you shared the same experience? Do you find this is easily user replaceable? Any other build quality quirks after long use?
I've been using this Tamron 28-75 HARD for the past couple of years, and have no build-related issues. It's in great shape. Generally, I think it's a better practice to judge each lens model separately (rather than as a whole brand); regardless of how good a brand is, every manufacturer has some good designs and some failures.
@@MatthewGore Ok interesting. That’s great to know and hear your experience with it. I was referring specifically to this Tamron 28-75 from what I read and wasn’t referring to other Tamron lenses. I guess how people store their lenses or their climate makes a difference. Do you keep your lenses in a bag/case or out on like a shelf? Either way, your statement gives me more confidence in the Tamron again, thank you!
@@dwmspace I don't store the lens in any special way... if it's not on my camera, it's usually knocking around in a backpack or shoulder bag. However, as you've seen, the majority of my time is spent in the Pacific Northwest, where temperatures are moderate and humidity levels are moderate (or a bit higher), so I could certainly believe that rubber components might not hold up as long in more extreme environments.
@@MatthewGore right, I guess that might well be why. Thanks again!
This was by far the best review on these tow lenses. As a beginner bought the Sony A6000, with crop sensor couple years ago. Which lense do you recommend for the camera with the crop sensor. Not sure if I am ready to buy a new camera body at this time.
Glad you found it useful! If you're shooting an a6000, check out my video about the Tamron 17-70 f/2.8 : ruclips.net/video/Z_6DrSo5Aow/видео.html There's a Sigma 16-50 f/2.8 that is also an option now, but with no image stabilization, so I'd still recommend the Tamron.
Thank you! Much appreciate the new link and advice.
Like for Review for a long time!!! I am using Tamron 28-75 2.8 NOW on my SONY A7III
Why isn't there a zoom in this range with image stabilization?
Probably because all of the modern, full-frame Sony cameras that they'd fit have in-body image stabilization which works really well at these focal lengths (at least, it's at its best at this range... there's some dispute about how well it works with telephotos), so leaving out stabilization in the lens saves on size, weight, and cost. Of course, that doesn't help if you're shooting the lens on an APS-C body that doesn't have IBIS, but for those cases there's the Tamron 17-70 f/2.8 VC, I guess.
Hey, i hope u doing well nice video first of all and can u please tell me which camera u r using in this video while shot wall painting artist and lens also
Thanks! Yes, the camera for all of those shots was my Sony A7RIII, and all of the painting photos were taken with the Sigma 24-70
I heard that the sigma has some issues with the close shots "soft" details , and the CA is also not much good Is that right ?? I didn't use it personally but that is what i saw on youtube channel
I didn't experience any problems with chromatic aberration with the Sigma, but with Sony cameras, the embedded profiles automatically correct CAs, so I probably wouldn't unless there were something really wrong. I didn't shoot a ton of close-ups, but I did shoot some, and they were just fine. Not saying that other people didn't have a different experience, but I didn't have those problems.
Thank you so much for replying 🙏🙏❤
Sigma wins in 24 mm end. Tamron wins in light weight. It also gains advantage in portrait shooting. To me I prefer Tamron.
can you do a comparisson on the new tamron 17-70mm f2.8 vs this 2
Nice video, thank you!!
Will you be doing this test on a A7riv? I had the Tamron lens couple with an A7iii and was very happy. Then I bought an A7riv and this combo ruined photos from a long trip trough Europa. Sharpness in the absolute center was ok but even just out of center really bad. I traded the lens for a Sigma which proved to be much better. I might have had a bad copy of the Tamron but I think I would have noticed this on the A7iii.
Probably not, unless something happens to my A7RIII in the next year or two. For me, images in the 40 megapixel range are a great balance between resolution and file size / camera speed / processing speed, etc. So, I'm not going to pay thousands to upgrade unless I have to :-)
I have the Tamron on my Sony A7iii and I Love it....I didn't know if I would ge this Sigma as well or the Sigma 50mm Art lens. Both of these lenses are amazing, truth be told. And This video is Awesome. By the time you got to the George Floyd Protests, I was just enjoying the video instead of wondering what lens to get 😂. SOLID work Dude.
Why is nobody talking about the dust issue of sigma? That changes a lot of things. I want so much that extra 4mm wideness but with the problem of dust collecting... I surely will go for the Tamron becauae when I buy something I don't want to have issues especially when it is an expensive thing :(
Personally, I can only say that I never had any problems with the Sigma lens collecting dust (at least, no more than any other lens). More generally, though, dust inside of lenses does not affect the image quality since it's not on the focal plane (unlike dust on a sensor, which is a serious issue... but even then, only when the aperture is stopped down). So, I guess the answer is it's not a universal issue, and it's an issue that doesn't have any practical effects.
