SIGMA ART 24-70 vs CANON RF 24-70 - CANON R5

[@julianarredondo5752]

Thanks for this GREAT review man. You just helped me save $1,500. I had ordered the Canon RF lenses, but cancelled it once I saw that the Sigma was practically identical. The Canon might have a tiny advantage in certain focusing scenarios, but it's stuff I would never notice or care about so I cancelled the order and just got the Sigma for $1,099 vs $2,600 for the RF.

[@Vincetagram]

yeah I'll be honest the onyl differences I noticed from this video were that the sigma was letting in less light(assuming settings were identical), and the focusing took a bit longer but not $1500 less light and extra focus time

[@debanjan9813]

thanks for the review man really appreciated, none of the youtuber uploaded that much detailed review.

[@Josh_Sattin]

You're very welcome. Thanks for watching!

[@henrikbengtsson3566]

Thanks for that. Just out of curiousity, were you using the same WB for both lenses? I know most Sigmas are generally warmer than Canon glass but I didn't expect the huge difference seen at 04:30 where the Sigma has way more punch and "glow" in the skintones. If that is good or bad is personal I guess. But here I tend to prefer the Sigma fwiw.

[@98JamesNixon]

That image stabilisation in the canon is crazy good, as a video maker that’s probably the biggest selling point for me with the c70

[@nuculabs]

I think I'll just go with the Sigma. I'm not making money from my photography and I've already saved 1k$ by buying EF versions of L lenses instead of RF ones. They work great and you can't really tell the difference. I've read some photography books and even some pros used tamron and sigma lenses on Canon DSLR bodies.

[@drbeardo6960]

True Skill make a PRO Photographer, not brands🎉🍻👌

[@TylerEdwards]

I own the sigma and love it. Almost never leaves my camera. Only gripes are the weight of the lens (for some applications) and the barrel extends when zooming.

[@Josh_Sattin]

Good points. I should have talked about the difference in length as you zoom in.

[@argenisperez]

This Video was enlightening to me. Just I migrated from DSLR to entry level Full frame camera Canon R8 and as an enthusiastic photographer I stroger believe it RF canon lense does not justify the cost in comparison with this Sigma. Thank for great video.

[@fotohahne]

Thanks! Great video! Was in the market for a 24-70. Had the Tamron 24-70 G2 but was never satisfied. Too soft and low contrast at the long end. Because i want IS i have to consider between those two lenses. Was able to get a almost new Sigma a few days ago for a good price. Thought i might give it a shop before i empty my pockets for the Canon RF. And i'm really happy so far. I like the images it produces. The lens itself feels great. Much better overall than the Tamron. AF is super fast and accurate. Love it!

[@WarszawskiProforma]

Thank you very much! I found your channel recently and it’s great. Today I was looking for some test of Sigma 24-70 with the R5/R6 and here it is! Great comparison. I consider buying 24-70 but the price of the RF is too big. I will test Sigma by myself but this video helped a lot, thanks!

[@WarszawskiProforma]

@@heyammedah8684 Finally no. I’ve tried Canon EF 24-70 and it was too much front heavy especially for balancing on my Ronin S. Sigma would be even more. I bought RF 24-70 and I’m happy :)

[@AndresArosemena]

The IS in the RF seems to work a lot better than the Sigma. In the sigma video I can see some micro movements than I would like to stabilize after in premiere. The RF one seems "already post stabilized".

[@UnamnnaedAcro]

A slight warp stable on any clip would clean it up. You’d never know!

[@kirkcircus]

I had the canon RF version and it took a very slight knock against a padded chair that actually broke the outer body in that it twisted away from the inner mechanicals and couldn’t be fixed. The RF lenses are not as tough as the EF lenses and nowhere near as strong as the Sigma Art equivalent which is far more robust.

[@edilsonfaberruizrivera7262]

THANKS JOSH , SUPER EASY TO UNDERSTAND AND STRAIGHT TO THE POINT .

[@NaturalGallantBodybuilding]

so with the adapter does the autofocus still work the same on the EF lenses?

