I'm loving the Tamron 24-70 G2 with my D850 ✌️

[@peterm2820]

What about the Tamron G1 is the upgrading worth it?

[@JAMESWUERTELE]

Don’t buy the G1, you will be disappointed! G2 is very much better in image quality.

[@crxracer805]

James Wuertele How do u know?

[@benoitgirard7779]

Tamron g2 and d850. Dream setup right there. Good for you man. Congrats

[@wulfjr]

Same here, first lens i picked up with mine. 2nd lens was the Tamron 70-200 G2.

[@smaakjeks]

You helped me decide, CSTV. Going with the Tamron G2. So, I'll be selling my first gen Tamron; My very first SLR lens. Thanks for the great moments, my dear. May your next owner take you to new and exciting places

[@2828play]

I have owned 2 tamron 24-70 VC in the past so I have a little more pull toward the new Tamron VC. Tamron quality control for me has been impressive, picture quality has been impressive and price also so for me the Tamron is the best deal you can get period forget about the money. Don't know to much about the Sigma but It looks good as well. This is all good for DSLR owners so go Tamron and Sigma!

[@scrammity]

@2:35 As a proud Pentaxian, I appreciate Chris incorporating some Pentax into the review :-D Thanks for the videos, guys.

[@smaakjeks]

Heads up: The Tamron G2 is parfocal. That's a huge improvement over the G1 lens for video work. I wonder if the Sigma Art is parfocal or varifocal.

[@jameslarsen9814]

If I get one, definitely going with the Tamron. Looks like a stellar lens. BTW, I so agree with you - I don't know why people aren't really looking into those Tamron primes!! I own the 45mm, it's one heck of a lens! Paired up with my 6D, it makes for a perfect all-day setup. Amazing build, weather sealed, IQ is fantastic, f/1.8 aperture gives you beautiful bokeh, and the VC is AMAZING!!! It's an awesome lens.

[@kylehowdy]

James Larsen I agree. I have the 45mm and it's freaking awesome!

[@Caracalaba]

There's a bokeh crazyness trend nowadays imho, some people hear 1.4 and it's all they want. So sigma is dominating there. They are great lenses but I much prefer the built quality, size, IQ VC and overall concept of the Tamrons.

[@maluczczi]

Hi Comparison between 24-70 2.8 old tamron and new G2 verion would be great

[@zeliglui6656]

You read my mine as I was looking for Tamron review. Thanks TCSTV

[@MrChomiq]

This episode should be dedicated to the memory of Chris' backpack.

[@TheCameraStoreTV]

Thank you Piotr. Roots was nice enough to sympathize with my plight and sent me another one! Chris @ TCSTV

[@AdventureMuse]

I just order the Tamron!!! for the Nikon D850... both on back order. Looking forward to receiving them both.

[@stephanweiskorn6760]

Excellent video 😮!

[@saturnuria1217]

I have four Sigma Art primes and they're incredible. In each case, I very carefully considered the Canon alternatives but opted for the Sigmas. I also wanted a nice 24-70 f/2.8 'walkaround' lens and discounted the Canon straight away simply because it's a lot more expensive and has no stabilisation. There aren't too many of these comparisons out yet, but from what I can tell, the Tamron does tend to come out on top. Mine arrived yesterday and I have to agree with the conclusions in this video - the image quality is fantastic. I've only used it once so far but, needless to say, it is absolutely pin sharp including very good corner sharpness. I'll be doing a full review of it on my channel once I've spent a little bit more time with it.

[@Eric_Rossi]

Great hands on, lucky to get that Sigma, hard to get on our end. For the value and besides a little hunting issues, that Tamron is pretty good

[@chirag4]

yes

[@smaakjeks]

Oh my goodness, how I've been waiting for a proper look at these two.

[@AndreaAudi]

Finally a review about this two new lenses! Both amazing, but I am going to buy the Tamron. It really impressed me!

[@jean-pierrepericaud8224]

Really ? It seems that Sigma is better in corners at 24 f 2,8 . But otherwise, I'm Ok with you.

[@brnrubber303]

At this point, I'm only watching these excellent reviews to hear Chris's, "or some sh*t like that".

[@RodrigoHudson]

I'm really confused about which one to buy. Sigma or Tamron. Could help? it's because?

[@mjhmusik]

The Tamron is great...

[@stevenlui8105]

Great hands on review! I've got the Sigma and it's rather hard to believe its OS outperforms Tamron's VC. I personally feel a little bit let down by Sigma's overall performance especially it's wearing the Art series badge but for the money I couldn't ask for more. As a Nikon shooter I don't think the Nikon counterpart lens is worth the price difference.

