SIGMA 24-70 or SONY 24-105mm // What’s the DIFFERENCE?!

Which one would you pick and with what camera??

[@couch_potato_v1826]

For video 24-105, for stills 24-70, hybrid option 24-105, and I own neither, I went with Tamron 28-75 after testing all three.(a7iii)

[@Ataraxia_Atom]

@@pawelmod3292 very interesting thanks for the reply, I bet it does play nicer with the native lens also, something I hadn't considered. Im definitely a hybrid shooter, might have to consider is as im pretty set to buy the sigma 27-70 in the next month or so and replace my kit lens 24-70

[@coreymach_]

Owned both. Sold the Sony 24-105. Why? because the extra stop in aperture is worth it for me over the extra zoom range. I'm a filmmaker and I shoot a lot indoors in less than ideal lighting. If you're a run and gun filmmaker, then the Sigma 24-70 is the better choice. However, if you are into travel photography or primarily shoot events with decent lighting then the 24-105 is for you. It really depends on your use. Both are built like tanks.

[@M_LittleRivers]

When I bought my A7III I bought a 24-105, sold it, got the Tamron 28-75 to try it out and went back to the Sony 24-105. It's such a good lens for travelling. For me, I like the 24-105 to travel, and I would get the Sigma 24-70 to photograph events (weddings, etc). Great video! I love your channel.

[@gpproductions7607]

I have the 24-105f4 but i want to get the 24-70 to photograph events too, especially ones that don’t have a lot of light or the ones that be outdoors and you stuck at f4 with sucky light

[@Mrthezanax]

@@gpproductions7607 My friend who's getting married in a widowless basement? Besides, Sony handles iso in a perfect way!!!

[@SourPlanet]

If anyone reading happens to have an A7c, go for the 24-105. They're both quite huge on the A7c but the Sigma is just too gargantuan. Both are absurdly sharp on the A7c sensor. The ISO performance means Auto ISO minimum Shutter Speed is totally feasible, which often negates the F2.8 difference in many situations. The extra reach on the Sony is a nice (you hit perfect portrait range at 85/105 and it's a great landscape range), and OSS is a pretty huge bonus (especially for video).

[@MarcelVolker]

Never been unhappy with my Sony 24-105. The extra reach is more useful to me than a 2.8 aperture would be (i have primes for that), and I've never looked at a photo from that lens and thought "oh that needs to be sharper".

[@TeabaggEditing]

How about the macro capability? The Sigma obviously can go way closer but maybe the extra zoom from sony can balance that? I mean right now I only have the kit lens 28-70 3.5-5-6 for the a7III so both would be a huge upgrade but still not sure what to get since the aperture of the kit lens really bothers me.

[@MarcelVolker]

@@TeabaggEditing I don't use the lens for "macro" very often, my feeling is it's about average to better than average. CFD IIANM holds to 105mm so you get a reasonably decent enlargement, but not as good as lenses that are optimised for it.

[@user-kb9uh4ww8d]

I just had to choose between those 2 as my first e-mount lens, and even if the sigma probably is a better lens, I went with the 24-105 sony, because at the end of the day I think is more cheap and practical to me. Cheaper because with the same price you can save money on buying a gimbal, and another lens. Practical for traveling without carrying or switching lenses.

[@Soundwave857]

I sold my Tamron 28-75 2.8 to get the 24-105 F4 OSS and im so happy i did, The lense feels sooooo much better and the OSS and more range is really usefull. Yes its a bit darker but worth it. I was thinking about the sigma 24-70 too but sadly its missing OSS wich is pretty useful for video

[@chrisbrockhurst]

I agree, the OSS is a big deal for the 24-105, kind of makes the lens stand on its own, nothing else available like it

[@Mrthezanax]

I got sigma 24-70 2.8 and tamron 70-180 2.8. I never regreted I bought these two lenses.

[@a.z2972]

Got the 24-105 with my a7siii. Brilliant combo

[@RoamingWanders]

I currently have the A7iii and the 24-105mm as my main standard zoom lens. I like it, the range is great for most of what I do (landscapes, product shots, odd portraits), build quality is good & oss is useful when doing videos. My only complaint is that it's not f2.8. If I did more low light photos or events then I would get the sigma but until then this does just fine on an mostly enthusiast level. Plus I got it second hand for cheap. I would like the sigma but can't justify it when the f4 is fine.

