The original Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG DN was a great lens for the price when it was released, but it has since been outperformed by some premium options. Now we have the 24-70mm f/2.8 DG DN Art II, which maintains the low price but offers enormously improved performance. Does it have what it takes to dethrone the mighty Sony 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II? We met up with Shawn Wagar and Raymond Knight of Verra Creative to find out which one is the best buy.

Thanks for yet another very informative product info! As an owner of the first version I was hoping for more direct comparisons between the two Sigma generations as to how much or how little the advancements are. Given Sigma’s history, newer typically means better. Let’s say I had to replace my lens right this moment due to loss or damage, do I confidently jump on V2 or would the advancements be so minor that getting a reduced price V1 might be the better deal, let alone a used one in excellent condition? Or is there maybe something so incredibly much better with the new version that I should be thinking about upgrading as soon as possible?

its great that this is naturally focus breathing corrected. the sony gmaster incurs a crop with the breathing compensation correction feature which annoyingly is only available for specific expensive gmaster lenses. great job sigma. This will be arguably better for l-mount where the lens will not be restricted below 15fps because it’s not a first party lens too. I wish sony would remove that artificial limitation for the a1 and a9iii with third party lenses.

I really love the content you guys put out. Super informative and entertaining. One thing bothers me a little: the *change of loca test subjects* from review to review. Other people have reported very strong loca on this lens. I really think you should ommit the test if you dont want to use a standardized method. Everything else can potentially be very misleading - and there is some evidence that it actually misleads in this case. I think you should repeat with a different test subject and correct the review if the outcome changes. Just a nitpick for otherwise stellar content.

They are very similar in size, and would be almost the same size on the shorter flange Nikon Z mount, so if you think the Nikon Z 24-70mm f/2.8 is huge then you won't be happy with this Sigma either.

@@Bayonet1809 It is slightly smaller and lighter at least, and considering I had two of the Nikon lens that both had a faulty focus ring, hopefully better built too. The main difference from what I can see is that the Sigma is a narrower diameter for most of the barrel, extending wider for the front element, but the Nikon is consistently wide throughout the length. I'd be curious to compare them side-by-side though!

Now that we finally get focus breathing comp on the a7SIII and the A1, I'm going to have to stick with the Sony 24-70 GM II. Between that and losing the option to shoot any faster than 15fps on my A1 the lower cost just doesn't do enough for me. I do think the Sigma is a fantastic lens and if you are on a tighter budget is a great option though!

800$ cheaper and optically both are more than good enough with each having flaws that are minor the Pana feels a lot more substantial though… and with that I mean heavier and longer… both are excellent lenses but I can’t find a reason that would justify spending 800$ more on the pana