[@wallstreetoneil]

Sigma's OS on their 24-105 is incredible so it isn't necessarily an incorrect observation. With the Dustin Abbott review, my guess is that each lens might actually be superior at different shutter speeds. - but on net they are similar. I did have a bad Tamron 45 VC stabilizer and when switched for a new unit it was excellent. On weight, weather sealing and extreme corner sharpness, the Tamron seems to be the slight winner - on micro contrast, the Sigma seems better.

[@blarkdexture8899]

Sigma fART. Sigma sucks Always has always will

[@stevenlui8105]

Paul O'Neil I totally agree with you. I've been very happy with all my Sigma Art and Sports series lenses, and never found Tamron lenses attractive enough to give anyone of them a go.

[@stevenlui8105]

Namn L No I'm happy with all my Sigma lenses even pairing them with my Nikon D850.

[@smaakjeks]

+Namn Is someone a fan of Angry Photographer? Have you ever actually tried an Art lens?

[@N199UA]

Would have loved to hear about and see some stabilized video footage shot with these lenses.

[@legendp2011]

as a video shooter I would pick the sigma, simply because the focus ring goes in the same direction as most cinema lenses, while the tamron goes in the opposite

[@smaakjeks]

+legend The Tamron is parfocal, though. I'm not sure if the Sigma is.

[@legendp2011]

+Smaakjeks K........I owned the tamron 17-50mm (parfocal) and honestly didn't find needing the parfocal use that much. the sigma 17-50mm for example only changes slightly when zooming in and out (and is easy to refocus, although has bad breathing), and you can always just stop the lens down and compensate with iso (atleast you can on the a7sii with it's insane iso). learning the wrong focus direction can really stuff up your manual focusing later on. other than the focus ring I think the tamron is better, but for video work both manual focus and autofocus on the sigma is better

[@smaakjeks]

+legend No, you must use the lens I say, and have my conviction. Those are the rules of the internet.

[@legendp2011]

+Smaakjeks K.........very well, my apologies. I hope you can forgive me for my mistake.............I shall pledge myself to tamron as you say :)

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Here I am!

[@Stmarqua]

Nope

[@hiddenpk1]

Show offs.

[@pmmadeira82]

what's ur settings? haha

[@calvinchann1996]

You resisted the temptation to take the same picture with both lenses under the same lighting conditions. You had two identical bodies, so why make it too easy, right?

[@Pete292323]

He did, when testing bokeh, how close it can focus, CA and also a few other times.

[@Crewonephotography]

I'm sure they did to make their own determinations. We can't possibly see every photo taken during a video review without it getting boring and clunky.

[@gameshoes]

He probably did but, to make the video interesting, they didn't show duplicate images other than when necessary.

[@niccollsvideo]

Yeah we shot quite a few identical frames and then I was like F this I'm tired of shooting the same photo twice so I tried instead to spend some time with each lens. Then my backpack got stolen and I didn't care what lens I was using. Still had fun though! Chris @TCSTV

[@Eyeamsurreal]

I've been struggling on which one to get. Both seem very viable, but I may end up getting the Tamron lens. Thank you very much for this helpful video!

[@HEREONOUTBAILEY]

I really enjoy your channel. The information is clear & very well delivered. Keep up the great work!

[@Ltmlaine]

Thank you for another excellent video! I have been waiting for your review of these two lenses and happy to see that there it is.

[@esotericfilms]

so happy to see this video uploaded, great timing

[@Jackie-dc7qt]

Can't wait for my 35 to arrive! Been a Tammy fan since I bought my 90mm Di VC USD a couple years ago after I bought my first full frame. They've really stepped up their game and so I'm sticking with them. I now have their 90mm and the excellent 15-30. Now waiting for the 35 which the seller won't be sending til next Tuesday since this week is pretty much their version of Thanksgiving.

[@markharris5771]

I use both Tamron and Sigma lenses and I’m more than happy with both companies. My 24-70 is the previous model of the Tamron and I find it an excellent lens, so good I have no intention of up dating it.

[@prashantnz]

Thank you Sir. Appreciated. Tamron G2 it is.

[@ericthestone]

I hope they will start coming out with E mount version.

[@schatzor]

Works good with Sigma mc-11.

[@ericthestone]

Mikael Schatz I am pretty much done with adaptive lens and switching to all native lineup for my A7Rii. Adapter works good but still not great! It will be nice to see companies like Tamron and Sigma start making e mount lens!

[@FoodFighter46]

ericthestone Sigma will release e mounts soon!

[@JoonJoseph]

Oooo that GH5 walking shot. Also always love it when Chris lets loose and lets a few f***s fly away.

[@hermansurkis9229]

For what's worth which ain't much, I have the Tamron on order from you guys. If people research these 2, they will find them so close that it is a difficult choice. It becomes a matter of where the +++ are something you need. What rarely gets mentioned in any of these reviews is that Tamron has the best (at the moment) customer service reputation out there. That to me given all things being almost equal, is the tipping point. Nobody seems to think that customer service is important, especially some manufacturers. I suppose in a culture where $3000 cameras and $2000 lenses are considered disposable that might be fair. Tamron found a niche and they are killing in it. Poor customer service has kept me away from stuff, and company's.