[@chrisbrockhurst]

imagine if they made a F2.8 version? even if it were bigger and heavier it would do so well

[@RoamingWanders]

​@@chrisbrockhurstit would definitely be popular. I bet it would be soo expensive.

[@fotosvond_]

8:15 What you said there is something I have come to accept, too. As soon as you start to throw in any kind of digital stabilization, be it live while recording ("active steady") or digital post-stabilization, these IBIS/OSS stabilizers won't always have a positive impact on your footage, especially if you are moving/walking. For a static shot, it's great, but when you walk, it seems to be better to either just use a faster shutter + digital stabilization or come up with an optical stabilizer in the way that you use a gimbal. As soon as you try to stabilize IBIS/OSS with digital stabilization in post to smooth out walking shakes, this will only result in wobbling artifacts and makes it very hard to fix.

[@michaelscaplis]

The 24-105 is ideal as holiday lens. Pretty happy with mine.

[@dr_squirrel]

Great video and useful comparison. I owned both lenses and I found the Sigma to be better in almost every way, although the Sony is a great lense, too. What I appreciated a lot about the Sigma is the very short minimum focusing distance. For landscape photographers the extra reach may come in handy.

[@kfsdamian3929]

If I'm filming weddings would you be able to tell me where the focusing distance could come in handy? Would it essentially be useful if I'm trying to get detail shots, would I essentially get a more blurred out background?

From a photography perspective I've had no problems with the 24-105. The range covers almost every situation, it's sharp enough, autofocus quick etc. The only thing I wish it had was the extra light of 2.8, but they supposedly have one in the works so I'm keeping some cash stashed away for that!

It is highly improbable they will do one day a 24-105 f2.8 with oss. It would be heavy and would not be good for their other lenses. 9 months later i don’t see anything good. Today the tamron 28-75 g2 seems the best choice with GM quality like lens.the sony 24-105 is too expensive. You can get nearly a 28-75 f2.8 (1199 CAD) g2 and the 70-300 tamron (699 CAD) combined for just a bit more than the 24-105 (1800 CAD). And the 70-300 is fantastic. And if you add also the 17-28 which is one the best lens today, you get 17-300 with three lenses extremely good in their range.

[@nightdonutstudio]

I like 24-70 f2.8. 105mm is not that much closer than 70mm. And if I want a zoom has better zoom range than 24-70, I would go with tarmon 28-200. 24-105 f4 just feel a between lens that I do not know what situation I would pick it. If I need a zoom lens can do daylight and lowlight, I pick up 24-70. If I want a travel lens I would pick 28-200 or maybe the new sigma 28-70. Both more lightweight. If I do daylight only, I usually bring 24-70 and a tele prime like 85mm or 135mm.

Edit, actually I do know why I thought that. I use Lightroom to apply lens correction for my Viltrox 33mm F1.4 Fuji X lens and the Lightroom profile for that only works on Jpeg files for some odd reason. So that's what I'm used to. So I was looking at the edited RAW file output Jpeg file. Not the RAW file. Now I'm looking at the RAW file I can see tons more lens correction profiles and the correct one.

To me it was a very big difference and I think the Sony is definitely what I want for handheld video. Thank you!

Great video! For the autofocus test, it would be nice to have some visual confirmation when the focus is acquired, e.g. check icon in the corner or so. Without it, it's hard to monitor both images at the same time.

Just for colors I'd take the Sony any day. The Sigma lenses always have this magenta tint. I recently tried their new 35mm F2 which I ended up returning because of the color rendition that I didn't like. Unfortunately it seems to be the same with this 24-70.

You don’t know how to use Lightroom?

[@JLStreetDoc]

It’s only two stops of light difference. That can easily be made up with shutter and iso or a combination of. Not the end of the world. Especially with the great low light performance of the new Sony cameras. The bokeh/background blur is achievable at f4, as well as very pleasing and you get more reach. IMO, the Sony is a clear winner.

