Honestly you deserve so many more subscribers. The content that you post is always informative and I learn so much from you! Continue making this fantastic content! You have a knack for it!
Jason I know this video is old, but I come to all your reviews before I decide on my purchases. And you’ve never let me down yet. I plan on getting this lens for my a7iv and I am so excited to finally get a zoom lens over my sigma 35 1.4
Oh my god, thank you for this one. I've been stuck back and forth between the Tamron 28-75 and the Sony 24-105, and this lens solves my problems with both.
Exactly my situation! So glad i held out for this one. It really is a little heavy though, haven't gotten round to using it for events or travelling proper yet.
I wanted the Tamron since it came out and now that I finally decided to upgrade I’m going to get this one. I don’t mind the weight if it has a better build quality and it looks better. Once again you can’t go wrong with Jason Vong 👍🏻
I also thought it was too heavy for casual use so I then rented the tamron 28-75mm. Tamron was great and light but then I realized I shot half of my images at 24mm when I rented the Sigma. So I had to go with the 16-55mm F2.8 on APSC. That’s a 24-83mm équivalent and super light! Yes, it’s APSC but sometimes for travel the combination of weight and focal length matters the most! Thanks again for a funny video!
@Brendan Taylor Because it's expensive, has onion rings, and not particularly sharp @ 70mm? Sony associates GM with sharpness and bokeh, and at $2600 they better deliver them. Would also like to see if the Sigma is more lightweight than the GM.
Great Video Jason! Stumbled across your page a few days ago and after watching some of your stuff it made me want to get back into Photography for the first time since 2013 so i purchased this lens and a Sony A7iii based on your review videos. Look forward to learning more from your page!
Thanks Jason, in original video when you bought it in Tokyo, you said two things. 1) that you would sell this lens after the review & 2) that you had 24-70 2.8 gm and you'd never get rid of that. Hence my question. I get that Sigma is best value for money, but if money was no object which would you recommend?
This is a great option, with weather sealing and short focus distance. I bought the Sony 16-55, for APSC, it costs 200 more, no weather sealing, not great minimum focus distance (although the same IQ as Sigma 16mm f/1.4 more or less) . A7M3 + Sigma is more bang for your buck than A6600+ Sony 16-55. I sold my FF cameras and bought 2 A6100 which are great (300 less than A6400). This is tempting if in 2020 i may get a FF option. I bought also the RX100M7, which is really great for travel. Close to A6100 + 16-55 in daylight (at 200% you notice softer corners and less contrast, but otherwise hard to tell), The RX100M7 is better than a Sony APSC with the cheap kit zoom 16-50. Anyway great review. I think the 4mm at the wide end are a huge deal for a travel zoom. 28-75 may be ok for events, people photos/fashion, but too limiting for travel. buying a separate wide angle would cost more than the price difference between the Tamron and Sigma. Also switching lenses when traveling increases the risk of dust on the sensor, drops and spills.
I bought the A7III with the Tamron 17-28. I wouldn't mind this sigma over the Tamron 28+75 except for the weight. I think Tamron makes more sense for me now. It's quite light and complements the Sony bodies more.
I'm using an A7iii with 17-28; I bought and returned the 28-75. Here's why: I love small and light, a lot, so I completely agree with you. I've used (but not owned) the 24-70GM, and it really is quite a brick. The 17-28 is awesome because it doesn't feel like it has many compromises over the 16-35, is super small, and just a fun little lens. Here's what I didn't like about the 28-75. 24 vs 28 is noticeable; it just is. It really does have this feel of making you wish you could zoom out just a bit further. Next, the MF focus ring, at least on my copy, was truly awful. It felt like it had zero resistance. To be clear, I don't even mind focus by wire, I just hated THAT one. Lastly, the bokeh just isn't that attractive. When comparing the 28-75 vs the GM, the Tamron wins just because the price of the GM is so massively high. Now that this is in the picture? I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the recommendations for the Tamron start moving this way. If absolute small and light is your #1, then yeah, still Tamron, but the Sigma has a lot of big wins too.
@@elliotw.888 Tamron for me. I love that it's so small and light. It comes down to how you shoot and what you need, but I don't care about 14 vs 17, but I do care about small and light. 14 is *really wide.* If you want that look, well there you go, but 17 is damn wide too. When the 17-28 is on, I'm super small and light, it's weather sealed, and I'm just pretty content. The 14-28 looks nice, but I'm not interested in more or less double the price to get 14-17; it's just not a need I have. Tamron is literally half the weight. 17-28 + Sigma 24-70 is a hell of a 'budget' combo.
