Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 DG DN Art - I LOVE this lens!! - Sony a7IV

[@PavSZ]

Do you prefer to shoot with primes or zooms?

[@YOUAREMYKIN]

Primes! And although I favor the 50mm I got the Sigma 28-70 DG DN to explore wider focal lengths. Question, I know you love the 7Artisans 50mm F1.05, does your version of this lens have a yellow tint? And if yes, do you find that you can adjust for it well enough without problems in post work?

[@Jaimesebe]

Primes,all the way although I got same combo for the Sony A7IV and have to say it saves me lot of time from changing lenses when I need it.Therefore,very convenient lens,although Tamron is doing well and going an extra mile with price and quality.Good video!!

[@minibuns5397]

Sine quality is number one for my clients I only shoot prime. When I need to “zoom” in I simply move closer to the subject

I bought one year ago the combo (Sony a7iii + Sigma 24-70 art) as my upgrade from Nikon d5600. This lens has taken my photography game way up. Great review as always. 🙏👏

[@PavSZ]

It is still a great combo!! Thank you!

[@mukmin01]

What a coincidence. I also upgraded from my nikon d5600. Idk why but even with prime lens 1.4, the focus on nikon is hands down cant beat sony mirrorless. I sometimes miss focus for an important occasion that made me sold it for sony a7iv. Fuck this, I am upgrading to the most reliable sony mirrorless. Glad someone did it too

[@LMActionsports]

I was going to buy this lens and went to my camera store to buy it but they had the new sigma 28-70 f2.8 DG DN Which one’s cheaper. So I decided to give it a try with full intentions that I was going to return it and buy the 24-70 sigma art lens cuz I thought I was really going to need that extra 4mm. But I was really impressed by how sharp it was, focusing worked flawlessly. So I kept it. And i love how small and compact it is. I have humongous hands 4XL to be exact but and I use a sigma 105 mm F1.4 art lens during a wedding so size don’t bother me or weight. But I really liked how small and compact it was. Regardless of the extra 4 mm I am losing it’s still a sigma in either way you can’t go wrong sigma lenses. Great video is always love the channel

[@PavSZ]

I love 28-70 as well! Thank you for sharing this and thank you for watching!

[@FreeyourFinance]

I moved over from Canon to the Sony A7iii about 4 years ago and have been shooting on primes (18mm/35mm/55mm/85mm/135mm) but I am so tempted to go for this lens! Love the idea of being back shooting a wedding on one camera rather than constantly switching between 2 bodies and changing lenses!

[@PavSZ]

I also came from shooting primes only and I must say that surprise myself with the quality this zoom delivers (comparing it to primes)

[@spuddlefunk]

how is the a7iii treating you? I am a canon shooter. I’m thinking of jumping ship. If I do I’m considering the a7iii or a7iv.

@VatsVisuals did you check Tamron 28-75mm VXD G2 ? What's your view?

[@vatsvisuals7418]

@@tejassl5101 bro, I used the 28-75 with an A7iii very recently, and it’s a great lens for the price. It’s lightweight and I shot with it for an entire day on a trek. I was previously using an 18-55mm in a canon crop body so that was 28.8 mm full frame equivalent on the wider end. Since I have used a 24-70 on a full frame before, the 4mm difference was noticeable for me. The lens is great though, doesn’t miss focus unless in very low light.

[@tejassl5101]

I am struck in such a dilemma , don't know which one to go for , it's my first full frame lens .

[@PavSZ]

Thanks Luca! - it is certainly better and lighter than the Lumix 24-70 in my opinion. 😉

[@alexstanhope2782]

Like you, Pav, I ADORE this lens! Pound for pound, it's got to be the best standard "Pro" zoom I've certainly ever owned (and I've had a few over the years!), and since picking my copy up at the end of 2020, it's had a whole lot of use, and never let me down once. It's a keeper for sure, and I simply can't see the point in spending over double the amount on the G Master equivalent. If you're a Sony shooter, and sitting on the fence about snagging this fine piece (or pieces) of glass, do yourself a favour and pull the trigger immediately. I'll wager you won't be disappointed!

[@PavSZ]

Thanks!! it is an AMAZING lens

[@alexstanhope2782]

@@PavSZ It really is so good! The Tamron did also look pretty tasty for the money, but in the end, 28mm at the wide end was the dealbreaker for me when compared to the Sigma. Also, I really don't mind a bit of weight to my lenses, as it usually means that both optical and build quality are going to be damn excellent! Zero regrets picking up the Sigma, and I doubt I'll be getting rid of it any time soon!

THANKS! it's not my lens - on loan from Sigma! it's their own dust 😉

[@zakariaabed3593]

Im wondering between getting this lens or the sigma 24mm 1.4 art, i care about the sharpness more than the versatility so is the 24 1.4 so sharp comparing it to the 24 70 or not worth it ? if No well it would be nice to get a versatile lens why not.

[@PavSZ]

I don't think that wide aperture is as important when shooting wide, it will obviously help in low light situation but it's not an answer to lack of light. With 24-70 you get the bonus of the zoom and other focal ranges.

[@xFreyelis]

Does this lens with serial 57xx already got the dust issue resolved?

[@PavSZ]

all models with a higher serial umber than that I mention in the video should be fine

[@yoga7788]

Answer don't buy a full frame camera, instead look at Fuji with a F10-24 2.8 this combo weighs less than the Sigma 24-70 lens alone. Also the fuji camera and lens costs half the price of the Sony A73 and Sigma, image quality equally as good . love your video very informative.

