@shahrukh5022 ай бұрын
I agree! Something is off. pictures from Sigma 2470 M1 clearly lack definition here and are soft, which I find absurd because he also used a tripod. My Sony SEL2870 kit lens performs better at F8 than Sigma 2470 M1 shown here under low light :'D I previously owned Sigma 2470 M1 and tested it in the night to photograph roads and cars. at 100% zoom and lower light levels than this one (4s shutter speed) I could read the parked cars number plates without softness. P.S: I returned my initially bought Sigma 2470 M1 because it was simply expensive 2 years. Now I bought it again on discount because I simply loved it back then.

I only have sigma primes. But they are APSC and I shoot full frame now and although my 16 mm and my 30 are 1.4 apertures I can’t take advantage of the 61mm that my Sony A7r4. I can now sell those the other two lenses. I almost got the Tamron 28-75 and it even was cheaper. But I know Sigmas quality, but I also know that 4 mm can make a difference. I just ordered the Mark II today. I’m very excited.

when you have a dead battery in a manual car you sit inside and let it roll in second gear which essentially push-starts it! this happened to me one time in a remote location and I was alone so I had to push my car as fast as I could then I hopped in and clutched kicked and it started! 1. Turn the ignition to ON and leave it there. At no point during this process should you turn it to START 2. Shift to 2nd gear but don't release the clutch 3. Release brakes 4. Commence rolling down an incline, OR have a friend start pushing the car 5. At about 6mph or 10km/h, drop the clutch. No accelerator is necessary 6. If it worked the engine will now be running and the car will continue along at an idle. You can safely clutch in and apply the brakes now. If the car shuddered and did not quite start, repeat the steps but reach a higher speed before dropping the clutch

Its release is greatly undermined by Tamron dropping 28-75/2.8 G2 price to $699 and Sigma themselves dropping the price of the original version to $899. The new lens retails $1199, i.e. $500 more than Tamron and $300 more than the previous version. Both Tamron and old Sigma are equally good optically as the new one, so whether the minor differences of version 2 are worth the extra money is debatable.