@@alexchiem1175 I got one last week! :D Haven't rolled it through its paces yet, and I'm no expert, but I love it so far. Just ticks the right boxes for me. No MASSIVE $$$ of the GM, fixes all the things that annoyed me about the 28-75 for just a little more. I still love my 17-28, but the Sigma 24-70 is just so much better than the 28-75 for me. It's bigger and heavier, though.
Yo Jason! Nice vid mate! I’m following you for a time so I’ve the kind of trust with your reviews 😂well you helped me also out with choosing between a Sony or a sigma! Sigma it is 💯
At first I thought this is just a good lens of Sigma, I got it, but when I saw the close focusing part, I decide to order one right now...Thanks Vong for this great review, very very useful!
Awesome review, I already have the Tamron 28-75 so I will stay with it since I like the quality of my images and how light it is. When will you do a review of the Sony Ecb-B1m microphone? How does it work for loud music in weddings and live events?
I know this is an older video so maybe you could make another on this lens regarding the dust problem. I understand the new lenses have better seals but I'd still like your opinion.
Congratulkations Jason, youve convinced me to switch over to the ART series for both the wide 14-24 and swapping out my 28-75 for the 24-70. I thank you, my wallet hates you.
I’ve sold my Sony Zeiss 16-35mm to buy this Sigma and then I ‘ve sold my Samyang 85mm f1.4 to buy new Sigma 85mm f1.4 dg dn. I have the Sony 24mm f1.4 G. Master. In the future I will need an ultra wide angle, prime or zoom.? Sigma 14-24? Thank you so much 😊
Jason, I have the 24-105 F/4G from Sony right now and I absolutely love it. But for the shallower DoF and portraits I tend to use my canon 50mm f/1.4 (on a Sigma MC-hammer adapter). Would you recommend swapping the Sony with the Sigma?
three years later i'm having a similar situation, recenty bought my A6700 and a Sony 18-105 F/4G since it was somewhat affordable after spending on the camera itself, I've been enjoying it so far but sometimes i feel the need to have more aperture available when I try taking pictures of moving subjects. Did you get the Sigma lens? how did it go?
Great ! Ive see some people to say that this lens came dusty from inside very easy and fast,is it true?? Is the only think that makes me think it twice before i buy one!
I keep reading about the dust problem online, but haven’t seen anything in any video reviews. The dust is the only reason I am hesitant to commit to this lens.
How is it going?? Is it dust free?? . Considering buying one, however I'm afraid of dust issue.
4 года назад+1
I’m so undecided... can’t decide if getting the sigma 24-70 f2.8 or the Sony 70-200 f4... I know they are extremely different, but I have budget only for 1 lense... advice?
No I don't even own this lens but I'm thinking about buying it in combination with the a7 iii as my next camera and I've heard in some other videos that many people had a dust problem after a few months
Great review as always! I am in the market to buy a standard zoom for my sony... the only option within my budget is the Tamron and this Sigma. I have seen a lot of people facing this issue with dust (just after a month or two). I really wanted to buy the Sigma but after reading those I want to go for Tamron. I guess you have used Sigma for a while, if so could you please post a picture of the front element or share your overall experience? Thanks!
Ive been waiting for this review, I just got updated that my sigma 24-70 art for Sony is 3 days away from arriving. Very excited to upgrade from the A7iii kit lens. Awesome video 💯
@@reefoceania5954 sigma has problem with delivery... i dont know exactly, whats their problem is.. :s its feels like they will delay it again... still 30 days to wait :c
Great review Jason. Came upon this video while doing research on this lens. Quick question: I noticed you are using the Sony mic in the footage of you in the 🌧 in Japan. Do you recommend this mic over the Rode mics?
Should I go with the tamron 28-75or the sigma 24-70? I like traveling so I don’t know what’s more important the extra 4mm or carrying a lighter lens all day!? Also I’m between the Sony 1.8 or the rockenon 1.4 for portraits? HELP
Hej Jason. Great video as always. Can I get your opinion. I am debating if I Should get the sony 24-70 mm gm or the sigma 24-70mm. If money wasnt Something you factor in, which One would you pick?
Consider this you can buy Tamron 28-75 & Samyang AF 85f/1.4 or Sony 85 f/1.8 in price of one Sigma 24-70 f/2.8. Sony's 85 have good autofocus for both photo & video whereas Samyang's 85 is great for photos.
Thank you for the great review I shoot primes (Sony 35mm 1.4 GM, Sigma 50mm 1.4 and Sigma 85mm 1.4) on my A7IV whenever I can because I'm a fast glass addict but this Sigma 24-70 is my safety net
How does it compare with the 24-70 sigma for EF adapted with mc-11? I have the old one. Is it worth the upgrade to the new one? Does it autofocus better in video compared to the old one ?