[@Freddd95]

What do you think about it having focus by wire and not mechanical focus, when it comes to video? Sometimes that can be a downside for video.

[@PavSZ]

this something to get used to as all current lenses have focus by wire and no hard stops. It is usable. If this is something crucial to how you work and absolutely must have, cine or vintage lenses might be a better choice for video

[@davidc8258]

When I purchased my LUMIX S5, this was lens along with the 45mm f2.8 was my kit when it came to autofocus lenses for the S5. I did two portrait shoots with it but it was too heavy when carrying the S5 with the battery grip. So I returned it and got the 28-70mm f2.7 instead. The optics on both lense are roughly the same with the 28-70mm weighing far less than its 24-70 counterpart. I'm not sure if you've reviewed that lens yet but I'd be curious as to your thoughts about it especially compared to this one.

Even though this video is about the lens, have another question. Have you attempted to shoot long video segments with your a7iv? If so, have u experienced overheating problems like many other youtubers? The overheating issues keep me from being serious about the a7iv? I'm certain that there are many other potential Sony customers who are moving towards The new Panasonic and the new Fuji cameras which have dealt with overheating issues in their recent camera releases. The Sony FX30 had done likewise, however the Sony a7iv and the recent Vlogger Sony ZV-E1 have already become infamous for overheating problems. 😎😎

To round of with a conclusion (and adding too many comments while watching the video), I upgraded from a Canon 200D + Sigma 18-35mm to Canon EOS R + Sigma 24-70mm. It was the perfect transition for me. And having 24mm now compared to 28,8mm (crop censor 18mm x 1,6 = 28,8mm full frame equivalent) is something that I'm noticing as well.

[@johnnytwo-shoes9798]

Great vid. I enjoyed the pictures. I do have a question that I've been wondering for myself with this sigma 24-70 vs the tamron 35-150 2-2.8. I have a bunch of small primes. I already have the Sigma 24-70 DG dn 2.8 with my Trinity zooms completed with Tamron 17-28 2.8 and Tamron 70-180. The question is, in a 2 zoom lens kit which would require less lens swapping for you? A) 17-28 + 35-150 with the 35-150 being on most of the time or B) 24-70 + 70-180 with the 24-70 being on most of the time? Option A would mean 35 is wide enough and you would rather reach beyond 70mm zoom than on the wider end. Option B would mean you prefer the wider end of 24-70 and don't need the reach of the 150mm with 70mm being telephoto enough. ??? Asking for your experiences =) EXPLANATION - I'm thinking about the tamron 35-150 to minimise lens changes and I don't know if I'd miss the 24mm end of the sigma 24-70 and keep swapping across the with the 17-28 to get the wider angle than 35mm if I get the tamron 35-150. 24mm is usually wide enough and I'd take 70-180 as a second or the 105mm macro. If I get the 35-150 I may be able to get away with a 1 lens kit eliminating the need to carry the 70-180 but don't know if I'd need a 2 lens kit constantly swapping it for the 17-28 for the wider end. I use the 24mm of the 24-70 more because it's there and not because I specifically need 24mm. With the Tammy 17-28 I'll use the 28mm and 17mm more than 24mm so I gravitate to the available extremes and adjust from there. I have a sigma 35mm f2 but it doesn't help with knowing if I want wider because I just move around with primes and always want more or less but deal with the fixed FL reluctant to change so I shoot differently. So my experience and looking at my frequency of favoured shot doesn't help me decide if 35mm is wide enough. All I know is I have enjoyed using a film super zoom 28-300mm (@200mm ish) to take isolated distant shots of a falling leaf in the city that wasn't sharp at all because the lens was average but the moment and composition was nice but I had the 28mm end too which I shot a lot at and it is very much in wide angle territory and is step (not an official term obvs) wider than 35mm which is wide angle but borders the normal view. So what would you prefer the wide end of 24mm from a 24-70 or the long end of the 35-150mm?? Thanks in advance

[@PavSZ]

my honest opinion is that you'll always miss what you don't have. These are all great lenses but even if never shoot at 24mm, you will wish that you had wider lens when you only can go to 35.

only you can decide - I do own 24-105 and it is an amazing lens. Tamron and Sigma are in a different class and also more suitable for portrait work. 85mm might be sometimes too tight for street photography

@@PavSZ Okay thanks, I will buy the Sony 24-105 for the more versital focal length. Thanks for the Review and Suggestion!

Other than the weight, dust issues, some reported focusing issues ( fixed with the available console ) and the FIDDLY lens caps, Sigma makes a great product. Their lens cases they ship with are a great touch, and as Pav notes in his excellent video, they stand behind their stuff! I believe they are a ‘Family owned/run company, and strive for excellence. You will have your Sigma fans, and your Tamron fans. I believe if someone is shooting Nikon, they will be better served with Tamron. Sony, (bleh) or Canon, I’d go with Sigma. Your videos are a treat Pav. We need more shots of those beautiful models! Juss sayin! ☺️😉 Your shots included here are really nice. That new A74 looks to be a solid camera! I still don’t like Sony! No offense, and this coming from a former Huge Sony Fan Boy. Happy Shooting and please stay Safe and Healthy! 👍👍👍✌🏻😄📷
