FINALLY! Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 for Sony Hands on Preview

[@MannyOrtiz]

Sorry I misspoke. When I said I was shooting 30 FPS on the A1, I meant I was on H+ drive mode but third party lenses are only capable of shooting 15FPS

[@二子喵]

it's supported now😄.

[@ddrnold]

@@二子喵proof?

[@riveraw16]

I started watching you 3 years ago manny. Before I bought my first Sony camera which was the a6300. After 3 years I decided to upgrade to the A9 mark 1. You have been very helpful with your information in all your videos .

[@MagicWeddingPhotographer]

haha the best ending ever! HE IS A HUMAN EVERYBODY!

[@B_dejesus]

that ending was super relatable, the human side to all of this that we all do. Thank you for still putting this out for us Truly appreciate it

[@hr5641]

I love the ending, where you show your human non-perfect side. It helps me and possibly others connect with you Manny the normal person and not the perfect photographer. I hope you decide to incorporate more into your future videos. Great video as always 👏

[@alexphiltcw]

Manny, your sample images are unreal, fantastic!!

[@rickt.8866]

Still rocking the Tamron35-150 f/2-2.8 on my Sony A7R5 & A7IV. Very happy with my results.

[@christiaanbergh5872]

Dude the photos of the dogs sold me (best image samples of this lens I could find) . Thank you Looking to pair it up with my a9ii.

[@LMActionsports]

I picked this lens up in the beginning of summer and it’s my favorite lens. It’s almost identical in sharpness to my 135 GM. The lens hood is my favorite design cuz it stays in place and I did a video showing that it barely covers the zoom ring a 1/4 of an inch. Reviewers were saying it covered almost half of it. This lens isn’t for everyone. The limited 15fps turns most away. But for me I never shoot over 15fps with my A9 for sports. I have used it for over 30 sessions and 4 weddings and I have yet had an out of focus image.

[@ZachMayfield]

Love it dude. Also, when we hoopin???

[@StephanFFDinges]

I never used a 70-200 on a tripod. Whey is the zoom ring at the end of the barrel? I don't get it. But it's a great lens, that's for sure. I think I will buy it.

[@ChrisDangerPants]

Always appreciate your videos. Been using your reviews and advice for years. Thanks manny!

[@Buckeye-ish]

I love that you kept the teleprompter stuff!!

[@loldart]

Arms look large! Manny hitting the gym! NICE!

[@KR-nm6wm]

That’s from extended long distance photography sessions.

[@boniek82]

Got mine yesterday. Cant wait to test it in combat (soccer, motocross, planes) :D

[@Mr_Zimm]

Great lens. But the G masters white is a huge flex.

[@classic.cameras]

Congrats Manny on 700k! Impressive brother.

[@francg.contreras9887]

Thanks for your insights, Manny. Great video!

[@Crazy_Dashcam_Videos]

How does it compare to the Tamron 70-180 G2?

[@scotthayesproductions5715]

Sigma continue to kill it. 14-24, 24-70 and now 70-200. I hope they hurry up with Z mount lenses.

[@notarice8509]

Agree completely. I WANT SIGMA GLASS

[@ItzSlushie]

I shoot with sigmas 35 1.4 and 24-70 2.8 and they are killer. I’m hoping that they come to you guys soon so we all can save money and get fantastic photos

[@scotthayesproductions5715]

i have the 14-24 and 24-70, I love them! I already have the sony 70-200GMII, so I wont be selling it for this one. @@ItzSlushie

[@leonardotonin6201]

Im not seeing this happening, and i agree with you all. 1.4 lenses are missing. Actually im thinking about others brands.

[@mrclean28h]

Awesome I am looking for along range lens will go to 300 if possible

[@AWAShowme]

Thanks for this. I'm still deciding between this and saving more for the Sony. I just don't think I'll ever use the aperture rings on either and don't think the Sony image quality is $1000 better.

[@Shag]

Amazing review my Brotha!!! ✊🏾📸✊🏾

[@kingghidorah8106]

i got this lens and i love it so much, but something that bugs me off so much is that the aperture lens is only 72mm in diameter where the filter bayonet could be either shrunk down to 72mm too, or instead made the aperture lens actually 75mm like that on the very rest of 70-200 OSS lenses therefore improving light transmission.

[@martin9933]

@Manny Are you sure about shooting the Sigma with 30fps? Shouldn´t it be limited to 15fps? Great video though. But I´m actually quite diesapointed by the Sigma. They had said a while ago that they were going to bring an innovative lense in this range, but they obviously opted for the most conservative aproach possible: it´s big, it´s heavy and exactly a 70-200mm 2.8. I would clearly prefer the way lighter Tamron 70-180 mm 2.8 or the way more versatile Tamron 35-150mm 2-2.8 that´s still lighter than the Sigma. Shurely a great lens, but by no means anything innovative.