Hi Jason, Big thanks for an awesome review! May I have your opinion as to which option is better as I'm contemplating on investing on a Sony mirrorless system: 1. Option 1: A7iii + FE 24 1.4 GM + FE Sigma 24-70 DG DN ART. 2. Option 2: A7iii + FE 35 1.8 + FE 85 1.8 + Sigma 24-70 DG DN ART. I do love the 24mm FL as I did own a Nikon 24mm 1.4G then shooting with it ostly portraits, food, landscapes and cityscapes. Thank you Jason.
I just went on a 10 day trip and brought my normal lenses (12,24,35,85 & 70-200 f4). At the end of the trip, I wished I had the Sigma 24-70 zoom instead of the primes. So yes, I hope to get before my next trip. And to those who wonder why I don't have the Tamron 28-75....had it and didn't like it.
I already have the Tamron 28-75 and I love it. Probably would have got this one if they came out at the same time though. However now I’m just waiting on that sigma 70-200 and 70-180 from Tamron to see which one of those I should get.
I need help with this setup if anyone's reading! I bought this exact setup and want to film videos, but I'm finding that it doesn't behave as well as in your footage. Half the time it is quite slow to focus (sometimes it just sits there and doesn't), notably when transitioning between near and far. If I depress the shutter button halfway, it will usually focus on whatever it's front of it. But then why isn't it doing that automatically without needing the button? I need it to work without touching the button, because I want to use it on a Movi gimbal, so I can't be reaching in there and pressing the button to fix these issues during shots.
24-70 mm is very versality👍👍... i use the Sony 24-70 GM Lens and i‘m happy with this lens. Today i‘ve bought the Sigma 14-24 Wideangle Lens and i‘m so curious about the Results 😀
Yo Jason, great video! How were you able to zoom when the camera is on the gimbal? Doesn't that redistribute the weight which would make you need to rebalance the gimbal?
Jason, I'm looking for a lens for a Sony A7Siii. I'm going to use the lens for shooting music videos... if you could only choose 2 lenses, what would be your top 2 choices? I need help. Thank you
I'm torn between the Sony 35mm and this Sigma 24-70. I'm an image quality freak but I can only afford one lens this year. If the Sigma quality is very close to Sony then I suppose I will go that way. Super low light is not a big deal for me.
I would say that a lot of your gripes are with the 24-70 form factor not this lens in particular. In my opinion that's the type of stuff that doesn't really belong in the middle of the review for this lens (especially if it's lighter/smaller than other 24-70s). You did a good job explaining yourself but I think throwing in those two cents at the end is enough! Great video as always though!
Jason- Great video! I'm trying to decide between this lens and the sony 24-105 f4 for professional portraits of all types. Most importantly, is the Sigma sharper than the Sony?? I want the versatility of up to 105, but also want the best IQ. Thanks!
I see you using the weebill S with sony. Do you have any connection issues? Do you have some kind of "smothness issues" when you go continuisly to one side. Like making a round focusing one object? I aks because i am having some issues where i dont know if its me or the gimbal. BTW nice video. I am waiting for my sigma 24-70 since 4 weeks. Gave back my sony 24-70 due to the close focus length and otherwise similar features.
Great video Jason. Love your work. I have the Tamron 28-75 on my A7iii is the Sigma worth changing to? I am a wedding videographer and would look to keep the Tamron as a backup and us the sigma as the main lens. Thanks bud keep up the good work
Please review the PD sling 10L v2, and show off how tripods look attached to it. Not one reviewer yet has shown this. I have the v1 and like the tripods strap, but looking to upgrade if its worthwhile.
Jason, Do you think we will see a 24-70GM mark II? It seems like the GM is a bit dated (just sold mine) and that the sigma and tamron offers some benefits like being lighter and having close focus. I mean, Canon released two RF lenses that covers this focal length already. Maybe Sony could release an F2 as well
Hi! Great review! thank you for sharing your knowledge. I wanted to know your opinion about this lens on an a6300 body. Since the 6300 don't have in-body stabilization, Will the image stabilization be an issue?

Yes, it’s APSC but sometimes for travel the combination of weight and focal length matters the most!
Thanks again for a funny video!
This was one of the most impressive lenses I've used. Its near sharp as primes.
Please tell me what is better for video shooting Sigma 24-70mm Art or Sony 24-70mm GM. I will rarely take photos. Sony A7 m3 camera
waiting for that new 70-200mm from Sigma and this 24-70mm, I might add this to my arsenal too!

