Sigma 28-105mm f/2.8 Lens Review: Funky & Flawless

[@daysandwords]

A lot of people are going on about it not being 24... but the fact that they kept this so close in weight to the 24-105 f4 makes it amazing for me. If I need 24 then I'll often want to have a 14-28 on anyway. If they'd made it 24-105 f2.8 it probably would have weighed 500g more and cost $600 more, and then people would complain about that. Unless you're going to go and make your own 14-300 f1.2, then just accept that this is an incredible lens.

[@renelackner3081]

Close weight? The Sony 24-105 F4 is more than 300g lighter. That is the weight of a prime lens (F1.8) you can bring with you if you need a shallower DoF or more lightgathering. I'd take the two lens combo for its versatility over the Sigma. Each to their own. I am not the target for this phenomenal lens, but I don't know who is. It's way to big for a walk around lens and for events its either way to cropped in with its 28mm or too short with its 105mm reach. Only thing I can think of is, that this Sigma is great in studio work.

[@jeffbronson3696]

My new Sigma 2.8 24-70 arrived a few hours ago and I already opened the box! I'm crying! Waaaah! This is very usable focal range, negating even the Sony 70-200 I bought a few months ago. With this I could go from 12-24 (+APSC mode), to 28-105, and then jump right on the 100-400. Eliminating TWO expensive Sony lenses in the process. Damn you Sigma!! ;)

[@StefanGlazer]

There is something to be said about Sigma, I honestly have stuck with them and their art series for years now. I still shoot a 7D Mk II and my "daily driver" 18-300mm F3.5-6.3 MACRO. It always seemed to be minimal with Chromatic Aboration. At 300mm it is by no means the sharpest, but the pricepoint always blew me away for 500 bucks US, I have a wide arrange of work I've done with that lens that I have sold large prints of, and am always stunned how they looked to similar shots with my Canon Primes and Zoom/Telephoto lenses. Now, I will pine as no one makes new EF EF-M mounted lenses (because why would anyone?), but awesome and in-depth as always! I love seeing new offerings like this!

I use the sigma 28mm/1.4 hsm in L mount. It's superb even on larger megapixel sensors, and low cost now. 28mm was favoured in the past as a reportage wide angle and I like its lack of overt distortion. Don't use zooms though.

[@Smoothblue90]

Yes. I have the. 28 mm HSM and 40 mm HSM and love them. I also had a 28 mm as my widest lens back in the film days. I just need something wide enough to take a photo of somebody feet to head.

[@MikeMarrah]

[@benmooreman]

💯 it would be cool for Gerald to do a comparison with the new wave of nonstandard zoom ranges that span wide to tele. I have a 35-150 Tamron. Love it but I always miss having a 24 for tighter spaces.

[@rhalfik]

@@benmooreman It's a big glass,but maybe you ca dual wield 16-35 and 35-150.

[@Donbros]

Imo this is better than 35-150 because you can still kinda work with 28 as walk arouns but 35 is like the last fl you can actually walk with and film everything over that is shaky or moves too fast

[@PetrKlapper]

There's no substitution for 35/2+150/2.8 in one lens with just 28/2.8 WHEN you use the 35-150 in 2+ lens setup (as 'intended', when ultra/wide is needed with both 28 and 35 for a good usual coverage anyway), saving more by not having to carry 70-200 when applicable. The 28-105 is for a different group I think.

[@o.f.ftrack3444]

There's no way that I would get this over the 35-150. It's hard to beat the versatility of the Tamron lens. Getting the Sony 16-35 or the Tamron 17-28 would take care of the wide end if 35mm isn't enough.

[@danielruff5693]

does someone know, why or when he switched back to the "old" setup? Because he tried the "night show" style one a view months back. But I never heard him talk about why. But thanks for the Video! Nice as always

[@david.stachon]

It's an interesting lens, but I'm definitely not running out the door to replace the 24-105 G.

[@fusionmayafilms]

The Linear and none linear focus ring, I understand is when you make a mark for position A and then position B, it will always will focus what you had in those positions doesnt matter if you move the ring fast or slow, at that position you will focus what you intended to focus. The none linear, the position of the ring will always be different and will depend on how fast you move the ring and not the actual position of the focus ring. Linear is important for videographers to plan a shot.

[@CrispyJacketStudios]

6:33 I would usually usually zoom in to max first to get focus then adjust from there on a parfocal lens to give it the best chance of maintaining. Once you set it at 105 then zoomed back out. It was sharp. Out of interest, once you zoomed back in again, was it still sharp again or was it just losing focus somehow on zooming in?