[@bondgabebond4907]

I was thinking the Sigma is great but it stops at 70mm. I couldn't convince myself to sell the Sony 24-105mm because of that extra reach. Sure f2.8 is nice, but I can do just fine at f4 with OSS and IBIS, where the Sigma has no stabilization. I've taken pictures of people with the Sony lens on my A7R3 and the pictures are extremely sharp. That 35mm will be missed by those who choose the Sigma or Tamron mid-range zooms.

[@jmax9]

The Tamron 28-75 works a charm on the FX6, and the AF performance is astonishing in low light or high- in my experience, even better than the 24-105.

My 24-105 never comes off my A73! Sometimes I wish I had a wider aperture but the OSS and the extra reach come in oh so handy for what I shoot (renting a 24-70 gm that was lacking in these areas actually is what made me decide on the 24-105). And when I want a creamier background I just shoot as tight as I possibly can. Also, for whatever reason the f4 aperture on this lens is better in low light than any other f4 lens I’ve ever used

At 1:30 and 1:34 the AF is clearly better for Sony, but Sigma's image is a little more 'vivid'. Per all, it is more advantageous tu use during day, for snap shots, the Sony lens because the OSS and its reach; for better quality, especially in low light, there are a full of prime lenses to chose from (which are better than Sigma 24-70mm). So the Sony 25-105mm for 'ordinary' snap shots (during day light), and prime lenses for more 'professional' shots.

Hi Chris, I have a Sony A7RIV. I am still thinking to get either of these lens. Does Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 makes more sense since I can go to crop mode and get the same focal length of 105mm (70x1.5) and the aperture of 4.2 (2.8x1.5)?

[@esquebee]

Looking at these 3 years later - I might wait and save up for the sigma mk II version, however the 24-105 might also get an update soon... however, with how affordable both of these used nowadays - sigma at $700-800, sony at $650-700, I might just get one of them currently.

Is it my eyes or am I detecting a slightly warmer cast on the 24-105 in some of the samples? If so, is that because of two different cameras or does one resolve warmer than the other?

[@tvboy123456]

why is the snow so blown out on the sigma at 1:48 is that the lens?

[@bradyr26]

The F/2.8 was too much for outside and he didn't bring an ND filter. He said he tried to compensate with shutter speed

[@tvboy123456]

@@bradyr26 where they not the same shutter speed in both tests? Because the sony looks less blown out. I am genuinely curious if the lens are impacting the look of the scene or if the snow having foot steps changed the exposure.

[@Keyloggs1]

amazing video! Just found it becasue i am looking to upgrade from a6k to a7iii and looking for an equivalent for the tamron 17-70 (which is awesome btw).

[@joelbarto1103]

Why do you suppose the snow looks whiter on the sigma? Was there a different white balance setting?

[@chrisbrockhurst]

lenses can produce slight differences in colour, one of these leans warmer

[@jaymills1720]

The 24-105 looked “green”? Or brown? Settings the same?

[@jespero94]

Real good video! I have the A7C and tamron 28-75 and are looking for one of these lenses. I am pretty sure i will pick the Sigma lens because its sharper and 2,8 aperture! I think one big difference between the tamron and the sigma/sony is the 24mm compared to 28mm. Much better for vlogging! :)

[@akammer1000]

Does the OSS on the sony effect the battery life of the camera? Say with an a7iii?

[@nealwclp]

if we shoot Signa at 70 mm and crop the image to 105...will their be much difference in sharpness n quality

[@MattDelovino]

Great video bud! Keep the content comin!

[@glenngulia5409]

Chris, it looked like the Sigma AF dragged a little behind the Sony. Do you agree?

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

very helpful dude!

[@thisiseric]

Is there a reason for the dramatic difference in colour rendition? The sigma looks way oversaturated (almost like go pro colours making your face too red) but I'm not sure if that is because you are using two different cameras, colour profiles or if it is a difference in the lens. I have the sony 24-105 and want to continue using it for travel and daily carry-around, but was thinking about picking up the sigma 24-70 for my business work which is usually indoors in lower lit conditions.

[@chrisbrockhurst]

a few things, different bodies which means different colours and also one has a warmer tone than the other. I slapped an adjustment layer above everything so its a bit saturated on the camera that wasnt set to neutral (cant remember which)

[@janw1982]

I use Sony 24-70 2.8 gm ii on my fx 3 and i like it.

