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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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 ?

[@davidligon6088]

Award for best video ending, ever!

[@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.

[@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

[@ldmndz4652]

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!..

[@razafiarisonmichael4421]

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

[@Reviews4fun1]

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

[@BowlersRant]

Awesome review. Any attempts with video?

[@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

[@BraxChat]

Love the ending! 🎉

[@georgevlsqz]

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

[@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.

[@ABP8214]

Mom always comes through when you least expect it lol

[@Alexwildly]

I already know this lens is about to be ridiculously crisp

[@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.

[@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!

[@larryeber]

Thanks for an honest review.

[@RakNtaK]

I bought it last month for my a7 iii, game changer.

[@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.

[@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?

[@michaelv1394]

So helpful, bless up

[@KillenEMsoftly]

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

[@kiingwolf_x_3046]

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

[@malmedia]

I thing you finally found the outtro you need to do from now on.... just put down whatever's in your hand and walk away, mid thought/sentence. 🤣

[@AA-kj4ic]

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

[@reyjes]

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

How is the video performance ?

[@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

Have it on the A7 IV and it works flawlessly. No af issues at all. Excellent lens!

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!! 🙌

[@gilbertvaladez2646]

I love my sigma for canon lenses. I've got 35mm, 85mm, and 70-200mm

[@Cjay858]

what about for hybrid shooters...how much better will the image stabilization for video be on the GM vs Sigma/Tamron

[@trumpshowtime]

I WANT TO BUY CAMERA WHAT IS YOUR ADVICE NIKON Z9 IS BETTER OR SONY A7RV FOR STREET PHOTOGRAPHY AND PORTRAIT?

[@mchwmedia]

Get the Sony and use the extra moment on amazing lenses. I'm a little biased but I think the huge size of the Z9 alone is already a turn-off.

[@MariusXMelisa]

But for video or vlogging?

[@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.

[@DrWasim]

Tell mom we said hi ❤

[@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

[@stkuj]

The original is still awesome!

[@mbismbismb]

Anyway fyi when u showed the lens side by side comparing the size... it is out of focus 😢

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

[@tiagogomes4114]

the question now is, Sigma v2 or GM v1?

I chose the V1 sigma over the GM. The V1 to me was better already, and now the V2 is a tiny bit better than the V1.

[@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.

[@user-nu3yq3jr7m]

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

[@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

[@EXECUTEWEALTH]

[@keithlester4419]

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. I'm nobody and certainly not a doctor, but find time for yourself whenever possible. Thank you.