Great review as always! I am in the market to buy a standard zoom for my sony... the only option within my budget is the Tamron and this Sigma. I have seen a lot of people facing this issue with dust (just after a month or two). I really wanted to buy the Sigma but after reading those I want to go for Tamron. I guess you have used Sigma for a while, if so could you please post a picture of the front element or share your overall experience? Thanks!
Ive been waiting for this review, I just got updated that my sigma 24-70 art for Sony is 3 days away from arriving. Very excited to upgrade from the A7iii kit lens. Awesome video 💯
:'( I'm waiting since 30 days and have to wait now again for 40 days... feels so fuckin bad
Why such a long wait? I ordered mine 12/05/19, won’t arrive until Thursday
@@reefoceania5954 sigma has problem with delivery... i dont know exactly, whats their problem is.. :s its feels like they will delay it again... still 30 days to wait :c
I am so glad I haven't bought the 24-105 F4 yet, I can save up for this one instead! Thank you so much! :D
I've sold this one for the sigma ahahah
You literally havethe best reviews bc you cover everything mostly.
Great review Jason. Came upon this video while doing research on this lens. Quick question: I noticed you are using the Sony mic in the footage of you in the 🌧 in Japan. Do you recommend this mic over the Rode mics?
Should I go with the tamron 28-75or the sigma 24-70? I like traveling so I don’t know what’s more important the extra 4mm or carrying a lighter lens all day!? Also I’m between the Sony 1.8 or the rockenon 1.4 for portraits? HELP
Thanks for this review! Definitely keeping my Tamron 28-75!
What made you want the tamron over the sigma?
Fantastic review. Thank you for the honesty 👍
Hej Jason. Great video as always. Can I get your opinion. I am debating if I Should get the sony 24-70 mm gm or the sigma 24-70mm. If money wasnt Something you factor in, which One would you pick?
Would you suggest this lens for video work or more for portrait use ?
Sir which one is best for wedding photography sigma 24-70 or tamron 28-75 for my sony a7m3 please help me
Both are superb, bokeh of tamron is not good as Sigma.
Consider this you can buy Tamron 28-75 & Samyang AF 85f/1.4 or Sony 85 f/1.8 in price of one Sigma 24-70 f/2.8. Sony's 85 have good autofocus for both photo & video whereas Samyang's 85 is great for photos.
@@amitkrupal1234 thanks sir
Thank you for the great review I shoot primes (Sony 35mm 1.4 GM, Sigma 50mm 1.4 and Sigma 85mm 1.4) on my A7IV whenever I can because I'm a fast glass addict but this Sigma 24-70 is my safety net
Thanks for this video! I’m getting mine in the mail today 😁😁 what gimbal do you recommend with this lens set up?
How does it compare with the 24-70 sigma for EF adapted with mc-11? I have the old one. Is it worth the upgrade to the new one? Does it autofocus better in video compared to the old one ?
this is way better and smoother
Hi Jason,
Big thanks for an awesome review! May I have your opinion as to which option is better as I'm contemplating on investing on a Sony mirrorless system:
1. Option 1: A7iii + FE 24 1.4 GM + FE Sigma 24-70 DG DN ART.
2. Option 2: A7iii + FE 35 1.8 + FE 85 1.8 + Sigma 24-70 DG DN ART.
I do love the 24mm FL as I did own a Nikon 24mm 1.4G then shooting with it ostly portraits, food, landscapes and cityscapes.
Thank you Jason.
Please compare between the "Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG DN Art for Sony" & the "Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 RXD Lens for Sony E". Thank you very much
So now with Sigma 28-70 out - which one would you pick?
I just went on a 10 day trip and brought my normal lenses (12,24,35,85 & 70-200 f4). At the end of the trip, I wished I had the Sigma 24-70 zoom instead of the primes. So yes, I hope to get before my next trip.
And to those who wonder why I don't have the Tamron 28-75....had it and didn't like it.
Great review Jason, how did this thing do in low light? Anyone else have some takes on this? cheers
I already have the Tamron 28-75 and I love it. Probably would have got this one if they came out at the same time though. However now I’m just waiting on that sigma 70-200 and 70-180 from Tamron to see which one of those I should get.
How’s the AF for video in low light conditions? Is it as reliable a the Sony GM 24-70mm?
Jason you’re going to end up costing me money... 😂😂😂 also do they have a $16-35 coming out?
If im not wrong they already have a 18-35 f1.8
a $16-35 lens would be a mad bargain
I need help with this setup if anyone's reading!