[@JustDavidMinistries]

With my a7iii, I’m so happy with my Sigma 24-70

[@chrisbrockhurst]

glad to hear it

[@artlovee]

Running the 24-105 on an FX6 for mostly documentaries. Excellent lens, the oss is amazing.

[@chrisbrockhurst]

this is great to hear, what I plan on doing if the FX6 ever arrives in canada.

[@JimmyHuynhdesign]

Really good video man! thanks

[@Piotr_Majchrzak]

Very good comaparison. I think it could be good idea to present each lens always at the same side, You switch them at the end and it was little confusing. There's one more thing: did You use AWB while shoting tests? Sometimes Sigma reveals some warm tint, other times Sony does as well and shows warmer picture. I'm not sure if it's AWB fluctuations or You maybe switched them by mistake, or this tint comes straight from lens...

[@urbanrunoff]

what about weight, i know the sony is lighter but does it make a difference ? i am considereing getting the sony for travel , i own the sigma but wouldn't mind something lighter ;)

[@TomJorman]

Good video, I've been waiting for so long to see that kind of comparison. Thx a lot! Nicely done :) For f4, how high ISO it must be used to have decent exposition in low light situations?

[@Blue172]

Hi Chris, 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

[@Donbros]

Men I wish I have enough money for sigma. Very versatile lens just a bit pricey for budget buyer. Would be cool to have it and then save for something ultrawide... Wish sigma release 16-28mm f2.8 for 1k or something because they are oftenly even though pricey still affordable unlike g master which is like three lens worth price even though having perfect ultrawide variable focal length (16-35, what else you would want for filming indoors?). Then 16-35 would be almost obsolete

[@spencerkm]

does anyone have feedback on the Sony 24-70 2.8? I picked up that one, but curious how it compares as far as sharpness

[@PrimeInChina]

Meh, 24-105 never felt that useful to me. F4 is too slow when you are using 120 slowmo. I've also always felt like 24-70 2.8 was enough. Yet anytime I've wanted to go beyond 70, I'd want to be at 85/135/200. At 85, I'd again, rather be faster with a 1.8, yet at 135-200, you can get plenty of separation with just 2.8. As far as OSS, I've always felt the same, if you need long walking shots, you will just need a gimbal or Steadicam. If you are using 120 slowmo then you don't need OSS for panning/tilting and things as long as you've learned how to hold and move your body.

[@chrisbrockhurst]

Bingo, lots of good points there.

[@DrWasim]

For 120 slowmo, F2.8 also feels too slow. I’d go for primes for that.

[@PrimeInChina]

@@DrWasim maybe at that point it depends on body. I’m using a7s3. A lot of times I’ll stop down a 1.4 anyways.

[@BryanEsler]

Feel like this is a really weird comparison. IMO it makes more sense to compare the 24-105 with the Tamron 28-200.

[@chrisbrockhurst]

Tamron 28-200 is a variable aperture lens. As you zoom in your aperture changes. Neither of these lenses do that. 28 is also not wide enough for a lot of uses

[@BryanEsler]

@@chrisbrockhurst I get what you’re saying. But I think if the 24-105 as an all purpose lens, just like I do the 28-200. The 24-70, for me, isn’t an all purpose lens. It’s a low light powerhouse, great for things like events.

[@مهدیترابی-س8د]

Hi, is the Sony 24 to 105 full-frame lens suitable for making short films? Prime lenses cost a lot, the camera I got is Sony Alpha a7iii, please help, thank you. I am your addressee from Iran

[@ronnoco]

It’s funny that you made this video as I’m considering to sell my tamron 28-75 f2.8 to buy the Sony 24-105. I do a fair bit of motocross filming and think it’s the perfect focal length for out on track. I shoot everything in manual focus and usually at f4 or higher anyway. So yea I reckon I’m gonna pull the trigger on the 24-105!

[@lindamcd4495]

Great informative video and just what I was looking for so I’ve now subscribed to your channel. 👍 Just venturing into full frame cameras and got an a7iii and thinking about a new lens. Going for the Sony for that extra bit reach. Thanks again for the info.

[@chrisbrockhurst]

Welcome aboard!

[@MattCookOregon]

What about the sigma contemporary?

[@Joey.Alford]

I wish you would’ve made this when I was making this decision back in the summer 😞
