Sigma 24-70 F2.8 II First Impressions (from someone who owns the Sony 24-70 F2.8 GM)

[@SpressoMan]

This review (especially the ending) was SO fantastic. I understand 100% how you feel about it and how I should feel about it. Well done, sir.

[@ChipDizard]

Good video, I'm already sold on it. So I had the Sony 24-70 version 1 and I was holding off on version 2 but now I'm going to Sigma!

[@DMRCapitalHill]

Good choice

[@caquoxxouqac]

Mom always saves the day🙌🏼

[@ogonzilla]

Best ending ever. ❤

[@Wolf_1775]

I appreciate the straightforward blunt honesty. That's worth a sub and a like.

[@LuigiL75]

Oh what I wouldn’t give for an INTERNALLY focusing 24-70mm F/2.8 lens…Great upload as always! 🙌🏾

[@nickreid5939]

Dslr.....😂

[@jessemartinez2606]

What would you give ?

[@LMNDZ513]

Sigma has really been stepping up their lens game for sure these recent years!..as a Sony shooter..I now look to them as an "alternative" to native Sony glass...Since Sony is not giving us an 85 1.2 GM anytime soon I hope Sigma does and update! or I know Viltrox will have an 85 1.2 for sure way before Sony does!..haha come on Sony where is the 85 1.4 II GM already!..

[@sooo0kie]

I have Tamron 28-75 and bought this Sigma lens when I was released. I have to say, the picture quality is unexpectedly good and the extra focal length on wide is attractive. It's quite heavy but I'll travel with this lens soon so I'll see how it goes.

[@louismaat4235]

What s different between tamron and sigma with one is best...

[@tqlla]

I know its heavier, but its nice that its the exact same length as the GMII.

[@paiman_]

Only 40g heavier than GM II. Not that noticeable.

[@bluezikylez9743]

who care? budget vs expensive? eh

Best end of a lens review video. Ever. Like your way of thinking, attitude and input, thanks from Cologne!

[@Reviews4fun1]

Wait… you don’t use 24, 28, 35, 50, or 70mm focal lengths that often? 🤔

Awesome review. Any attempts with video?

Love the ending! 🎉

this video was well orchestrated and the ending gave me depth sensation. nice quick video getting straight to it thx

[@razafiarisonmichael4421]

I have the Sigma 28-70 and I love every bit of it.

[@KevinG-159]

Thanks Manny! Your review, after many reviews of this lens, encouraged me to take the next step. I'm a little concerned with the size despite it being a little smaller than previous, but, it will stay on this camera. I have an A7 IV coming in the mail with no lens included or at home.... I will now! Thank you for your honesty!! P.S. I can see adding 1 prime so that will be the next challenge.

[@KillenEMsoftly]

Crazy, I was just thinking about this lens. Thinking about getting one.

[@ciomio3703]

tomorrow i will shoot a yoga event with this setup plus 105mm 1.4 sigma the holy bokeh. wish me luck guys.

[@RahoulVed]

How did it go?

[@ciomio3703]

@@RahoulVed I realized that peole more happy when you shoot lower f stops. so 105 mm 1.4 saved my day. and i failed a bit when all the crew pose me smiling and waiting for me to shoot, that was nervious in a dark dark open air..but after all we did the job.

[@armanihasanmarie2219]

Great review! You wouldnt have an opinion on the sigma II vs the Canon II? I know you dont use Canon but no one has reviewed the new version of sigma to the version 2 of canon.

[@jbmedia8882]

I have the Sigma 28-70. It’s sooo light if you don’t mind 28 instead of 24mm.

[@bluezikylez9743]

better tamron 28-75 g2 than it

[@Mowikan]

We live in peak times when it comes to hardware. The question is not about the quality of hardware but what camera/lens combination fits me best.

[@Alexwildly]

I already know this lens is about to be ridiculously crisp

[@reyjes]

I love your reviews. Short and sweet. And you're right that pixel peeping is overrated.

[@tonyantoine5823]

Why am I focused on the focus breathing when you walked away? I think that at this point, Sigma is a great first or second option for most professionals. The fact that you can’t tell what lens it is speaks volumes.