[@Symptomix]

fyi - you can shoot 30fps in afc mode, but only 15 in afc mode when you use AF-tracking mode.

[@charminbaer2323]

I opted for the Tamron 35-150mm, the only lens i've been using lately. I have the Sony 85mm 1.8, Samyang 35mm 1.4, and Tamron 20mm 2.8. If they ever make a 35-150mm 1.8, that would be the perfect lens for me, i don't care if its a bit heavier.

[@CLVlogs05]

As an apsc camera owner, I just don't understand the " is too heavy" argument. Soon as a I can no longer fit my camera in my pocket I don't care how heavy it is

[@charminbaer2323]

@@CLVlogs05 when I first switched to Sony from a Canon 7D, i got the a6000 to try it out. I bought the then new Sigma 18-35mm 1.8, hefty lens, never had an issue with it, even would shoot one handed sometimes while I held a flash in the other hand.

[@smoke362]

thank you for the Review. very well done.

[@NeoPlatina2009]

Love this video with thebloopers left in. And the review of the lens ofc. I have it already for the L mount, pairing it with a Leica SL3, but still looking at reviews. Don't know why :)))

[@adrianomaiaoficial]

Make a comparison with the old 70-200 GM :)

[@Symptomix]

no :)

[@The_Essential_Light]

The location of the zoom ring and the not easy to remove tripod collar are deal breakers for me.

[@DrSarge37]

Wait you got the full 30 fps with the a1 and the sigma?

[@kayizijoel1167]

Kindly, could you specify the product model for the Sigma Lens Adapter

[@AOEarlobe]

Manny Keeps it real!

[@binaryinfections]

Hope you’re doing fine manny and get some sleep and mental break. Looking forward to your next video

[@EngineFD223]

For the price range... Would you get the Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 or the Sony 70-200 f/4 Macro G OSS II?

[@MRG-Photos3]

I had this lens for two days Kind of regret trading in my 70-200 f4 😢😢 ,, what did you end up choosing?

[@binaryinfections]

Been waiting for a manny video after he went to the Sony creative thing

[@framebyframegames]

The zoom ring at the end is such a boneheaded move.

[@gilcarag274]

why mounting an Arca Swiss plate on a Arca Swiss compatible tripod mount? ☺

[@ron3x]

Been searching for a while already and will use it for filming wedding. I dont mind the weight of sigma as I'll be using it on a tripod most of the time but I need the best focus available and being non parfocal is the deal breaker for me. Another, for photo I really prefer the lightest one available without compromising the quality. Sigma did a great job specially for the price but I'm going with the gm2 for now..

[@sahayaantojoyroshan_rmiyrs1994]

This is anti clockwise zoom? Like Canon's

[@xero18]

They would release one after I already purchased the GMii 🙄. Can't wait to see comparison videos but the GMii is a godsend.

[@thekonvos]

Yeah if it was out before I got my GMii I would have bit but we're in the same boat, we forked out the $$$ on the Sony so let's be happy! 😂🤷🏾 the Sony 70-200GMii I think is a must and then sigma everything else is good

[@xero18]

@thekonvos yeah I was holding out but then I got booked for some fashion shows and was not about to be without a telephoto lens. It's worth it's weight for sure but paying half the cost is always better IMO 😆

[@jcform]

nice alternative lens, but i think is better to choose the sony lens. the sigma lenses have in the past years some problems like getting dust particles inside of the lens.

[@pierrelouisvisuals]

“In the past”

[@mrmonday42]

That won't be an issue on an internal zooming lens like this

[@PlayerToPlayerMod]

I wouldve bought this lens 3 years ago when I was in the market for it. Since then I have sold my 24-70 and picked up the 24-105 and 100-400. I am very happy with my decision.

[@nicedward7544]

If I could start over I'd get that exact setup. Both superb pieces and the 24-105 is so underrated.

[@PlayerToPlayerMod]

@@nicedward7544 The 24-105 stays on my camera 90% of the time. f4 is way more than enough to get exceptional photos in most conditions. Hell I even step down to around f7.2 most of the time. The fact is that most people that buys one of the expensive f2.8 lenses will never get to full potential out of the lens.

[@SebastianWorldwide]

I recently bought the brand new Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 DG DN OS | Sport Sony FE mount, but unfortunately it keeps making relatively audible noises when it is connected to the camera and the camera is on. The noise is comparable to when an external hard drive is connected to a laptop and you click through the files. In other words, like when an external hard drive is running. The noises are similar. If I turn off the image stabilisation switch on the lens, the noise is just the same. Even if I don't press the camera's shutter release button halfway, the noises are audible. They are permanently audible, regardless of whether I am taking photos. Can someone please give me some feedback as to whether this is normal with this lens. I would hate to have bought a defective lens for so much money. Many thanks in advance.