Hey, really amazing review :)
I can only buy one :/ which would you take? I like doing short movies, portrait, animal, and travel :)
I know both are amazing.
Ultimately, I'd probably go with the Sigma. I'm happy with the Tamron because of the weight and the fact that it plays nicely with the 17-28mm (just published that review this morning) because it's also light and covers the extra wide-angle range that I need, but if I were deciding based on the single lens alone... the Sigma.
@@MatthewGore Thanks man :)
I will check the review tomorrow and for sure leave a like ! it s 11.30 pm in Luxembourg...
Good night.
Great content.
love your photo
Thanks! :-)
Hi! Thank you for your amazing video! I would love if you share with me how is the weather proof holding on on the tamron? I am using the sigma now and sadly I realize that it is collecting dust like a vacuum cleaner and I have to open and clean it by my self every few weeks... This makes me think to sell my sigma 24-70 and 85 for 28-70 and 70-180 by tamron... Thank you in advance!
I haven't had any dust problem with the Tamron, and I've been using it for years now. But dust inside a lens isn't a real problem, either... it's not going to affect image quality. Dust on the sensor is another issue... and I've had plenty of problems with that (especially in India), but that was more an issue of changing lenses rather than using any particular lens.
@@MatthewGore Yes I understand it is not such a big deal but from time to time really big particles appear from the inside. I am very very thankful for your answer! Wish you best of luck!
great in depth review. made my decision easier
Do you notice that tamron is +0.3 brighter exposure?
No, I have not noticed that either lens is consistently brighter than the other.
Which is faster in focus speed Sigma 24 - 70mm vs Tamron 28 75 mm for video?
I don't really shoot video, so I'm not sure about these lenses video performance. For photography, they're both nice and fast... I've used the Tamron for some sports (basketball) video and it does well. The Sigma seems about the same speed, but I haven't tested it as thoroughly. Sorry.
in your opinion matt,
which lens has better colors?
going off what you said, that the tamron has more contrast, are you saying that tamron has punchier colors?
When I said that the Tamron had more contrast, it was just in reference to those particular shots... and it may have been the result of the haze off the water. Both lenses had good color, for me.
I don't shoot video, in general, and when it comes to photos, I shoot RAW. With both lenses, the RAW files are somewhat flat, as you'd expect... and I always create a color profile for RAW processing from a color checker and either the DataColor software or LumaRiver. After that, the colors are identical and accurate, regardless of which lens I'm using.
For my purposes, I've never had any problems getting accurate colors and contrasty images with either lens... I can't say that one is better than the other in that regard. Sorry!
@@MatthewGore thank you for the informative response, appreciate it very much man!
Is the sigma 24-70mm good for both landscape and Portraits?
Yes, definitely. It's not the perfect lens for portraits, but it's a good one, and it's a very good choice for landscapes. Ultimately, any good lens can be a good portrait lens... some people shoot good, interesting portraits with wide angles, and some with long telephotos. Traditionally, lenses in the 85-135mm range are considered most flattering to models (wider lenses can make them look a little heftier than real life, while longer lenses can make people look a little flat), but 50-70mm are pretty popular too.
Make a video about your Orchha visit in India.
That's a good idea... it was a beautiful area that is not often mentioned elsewhere.
Are you Brad hall?
i want the sigma 24mm 1.4 and the 18-35 and the 24-70 and the 70-200 all from sigma i love what i'm hearing from them so i want to start getting these camera lenses. i really like what i see so i want to know how good sigma art series is
They're all really good, in my experience. There are a couple of primes that are a little less amazing, but they're all very good. If there's a problem with them, I've had some issues with autofocus on Sony, but I never really shoot video with Canon so I don't know there. Autofocus for photos is good in both systems, but better with Canon.
@@thewetpen yes i have a canon 80d i guess i'll go full frame but not right now i will wait until my money get straight. but i'm going to buy the 24-70 next and the 18-35 from sigma and see what that does for me. what is b roll? and what's a good flash
@@crayshaunhenderson1265 Hey... sorry, The Wet Pen is also me (a second hobby), and I just forgot to switch accounts before responding to you. B-roll is extra video footage that's basically filler... it's decorative and can help set the scene for your main subject. So, if you were publishing a video about a football game in which the Seahawks win, you might show some B-roll of the stadium, crowd or the cheerleaders in between clips or at the beginning or end.
@@MatthewGore well thanks man i really appreciate that now i know what it is. hey matt can you help me in deciding which 24-70 lens i should buy? i'm hearing the sigma is solid and the tamron is great so help me make a decision please
@@MatthewGore isn't sigma better than tamron or is it vice versa please school these people they need to know.
thx, super
🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍👍
IF OLD VERSION OF TAMRON WAS SO GOOD THAN G2 IS DENINATLY BETTER THAN SIGMA
12 ppl r dumb, this video rocks!
Great review BUT your politics interfered with your integrity.