I bought this exact setup and want to film videos, but I'm finding that it doesn't behave as well as in your footage. Half the time it is quite slow to focus (sometimes it just sits there and doesn't), notably when transitioning between near and far. If I depress the shutter button halfway, it will usually focus on whatever it's front of it. But then why isn't it doing that automatically without needing the button? I need it to work without touching the button, because I want to use it on a Movi gimbal, so I can't be reaching in there and pressing the button to fix these issues during shots.
24-70 mm is very versality👍👍... i use the Sony 24-70 GM Lens and i‘m happy with this lens. Today i‘ve bought the Sigma 14-24 Wideangle Lens and i‘m so curious about the Results 😀
Yo Jason, great video! How were you able to zoom when the camera is on the gimbal? Doesn't that redistribute the weight which would make you need to rebalance the gimbal?
Which lens would you recommend for casual lens, vlogging, walk around?
tamron 17-28
Do you find yourself using the tamron or sigma more these day?
I would love to know if there is any difference between the canon
version + mc11 and the native e-mount in terms of focus accuracy
Jason, I'm looking for a lens for a Sony A7Siii. I'm going to use the lens for shooting music videos... if you could only choose 2 lenses, what would be your top 2 choices? I need help. Thank you
How does the new 24-70 gm ii hold up against this?
I'm torn between the Sony 35mm and this Sigma 24-70. I'm an image quality freak but I can only afford one lens this year. If the Sigma quality is very close to Sony then I suppose I will go that way. Super low light is not a big deal for me.
Yes, please do a review of the Peak Design bags/slings
Do you get DUST ISSUE at the front like many using this lens got?
Can I use this lens on a Sony a6500?
Thank you very much for making such a useful video you made me buy this lens Sigma 24-70mmm
Yesss plz review the new Peak Design everyday backpack v2!
I would say that a lot of your gripes are with the 24-70 form factor not this lens in particular. In my opinion that's the type of stuff that doesn't really belong in the middle of the review for this lens (especially if it's lighter/smaller than other 24-70s). You did a good job explaining yourself but I think throwing in those two cents at the end is enough! Great video as always though!
Jason, another good video. I got this lens for the L-mount 😀.
My only question is - why no lens hood?
Dilemma.. to buy the sigma 24-70 or G-master. What are your thoughts?
Is there a autofocus noise? Is the on camera audio useable ? thanks for this review
Jason- Great video! I'm trying to decide between this lens and the sony 24-105 f4 for professional portraits of all types. Most importantly, is the Sigma sharper than the Sony?? I want the versatility of up to 105, but also want the best IQ. Thanks!
I see you using the weebill S with sony. Do you have any connection issues? Do you have some kind of "smothness issues" when you go continuisly to one side. Like making a round focusing one object? I aks because i am having some issues where i dont know if its me or the gimbal. BTW nice video. I am waiting for my sigma 24-70 since 4 weeks. Gave back my sony 24-70 due to the close focus length and otherwise similar features.
I just recently got the samyang 24-70 2.8 and in comparison what would you choose? Please reply
Great video Jason. Love your work. I have the Tamron 28-75 on my A7iii is the Sigma worth changing to? I am a wedding videographer and would look to keep the Tamron as a backup and us the sigma as the main lens. Thanks bud keep up the good work
How do you change the aperture since it doesn't have a ring?
Loving the script!
Your reviews are my fav! Looking for the perfect all around lens for vlogging and photo/video. What would you recommend?
Am I tripping or was there already a 24-70 Sigma Art for Sony E Mount? Was the old lens redesigned or something?
nope. if anything, this has been fully redesigned for mirrorless
Jason Vong ah you know what i was thinking of the prime lenses! i just remembered now
funny thing i found the sigma as the melt bokeh. not contrasty which i like. doesnt distract me.
Thanks, but have you ever used the Sony 24-105mm?
Please review the PD sling 10L v2, and show off how tripods look attached to it. Not one reviewer yet has shown this. I have the v1 and like the tripods strap, but looking to upgrade if its worthwhile.
Jason,
Do you think we will see a 24-70GM mark II?
It seems like the GM is a bit dated (just sold mine) and that the sigma and tamron offers some benefits like being lighter and having close focus.
I mean, Canon released two RF lenses that covers this focal length already. Maybe Sony could release an F2 as well
How’s the AF for video? Is it as fast and reliable as the Sony GM 24-70mm f/2.8 in low light shooting video?
Thank you for your time
Thanks for this vid Jason! Which stabilizer are you using at 0:49 and 11:40?
Hi! Great review! thank you for sharing your knowledge. I wanted to know your opinion about this lens on an a6300 body. Since the 6300 don't have in-body stabilization, Will the image stabilization be an issue?