[@mechophile]

@MannyOrtiz , im getting a deal on old sony 70-200 a 200$ less than sigma 70-200. which one to pick. please answer

[@IrishWolf]

This is an instant purchase.

[@Gerald_G]

Thanks for leaving in the unedited clips. 😂

[@simonmaduxx6777]

You should call this video teleprompter Wars lol. That was absolutely hilarious to listen to. I would say it sounds better when you're just pulling up the info from memory because some of those words didn't really sound like Manny was saying it. Anyways do what you got to do keep up the good work and whatever happened to the video with your stuff getting stolen We never saw update from that. Anyways Godspeed

[@livejames9374]

Can this lens actually do 30fps on the A1? Sony didn’t gimp it?

[@the_drvideo]

How is the stabilization on it?

[@johanolsson6502]

Walking zombie asidea, wtf is up with the arca swiss plate on the already arca swiss ready tripod mount??

[@tatekandi4846]

Thank you for this Manny. Look after yourself bro. Understand you gotta work but your health matters too. Walking Zombie Manny is not sustainable so I hope you can get some meaningful rest too. 😴😴😴😴😴

[@iamalisajid]

Can we use TC on it?

[@rnetphoto]

Isn't the A1 limited to 15 fps shooting with 3rd party lenses? The native Sony lens would allow for full 30

[@phjac]

That it is. Also blocks teleconverters, which is a considerable convenience downside for a zoom with this kinda focal range and aperture.

[@catalin-ap]

Finally, they cam up, and it's a good alternative it seems, good in weight, internal zoom, good sharpness, Arca foot. Though the hit-rate, despite the new (finally) linear motor(s) for Sigma, seems to be substantially lower than Sony's. But such a huge fail to have the zoom ring up there, for hand-holdability! Next time they can try using the hood as as zoom ring. :)

[@travelpatron]

Why its a fail?

[@corykphotography]

Now can we get a Z Mount please.

[@limagepicture9023]

Take care of you 🙏🏾👍

[@tqlla]

I was waiting for this lens, but its all backwards. Zoom at the end, counter clockwise rotation, higher price(than I was hoping for)... The test shots look great, but sounds like a pass for me.

[@AlLacey]

I had the old A-Mount version which is also "backwards" but you get used to it very fast. Unless you're constantly flipping between cameras, eventually it'll become second nature and you will forget that it's "backwards"

[@ryantang8146]

The thing with third party lenses now with Sony is that now you don’t completely know whether it has full support and functionality of Sony’s new cameras because now Sony cameras do shoot crazy fps and it will be a shame if it does not support all the features.

[@Pochi1]

All third party lens are limited to 15 fps

[@JohnSmith-li5pj]

All the non sport FF cameras (minus the A1) can't shoot >15 fps

[@Reviews4fun1]

I would have bought this before Tamron came up with decent options.

[@kristofeight9668]

Cons: heavy 1.5kg, zoom ring at the end of the lens, in addition, move rotation opposite direction, restricted to only 15 fps, high price as 3rd party manufacturer, its better spend a bit more and get legendary GM II, i bet AF in GM is far far better

[@RanSilverman]

1.5kg for a 70-200 is heavy? damn..

[@kristofeight9668]

This video was still good, but as you likely know, it wasn't your best work. The best advice I was given is that you should never film a KZbin video tired. Get a little rest, relax, then do it my brother. But hey, love the authenticity and I still want to buy the lens for sure.

Your hit rate of shooting 30fps on A1 is technically 15fps because you can't shoot more than 15fps on third party lenses. For telephoto lenses always go with native lenses.

[@SethKimStudio]

Lol. I knew you were reading. 😂

[@SebastianWorldwide]

A pity that it's not an Art lens. Is it sharper than the new Tamron 70-180 G2 and the Sony 70-200 f/2.8 GM1 and the new Sony 70-200 f/4 G2? It will be less sharp than the new Sony 70-200 f/2.8 GM2, definitely. Why is the zoom ring right at the front? That must be a horror, right? The weight also scares me slightly. It is heavier than the new Sony 70-200mm f/2.8 GM2. Are there any wedding photographers or other people here who shoot for several hours or all day with lenses that are that heavy? Is that really possible? Doesn't it hurt your bones at the end of the day? Thank you very much

[@Captainnick88FX]

It’s practically an art lens. Sigma labels their premium telephoto lenses as Sport instead of Art.

Why oh why Sigma?!! The zoom ring should be Righty tighty, lefty loosey like everything else in the world. The backward zoom ring is so silly, and the placement is horrendous. Great optics, but the UX makes it a definite no-go.