[@verebellus]

[@jonpaulpepen9470]

I hate to suggest adding more work, but I’m curious if the LoCA results change with the focus distance. I don’t know your grid scale but I’m guessing right now the focus distance is consistent with a head shot, but if you had space for a larger grid that was deep enough to set a focus distance consistent with an upper body (or wider) shot that still gets meaningful out of focus areas, it would be interesting to see if that changes the LoCA results

I’d be interested to know people’s thoughts on a 28/105mm f2.8 versus Tamron’s 35/150mm f2-2.8….same length and only .4lbs heavier…but a bit more reach if you are already gonna go the “heavy lens” route.

[@hzubovi1]

Thank You for the review, I hope Sigma and Tamron bring back optical image stabilization to their zoom lenses

[@phoenixvette]

28 should be the new 24 and 24 should be the new maximum wide angle. I always felt 24 felt barrel distorted even with compesation, but 28, 40, 44, 62, 65 and 90 all look extra fancy to me. This is a great lens and Sigma would be wise to make a non-extending cinema version of it to compete with Canon's 24-105 F/2.8 IS L. But for full frame I've always wanted a somewhere around a 35-85 zoom stabilized F/1.8 G-Master lens. if that's possible I think that could OWN the event space. 24-70 and 70-200 feel old school and 12-24, 28-105 and a favorite tele prime sounds like the kit of the future.

[@astrodysseus]

Interesting. I love their 35-150 and was hoping / waiting for a 28-135.. They opted for 28-105, probably for weight consideration. 28-135, I would buy right away, 28-105 seems too much of an incremental value. The parfocalness is a nice feature but may require more work it seems.

[@thebluehotel5215]

It's interesting you compared it to the 24-105 F4 (which I used to have and loved), but didn't mention the Tamron 35-150 f2-2.8. IMO the Sigma is much closer in ambition to the Tamron, not least because it's basically a superzoom with a big aperture. Depending on the type of stuff you shoot and if you're okay with cropping on a higher resolution sensor, maybe the difference between 105 and 150 isn't huge. I will say the handling on the Tamron isn't brilliant, especially on Sony bodies. In any case, we're as spoiled for options as we've ever been. We've come a long way since having the Sony Zeiss 35 1.4 as our only 35mm option!

[@Vantrakter]

Nice review. The sunstars are a definitive plus for a zoom lens, I guess the blades aren't very curved? Straight-ish. How much do you need to stop down in order to get them? And were sunstars the reason Sigma decided to give this lens this aperture setup and if so why are they never doing sunstars again? 10 or 12 straight blades is just perfect and if this Sigma's blades are straightish then I'm not aware of any other similar zoom. These kinds of sunstars can really add to a shot and I normally need to resort to a Loxia or a CV lens to get them.

[@DesoloZantas]

I hope Sigma considers making an APS-C equivalent, like a 17-70mm f/1.8 lens.

[@meyerdigitalfilm]

I see this lens for event photo or videography. The manual focus is a bit of a bummer tbh. Lets see some real life field footage. maybe I change my gold 24-70 f2.8 to this lens because if I need to get wider I have a 16-28 and a 24mm t1.9

[@CartyCantDance]

This is one of the most impressive zoom lenses I have ever seen. That LOCA, Focus Breathing, sharpness, and weight performance is nothing short of miraculous. L Mount has the better version of this lens, Lumix gang hit my up in the replies. I have no issues with 28mm personally, it’s perfectly wide enough. If 28 isn’t wide enough for you either your event space is too small, or you’re just not being creative enough ;)

I was just in the market for a new lens, about to upgrade from my kit lens. Which would be a better fit between the 28-105 and the 24-70 MK II from Sigma? Mostly travel/street photography, with some video, here and there. Not sure if the size or length when extended would be an issue.

[@Okiyah]

Its a lens that need a camera to match (especially for video work). 28mm with the IS crop or any crop becomes really tight. And if you have a camera with 12 800 base ISO, don't really need the stop of light. But If you have a no crop bad iso camera, its the perfect match.

[@EasyTigerCreative]

I think my 35-150 f2-2.8 will work better. It might be slightly heavier but the range on it just works better for me since most wide zoom lenses cover up to 28mm or more! I wish it was smaller then I would've considered it more!

