16-28 looks nice. Just ordered an a7IV and every time I think I made the wrong decision and should have waited for the upcoming Canon R7, Sigma and/or Tamron release a new E mount lens and make me realize it was the right decision. 3rd party RF lenses are pretty much non existent while there are tons for the E mount.
I have an a7 IV and honestly, I came from RF mount, and I still preferred my Canon R6 for shooting strictly stills, and I think the first-party RF lenses are wonderful, and I miss shooting with some of them. However, sometimes I just stop thinking about all the other cameras out there and just shoot with the a7 IV, and I'm so impressed that a midrange camera is basically capable of everything, and it is so good at stills and also video, and like you said, there are tons of fun third-party lenses, too. I think it's a great camera, but it's probably hard to get excited about it because it's not the best camera for any one thing. However, it puts in at least a B+ performance in every category, and that in itself is a great feature. I feel like the a7 IV is one of those cameras that even if you get another camera that is better for one specific thing, you'll still keep it around because it'll still be competitive at everything else. Plus, I lied about it not being the best at anything. I actually think it has the best control scheme of any mirrorless camera out there. The combination of the dedicated video/still dial and the four programmable dials is simply stellar. That's not present in any other full-frame camera to date, not even the A1, and I think it's legitimately the best control scheme that anyone has ever come up with.
I’ve been using the a7iii for 2+ years and recently have been through 2 a7iv’s (both have front focus issues even with the firmware upgrade). I have lots of investment in E lenses but would love to move to the R5. Yes - it’s the RF lens price and selection still holding me back. I’m actually going back to the a7iii after comparing images from over 20 shoots with the a7iv; I have many more sharp keepers with the a7iii. BTW, DXO has publicly acknowledged that the a7iv front focus issues aren’t resolved yet.
Canon R7 is APS-C with no lenses. If you like APS-C camera, than buy a Sony A6600 with Viltrox 23mm / 33mm / 56mm 1.4. I have a A7R4 with LA-EA5 and use it with old Minolta AF lenses, amazing lenses for no money.
@@mbvglider I have the Canon R6 and I tell you that without RF lenses (which cost a lot), you don't get the most out of it. For example on continuous focus (video) to have it silent, you need expensive RF lenses, both 35 and 85 RF (cheap), they don't work well at all. With A74 both 35 and 85 1.8 (cheap), they go great! I will switch to A74 shortly.
Thanks for the review. I've been debating between these two lenses. I really would like the additional wider angle of the 14 to 24 but the 16 to 28 is so appealing with its price point and weight and it being longer on the zoom end
I was about to buy the 14-24 lens. The price was holding me back from making the purchase. The 16-28 lens checks all my boxes and is so much cheaper. I think that I will wait a couple of months to see if some one who buys it at launch will sell theirs because they don't use it to maybe get it even cheaper.
@@A1Bokeh I still haven't bought it. I instead spent my money on the 35-150 Tamron that I fell in love with. I feel like I have no use cases for this one. I might get a fixed ultrawide at some point but right now I have a 24mm 1.8 Samyang that does it's job
Sigma must have been reading my mind. I couldn't quite commit tho the 14-24 as I'm just feeling out the L mount system. This has given me what I needed for my S1R!
Footage looks f*cking sick mate! I think I might have to make the purchase.. although I have the sony 20mm 1.8. I dno if I need both. would be nice to do a comparison
I got the 14-24mm f2.8 because in my country this lens is on discount. It has been out for about 2 years. A lot of Art lenses are on discount now the 28mm, 40mm f1.4 primes are about $560.
I need a Tamron 15-28mm in my life. Something lightweight, weather sealed, and creamy bokeh Tamron is known for. That would be the perfect wide angle lens. In the meantime, think I'm sticking with my Sigma 14-24mm despite the weight.
I plan to get A7RV with Tamron 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 (crop 2X to 800mm) and pair a 14mm F1.8 as ultrawide and everyday lens which can crop to 28mm F1.8 low light F3.6 DOF for that, is it good choice? Or better go with Loawa 10-18 manual, Sony 12-24 F4, Sigma 14-24 F2.8, Sony 16-35 F4 PZ or Tamron 17-50? Is the Power Zoom essential or any of these even the fix lens can do dolly zoom just fine? And can I set profile for each lens so the results by the golden look Tamron lenses and cooler look Sony lenses will look consistent? If want stabilisation in addition to the IBIS, there will be crop too, the 14mm better?
I have the 14-24 for my a74, with all the crops, super 35, Active Stab and breathing comp (in 4K60). This combo is too front heavy for my Weelbill s. Sorry I may be looking to trade it in and check the 18-28
great video！！but i have a question that i have a 24-105 lens then i actually have not idea that which lens i should to get sigma 14-24 or 16-28. can you give me have some advices？ thank you.
Not enough appreciation for the BREATHTAKING shots you opened up the video with haha. Don't be mad if your audience retention isn't too great because that's really all I needed to be like ok cool buying it lol
I have one copy of the 14-24 f2.8 DG DN , it has some breathing , it's true, but it's not as fast as in this video, I don't know if Calton sped up his video. (but on a few occasions and often the videomaker is to blame) 😆Lens flare annoying sometimes.