[@paulhills1967]

I have the original Tamron 24-70 and it's a brilliant lens for the money. Much cheaper than the G2 and very similar performance (apart from the quality of bokeh) which is not an issue for me). The build quality of the 1st gen lens is absolutely fine too.

[@FPVwineUK]

Just bought the G1, glad to hear this.

[@SergSpace]

That happiness will end with Canon 5d Mark IV. Tamron 24-70 f2.8 (007 or G1) is good with 5D Mark III, but Mark IV can't correctly focus with Tamron 007 (G1) version. Maybe up to 55mm Zoom, then you'll have a problem with constabtly missing focus. This is known issue for that version. Tamron tap in console won't work with older version like G1, so no updates for this thing. Same goes for Older version of Tamron 70-200, f/2.8 (G1). Great lenses, but if you get them you stuck with them and no further, than 5d Mark III.

[@stuartcarden5402]

For me, the Tamron has that little bit of magic about it. Granted I'm not a technical shooter, so I don't know which one is actually better but I feel more love for the Tamron than the Sigma from the shots we saw :-)

[@smaakjeks]

+Prashanth "Correcting for aberrations = more glass = flatter image." I've seen no example of a blinded test where people can tell the difference between a "flat" image and a "deep" image. Feel free to provide a case of that happening :-)

[@eric00214]

Corner sharpness will not matter when using this lens, or any full frame lens, on a crop sensor camera like a Nikon D500 where the sensor uses the center of the lens and leaves out the corner areas. You get a new equivalent focal range of 36-105mm (on a Nikon APS-c 1.5 crop) but you will be using the absolute sharpest area of the glass (the center) and therefor should be pretty sharp edge to edge. This is why I only use FX (full frame) lenses on my DX (crop sensor) cameras like my D500, better image quality edge to edge.

[@KennethWuAU]

I was blessed with a good copy of the original G1 Tamron lens. The biggest down side was AF accuracy out of the box. AFMA allowed me to fix these issues, I know many photographers who couldn't. I hope that they have fix the AF issues with the G2 like the new 85 mm VC. I was surprised how accurate the 85mm was from Tamron. Let's hope it has the same accuracy.

[@Xyb3rTeCh]

Amazing review and your 4K video quality! Love the fact that you mentioned shooting with the GH5!

[@AgnostosGnostos]

The lens review of The Camera Store are very rare and I wish they were more frequent.

[@1337aznpro]

i have the tamron and i have to say its an amazing lens. sharp, fast and feels solid. the only thing left to find out about i feel like would be the durability

[@thermalgeothermal451]

With an aluminum alloy body I don’t think so

[@lordimages]

getting the Tamron , can;t wait to place the order tonight

[@paulconnors2078]

Just watched this and appreciated your wry humor (yes, US Spelling). This is a great comparative video and very helpful.

[@AndresHernandez-fd1hi]

When you have to pixel-peep your image to find defaults, you know that's an excellent lens lol. They're both outstanding. In my situation, I chose sigma because my local photography store doesn't sell any of Tamron's. In conclusion, your tests in low light is an excellent way to verify a lens performance. Very good review, sir!

[@paulpaule]

4:43 to 5:37 Pretty awesome walking shot 👌🏼

[@xodius80]

thank god clients wont say hey look onion rings on the bokeh hahahaha

[@biggoofybastard]

It's nice to see Tamron and Sigma pushing each other to do good things. Just got back from a trip to BC, shooting primarily with a sigma 17-50, and 150-600 C. I bought both lenses and a used 7D mkii for around the same price of canon 24-70 F4.0L IS, and 70-200 F4.0L IS. Not saying I wouldn't love to have the L glass though.

[@davidrich1020]

At 9:25 in the video, we are shown a highrise in the distance with the cameras at 70mm @ F11, 1/8th, 2000 ISO. Looking at the two pictures, the one taken with the Sigma is clearer than the other one. If I'm looking at the two lenses for clarity, I would choose the Sigma over the Tamron based upon this picture.

[@KnorpelDelux]

These ain't lab conditions. I would highly recommend not to choose any glas just by comparing a few or in this case ONE shot/s.

[@bitShft]

Were these both AF Fine Tuned? And if so, did you use the usb dock for the Sigma?

[@DGBomber]

Good question

[@MrTacticalinuit]

The tamron has a tap in console so it would only be fair to have the Tamron fine tuned as well...

[@Crewonephotography]

The D850 can automatically fine tune lenses too. So unless there are problems at various focal lengths there wouldn't be much need for either USB solution.