[@ericnaelitz8098]

I was looking at different lens to buy for my work studio setup and I am not too knowledgeable in the realm of cameras/lens, but this one stuck out to me due to its versatility and fairly reasonable price. I know this is an art lens (and as I understand, that means it is meant more so for photography) but I would be utilizing this lens mainly for video. Will this lens work well for videography? We would mainly be filming in our studio with controlled lighting, but sometimes, we are outside filming people moving around/in dark areas filming as well. Right now, we have a Sony A7 iv as our main cam with a Sony FE 28-70mm F3.5-5.6 OSS, so pretty much anything would be an improvement

[@brianbracherphotography]

I will stick with my Sony 24-105 f4. For me the 28mm is not wide enough. I have the Tamron 28-75 2.8 and the extra 4mm at the wide end of the Sony makes a big difference. The Sony also has image stabilisation and is about 2/3rd of the size (665 grams compared to 950g). Yes, it’s not 2.8 but I haven’t missed that at all.

[@johndonaldson5126]

My first reaction when I saw this lens was, "I want one now". But I've reconsidered. I have the Sony 24-70 2.8 but wish it was stabilized. So this new 28-105 comes along but it too is not stabilized. When I'm shooting ballet (usually not well lit and fast action) I need the stabilization. I also have the Sony 24-105 which is stabilized but is an f/4 lens. So to me if I pick up the Sigma 28-105 2.8 all I really gain is 35mm of reach. Not worth it. I suspect Sony will now come out with a 28-105 stabilized but it will be prohibitive in cost.

[@DaCarnival]

This or the Tamron 35-150mm f2-2.8? Which do you choose?

[@philipcolumbus3054]

I think we sometimes get wrapped around the axle on focal length. I started out in film and my kit for years consisted of primes at 28mm, 50mm, and 200mm. To use the lenses at varying distances, you had to use your feet! So, am I worried that our obsession with focal lengths produces comments like, "it's only 28mm at the wide end so it's a trash lens" are a bit hyperbolic. Plus, the probable tradeoff in size and weight probably makes this f2.8 lens usable.

[@ElementaryWatson-123]

I'm often taking nothing but one-two primes with me for a day of shooting. I don't see a goal of taking as many pictures as possible of everything that comes my way, I don't need a wide-range zoom. If I take just a few lovely pictures that would suffice.

[@brianbeattyphotography]

These long 2.8 zooms coming out recently are really pushing things in a cool direction

[@g_lantos]

I own the Tamron 35-150 f2-2.8 but that lens is 1150 grams... little heavy, I am gonna wait if Tamron actually comes out with the 28-180 f2.8 and see how heavy that is going to be, but this sigma 28-105 f2.8 is literally the perfect video lens with its 990 grams. Also without any stabilization in lenses I barely use my Tamron over 100mm, at least not for video work. For photo I think the Tamron is a better choice, because you can travel with 2 lenses a 16-35 and the 35-150 but for video work this Sigma 28-105 would be a one and done. Nice job Sigma!

⚠Please do more AF testing!⚠ I have used both Tamron and Sigma lenses on the newest and best Sony cameras and there are quite a lot of AF caveats to consider. For example using the Tamron 35-150, it cannot hold focus while zooming in or out (a1 or A9iii). And sometimes has quite a hard time requiring focus after an extreme zoom-in / or out. But if you compare it to a G lens, not even a GM, the Sony 24-105 F4, it can hold focus very well, quite comparable to the new 70-200 f2.8 GMii. Also there are differences with tracking in low light situations. These differences are quite important especially while filming, but also while doing photography. So it is worth testing the AF in more scenarios, not just quick "close and far" test.

[@youuuuuuuuuuutube]

Keyword = "usually". Even if only 10% of your shots are at 24mm for ex, or even 27mm. Those are shots that you will never be able to get with the 28-105. However when you need 105 and are limited to 70, you could always crop in and have a decent approximation of 105. Sure you lose a bit of quality but you're getting the shot.

[@baatzy]

Thanks Gerald--I'm super hyped for this lens! As a wedding photographer/videographer using the S5, this lens looks very appealing.

For most of the day, I'm carrying the 24-70 on one camera and the 70-200 on a second body. When shooting, I normally try not to go wider than 35mm, and when doing portraits, I often use my 70-200 at 105-135mm range. Apart from the ceremony, I might be able to have just this one lens on me which would be amazing.

It makes sense that it’s not a 24mm. It would hurt their own 24-70 2.8. It’s why Nikon for example makes a stellar 24-120 but it’s an F4

Might as well just get the Tamron 35-150mm F2 to 2.8 and leave it at 2.8 so you don't have to deal with the variable aperture.

Old Studio? 🧐 or am I going completely mad?