[@andrewdoeshair]

I’m 30 seconds in but already this is great. I got the RF version because I wanted to simplify my kit (around R6 and EOS R) but I mainly shoot portraits (sigma 85 and 135 Art, and RF 70-200) and the 24-70 is relegated to KZbin videos and BTS shots mostly- it’s driving me nuts knowing I’ve got so much equity in a lens that I basically use for fun only. Been thinking of selling off the RF and getting sigma’s 24-70 Art or Tamron’s 24-70 G2 then maybe ditching my EOS R for an R5…

[@uldron4879]

Choose R5C instead of R5

[@luismanuelmendoza789]

At 4:46 it looks like the sigma has more exposure even with the same parameters, is that because some clouds, or it is actually brighter??

@@krejn I ended up getting both tamron EF G2 lenses for 24-70 and 70-200. They have been gamechanging, and I get great photos!

[@ryanangelstudio]

Great comparison video! I thought the sigma looked more crunchy (over-sharpening). I thought the character of the bokeh was better on the RF glass. However the Sigma wasn’t bad at all.

[@durrsky1515]

Sigma is not supposed to win this race. But the savings is a win.

[@UnamnnaedAcro]

I agree with the bokeh, but by the time you upload the photo to any social platform, I doubt you’d even notice it

[@bncprado]

Thank you for the comparison, it helped me a lot. I have an RF and I love the lens. But I'm a hobbyist and I'm considering selling my rf and buying a sigma here in the UK. As you said, the used RF goes for 2100 or 2200 and I found a sigma for 800 used. I could invest in other EF lenses with the same money that I have invested in my RF. Have you noticed a more pronounced yellowish tone in the sigma or do you think is just a white balance matter? Thank you once again

[@Josh_Sattin]

Glad the video was helpful. Yeah, you can save quite a bit of money with the Sigma. I didn't notice a color shift between the two lenses. For the tests in this video I had the white balance on the Sunny setting in the R5 and didn't make any color corrections, just exposure adjustments.

[@Miguel_Molina]

one thing on the autofocus noise. the sigma is notably louder than the canon due to canon's USM. However; you didn't hear the sigma in this test because your ambient audio lowered the gain on the internal mic of the camera. If you are in quieter environments, the autogain will increase and the "ticks" of the sigma's AF will become very apparent.

[@clintongoss9276]

the sigma and the rf 28-70 are very very noisy when focusing, especially when in quiet rooms. the 24-70 seems to be pretty quiet

[@classbon]

Thank you for your video! I have a question: I noticed you have the RF 24-70mm f/2.8. Could you share your criteria for choosing this lens over the Sigma 24-70mm?

[@AndresArosemena]

wow you blew my mind with something you said at the beginning, I had no idea the so famous canon 24-70 EF had no IS !!!! I was thinking of saving money not getting the RF and instead getting the canon, but the IS is a deal breaker for me. I should go with the Sigma Art 24-70 then since it has IS (or OS as sigma calls it) and it costs less. It's not as sharp as the canon but I need the IS for video.

[@ST-fl5fy]

Using the adapter does the sigma focus well/fast? Any issues cons of using adapter

[@kylehalim5957]

I'm using R5C with Sigma Art 27-70. No issue with the Canon adapter. Fast focus for me.

[@86won]

hi, Josh! How do you like the image stabilization on the Sigma when you record video? like in movement?

[@AhsanU]

Thanks for the video Josh. Just to clarify, the Sigma Art 24-70 has image stabilisation so I can stabilise my images in low light | my videos with it on my Canon R8? I'm looking to upgrade my kit lens and this Sigma Art 24-70 f/2.8 + an adapter looks so much more appealing price wise than a Canon RF 24-70, but I'd like to retain the stabilisation as I'm starting to enjoy recording more video and learning how to colour grade etc. Cheers!

[@stanleybaldon9700]

Can you compare also the "Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2" with Canon RF 24-70mm F2.8 L IS USM? If possible, with Sigma variant, too. Thanks

[@demiloca]

Fantastic review. Thank you so much. I have longed to buy the Canon after renting it to use with my R6. It was the BEST shoot of my life. BUT the price! If there wasn't a SIGMA that looks SO CLOSE, I'd still have held out for Canon. BUT there is the SIGMA. So I just ordered the Sigma (which is on sale - normally $1299 and right now $1141) and wanted to refresh my memory about why it was so good so I came here and saw the review I'd previously liked :). Sigma was as good or better than the Canon in all cases except Sigma AF was audible (and so is the Sigma 18-35 that I own and LOVE) but not significant. And if I'm micro nitpicking, the IS "could have" a little more nano movements. Canon is double the price so this is an easy Sigma win for me (although I hope they eliminate the motor sound to the Canon level and charge the same).