I am the owner of one copy of the Sigma 14-24 2.8 DG DN ART....if you watch ALL the videos of Christopher Frost you realize that sometimes there are really strange cuts in his reviews. Check it out for yourself and then let me know.
@CristoforoBonissone Hi, I noticed that he's not consistent with his reviews when it comes to taking the time to go through all the apertures. Sometimes, he'll go from Wide open and skip the rest of the apertures up until the last one, which is at the point of diffraction. I find that a bit annoying when I'm trying to compare lenses that he's reviewed. I also noticed that he recently reuploaded the Pergear 14mm MKII review that he had uploaded weeks ago, stating that it needed to be edited. He also tends to skip coma performance sometimes.
the sigma at times of low light, how noise and autofocus behave. I do wedding video at night and I have that fear. I'm between the tamron 17-28mm or the sigma 16-28mm
Love this video! Thanks for the support!
keep the good job Sigma!
There is a mistake in the weight of the art lens, the DG DN is 795g, you have the weight of the old HSM lens
You need to compare it to Tamron 17-28/2.8, which is much closer to this one.
Out of all the videos on this lens, this is the best for actual examples of the imagery it can yield in a practical setting. Thanks!
Thanks bud, appreciate it!

Thank you for this comparison! I literally started looking at wide angle e-mount lenses and will most likely pick up the 16-28, thanks again!
My pleasure, thanks for watching!

The new Sigma looks like a well put together lens. Look forward to the shootout against the new (roumoured) Tamron 17-28mm f2.8 Di III RXD G2
Sigma must have been reading my mind. I couldn't quite commit tho the 14-24 as I'm just feeling out the L mount system. This has given me what I needed for my S1R!
Did you get it?
Would be curious how this lens compares to the tamron 17-28 f2.8

Which one better for Real Estate and Interior Photo and Event Photography?? Please Please suggest
Missed your videos Tom! Welcome back! ❤️

Super helpful. I was just comparing these two lenses for a S5iiX.
Nice and detailed review 👍🏼
Thanks!
Thanks for this video! Really helps a lot with my purchase decision
Would love to see some real estate videos with these regarding barrel dist.
great video mate sigma 14-24 is superior iq and build and that its 14mm makes all the difference.

Great review at 75% playback speed
Great comparison, thank you.
4:57 don't say u did not noticed that in bg 🤣🤣
👀🤣
Sigma 14-24mm DG DN Art =795g (not 1150g)

I will soon take the A74 too, which optics are you using?
@@chuck7729 Get Prime Lens with A7 IV, for quality, for weight...and the lighter lenses are faster to move for internal engines, less noise also🙂
Wtf really??? Ive been waiting for sigmas Ultra wide angle zoom lens!!
Perfect. Thank you!
Great video, thank you very much!
great video！！but i have a question that i have a 24-105 lens then i actually have not idea that which lens i should to get sigma 14-24 or 16-28. can you give me have some advices？ thank you.
I’m in the same situation but for the cost and weight I think the 16-28 is what I’ll be getting.
I really like your tone colour on the photos sample comparison, any tips for that :)
Exactly what I was thinking about :D
compare it with the tamron 17-28, i own that lens and its nice
Why No is Testing with S5?

How does this compare to the Sony 16-35 PZ?
So… 70-200 2.8 contemporary coming very soon 😍
Contemporary or Art would be nice with internal zoom
Siggma 16-28 2.8 or tamrom 18-70 2.8??????
Great review! After watching Christopher Frost reviews on each lens. I wonder which one of you had the bad copy?🤔