[@ABP8214]

Mom always comes through when you least expect it lol

[@MariusXMelisa]

[@JasonPierceOfficial]

Great video 🔥🔥🔥

[@johnkaper1129]

Nicely done video as always, great information, I noticed at the beginning of your video, you were using black camera bag. It looked like good bag, that wasn't too big, but could carry a lot. what is the name and size of the bag? Thank you!

[@pnwmv]

I love my version 1 24-70mm from Sigma. 😊

[@michaelv1394]

So helpful, bless up

[@DenisObolenski]

Good review, thank you. Only you didn't say anything about its safety and protection from dust and moisture. How does it behave in difficult situations where there is a lot of dust and rain?

[@artmaltman]

Hi Manny. Did you do much testing of eye autofocus? Tony Northrup had a lot of trouble in his eye autofocus test but no one else seems to report this. Thanks!

[@RakNtaK]

No more than other lenses on my a7 iii

[@radrod4828]

[@kevinl8791]

Question for videographers, which one would you choose, Sony 24-105 f4 OSS vs new sigma 24-70 mark 2 f2.8? btw I’m using a Sony zv-e1, thanks!! 🙌

[@veritas932]

the difference between the Sigma and the Sony GMII is in the weight and the cost. If cost is not a big thing, then get the Sony, it's lighter. For a walkabout lens, the weight factor is critical. Especially when hung around the neck.

[@goonsp2986]

Maybe you need to start hitting the gym instead huh

[@machadovitornk]

40grams. You need to go to the gym.

[@AA-kj4ic]

if I already have the SONY 24-70 GM first gen, should I buy the Sigma just for weight reduction?

[@raamizw]

Buying 35mm and 85mm or 24-70, which is better?

[@kiingwolf_x_3046]

Saw that the homie Manny dropped a video and had to click on the link 🫡

[@rubenramirez8241]

Compared to the original Sony 24-70 GM how much better is this one? I’m looking to buy a 24-70 and found the original 24-70 GM at the same price as the New Sigma 24-70. Which one would you recommend?

[@yes_senpai8880]

I’d recommend the Sigma. In fact, I’d even recommend the old Sigma over the original GM.

[@thefireguy8564]

Thinking of changing to Sony and having troubles with lenses, But I thought the sigma 24-70 is E mount, yet you have it on a A7 camera which is FE mount(Full frame), Does that now mean you have gone to cropped sensor mode, which is less pixels

[@jeanjuniorjean-louis6442]

The lens is Emount and so is the camera

Can’t decide between this and the 20-70 f4 sony. Ive got the 35-150mm but want something lighter for general/street usage. Any thoughts?

[@bobstevens5202]

F4 is plenty for daytime / lit street photography if that's what you're worried about. If f4 isn't enough f2.8 probably won't be enough for low light. So a prime in supplement would work well.

[@182-media]

Sigma fixed the frame rate now i think and they are equal to Sony on the A1

I appreciate you so much for this review! Sigma isnt going to be happy but dammit I love the truth 😂

[@youuuuuuuuuuutube]

Main issue for me is the 15fps cap. The GM lens can do 120fps and is way more future proof for this reason.

[@digital-love9663]

La diferencia del sigma con el sony es el enfoque, entiendan que sony bloquea a los objetivos sigma con un maximo 15 fotogramas por segundo en fotografia, si usted tiene unca camara que dispara a mas de 50 fotos por segundo tendra que usar lentes nativos, esto jamas lo explican en ningun video, asi es el acuerdo que sony tiene con sigma!

[@MarkusMischek]

I thought you make a living doing these KZbin videos that include product reviews. I mean you check out new products all the time. So of course you don’t say no if Sigma asks you to check out their new lens. 😉

[@TheOneAboveAll_]

They don't pay him for the reviews....and the KZbin split plus taxes on that split, how much do you think he makes

[@StevenChatburn]

Sigma is 99.9% same as the Sony if it was the Tamron then il say there will be a slight difference just my opinion

[@johncarlan]

I stand with Gerald Undone on this. Gear reviews need to change, but that isn't on you as the youtuber, there are just not enough differences in quality these days to make a review in a few days. Need to have time with them to really get the little nuances out of them. There is still need for reviews though.

Hope you are OK. It seems like something happened before you started recording this video. It's ok not to be excited about a lens view, but you seemed especially down and very low energy. You always do an amazing job and provide incredible, valuable, and real world information and samples. You provide the details and add your personal touch to everything you put out.