[@aziizby2573]

would you recommand the sigma 24-70 over the canon 24-70 for a portrait photographer?

[@javireyes2455]

Sigma has more of a contrast image. I personally have the RF 24-70 paired with my C70, but for that price I could have picked up the speed booster and the sigma 24-70 f2.8

How do you like the c70 and the rf 24-70? I’m thinking about using that setup for some of our work.

[@Josh_Sattin]

Not sure if you are asking me or Unconventional Media, but I’ll chime in. I haven’t shot that combination very much, but it works great. It just isn’t a focal length that works for me with the crop factor. It’s a 35-105 (ish). I like to be able to get wider than 35 on a medium zoom.

[@javireyes2455]

@@TimothyGordon My main type of work is filming weddings so the RF 24-70 F2.8 becomes more like a 36-112mm on the super 35 and the aperture is more like a F4. I love this lens it's my go to lens for just about any project. The autofocus works great and the control ring on it is very useful. I love the build quality and the optical stabilization works great! I've recently picked up the 0.71x adapter the EF 50mm F1.8 to use for interviews and get that extra stop of light. I'll use this combo during receptions where the lighting gets low and I don't need to zoom in and out as much.

canon have really dropped the ball on the RF system. They were behind the mirrorless curve against sony, and also prevented third party manufacturing. Unfortunately, people have realised just how capable old ef lenses and tamron and sigma lenses are with the R bodies, that their prices are still staying up. I mean even 3-4 yr old 24-70's don't go for anything less that 700$ on ebay

[@charlesnetzler2262]

Would you recommend the sigma art 24-70 over the canon Ef 2.8? When using the R5 body. It seems like the sigma keeps up with the RF version so must be better than the EF?

[@Josh_Sattin]

Oh man. That's a tough decision. It depends on what you are using it for and what your other lenses are. If you are doing video and need the IS, then maybe the Sigma over the EF 2.8 II and it's cheaper. Nowadays you can get a pretty cheap used copy of the EF 2.8 II though. I think it really comes down to personal preference, they have slightly different character. I personally prefer the Canon lenses a bit. If you are doing video and might be doing two camera shoots, then having lenses from the same family is helpful for matching footage. Hope that helps!

There is one BIG difference with RF vs Sigma EF versions - canon lens is much LESS shaky since the combination of lens And ibis work together. You get this (hand)+ icon shown. Meanwhile with sigma you have NO „+” sign, meaning stabilisation of lens And IBIS do not work in pair. Adding the adapter to EF gives additional weigth to sigma which is quite significant at the end.

I found the Sigma very front heavy on the adaptor. Edit: also, the focus ring went twice on the Sigma in the time I had it and i had to send it in for repair. I found it to be very poor for manual focus.

Thank you

You're welcome. Thanks for watching!

Simply splendid. Thank you.

Enjoyed the review, thanks. I do disagree about the stabilization though. The Canon is stable with nice organic adjustments. The Sigma is also pretty stable, but making really ugly micro-adjustments (jitters basically). It's a very digital look and I doubt whether Warp Stabiliser is going to like it very much. That section really sold me on the Canon RF to be honest.

[@shotbro8521]

have to agree there the canon is much much smoother

[@MossWRP]

Your video helped me a lot.

Nice! Thanks for watching!

I need to add a comment about the sigma I have two sigma’s art 24-70mm f2.8 and another two canon’s which are used with 4 canon rp câmeras One sigma got a focus problem after one year of use. The lens was sent for fix, we paid for a new focus sensor and after changing it, nothing happened. The problem persists, it doesn’t focus. Now my second sigma lens started to give a glimpse of might having the same problem. In my opinion for somebody who use it to shoot 2 to 5k shots in a weekend this lens can’t make it. I don’t think I’m unlucky that two lenses of the same brand and line are getting the same problem.

Can you do another video only about how stabilisation working on this two lenses in different modes?

[@Josh_Sattin]

I don't have the Sigma lens anymore, but the only other mode to try is adding electronic IS on top of the IBIS. It is not possible to just test the IS in the lenses against each other because once you turn IS off in the lens it turns IBIS off in the camera.

[@87skarabeusz]

@@Josh_Sattin I meant how does this lenses works with the ibis? Is there some issues?

[@Ramiroescorial]

Excelent test and comparison. Txs