[@MegaMatojo]

....and how is that a camera can automatically fine tune lenses?

[@Crewonephotography]

This says D500, but same process. Came in with the D5 & D500.... nps.nikonimaging.com/technical_solutions/d500_tips/af/auto_af_fine-tuning/

[@seantomlinson3320]

Yay, a review I was hoping for! I'd get the Tamron just because the zoom's the way I'm used to with my Nikon lenses, but I also enjoy the two Tamrons I own. Happy both lenses are so good.

[@pawelecphoto]

Thanks for the review, sold my Canon 24-70mm and looking to replace it - w/o going to the mk2. Was considering the Sigma due to having shot with the 35mm ART and was blown away. The Tamron boasts new tech, but haven't had much experience with them overall. Now the question is: do I save the coin and get the Sigma or go all-in for the Canon mk2 version.

[@cjinreallife3864]

Dang, I know this comment is over 4 years old, but if you see this, what lens did you end up getting?? I have a Canon RP and considering the Tamron if not the Canon EF v2

[@pawelecphoto]

@@cjinreallife3864 after lots of testing, I changed course and ended up going back to the trusty workhorse Canon 24-105mm mk2 lol... go figure. I'm now all-in with mirrorless (R5 and R3) and also all-in on RF glass now. You can't go wrong with either lens option really, but if you're already mirrorless... go for the new RF glass if you can.

[@fsmelo87]

Awesome! This will help me a lot!

[@andrewbschiller]

These both look like great lenses overall, I keep wondering about the Tokina 24-70 f/2.8. Granted, it's not stabilized or weather sealed, but by all indications it is much sharper at f/2.8 than either of these, especially out to the corners. Thoughts on that one?

[@MrBaggy1967]

In these videos Canada always looks so wholesome and Little House On The Pararie'ish,but also quite boring.Have no idea if it is or not.Think Chris and the team do a great job.But yeah compared to London,you can just tell people in Canada look educated.

[@thirdmort]

I visited Calgary a few weeks back (I live in Ann Arbor Michigan) and thought it was a lovely city. One that I could actually see myself living in one day. It really is as nice as this video made it seem. I though it also had plenty of stuff going on (I'm more outdoorsy than city though, so that's just me).

[@_doitright]

i would make sure prior to testing their sharpness they are focus tested on a focus target/finely tuned if need be, as from my experince new lenses can be slightly out.

[@LeePetersen]

Super helpful video. Thanks!

[@Kikotronik]

Excellent and very informative video, great job guys.

[@grahamhgraham]

If only there was a way to objectively use reliability statistics as well. Just like you can find out which car is more or less reliable. It surely must be factored in. So you buy a lens for 40% less than a Canon/Nikon but then spend weeks & dollars getting it calibrated/repaired/replaced. What's that worth?

[@tristanpersaud6735]

We purchased the Tamron a couple months back and we're doing video exclusively. The VC, while good, does give these really jarring jitters when filming in 60 fps. I've seen other reviews where others have experienced the same thing. Can anyone comment on that?

[@AlexandraStarr1974]

Really good reviews!

[@whisperedstories5505]

Thanks for the great video! I just picked up the Nikon D850, would you favor the sigma 24 to 70, versus the 24 to 105 for a better walk around, every day lens? Thanks so much for your time

[@duraiden]

Well this was pretty timely for me. Just bought a full frame Canon body and the widest lens I have for it is 50mm. Think I'm gonna go with the Tamron.

[@davidddmaoqiu]

Great video! May I ask did you find some focusing accuracy issues with the Tamron? I saw some reviews about it, but not sure. Thanks!

[@shang-hsienyang1284]

Too bad for Sigma they've lost to Tamron. If they have instead complemented the 24-35mm f/2.0 with a new 35-70mm f/2.0 I would have chosen the 35-70mm f/2.0 over the Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 in a heartbeat.

[@PeterMKent]

I agree but it would most likely be a 35-50/2 which isn't that useful.

[@legendp2011]

for video shooters the focus direction on the sigma works better

[@crxracer805]

But those onion rings...

[@Gasanwu]

I tried 2 sigma 50mm f1.4 art lenses and both had inconsistent focus issues, ie. On tripod, focusing on the same object single shot drive, using a remote, I would get one shot that's front focusing one shots thats rear focusing and another one really sharp all in random orders. Of course it's more pronounced the wider the aperture. Did you experience af issue with the sigma zoom?

[@tomasjonsson6383]

You always make top reviews and awesome quality in all footage. Top notch, also sound is a blast. Love that. Regarding the 24-70 which is crucial for all pros there are some things I may disagree about. Fact is that VC/VR best is tested on live footage and of course stills. Sigma can not even get close there. Nor Canon, Nikon. On D850 its hard to say but Tamron give Nikon a real fight. Being sharper on many widths starting from f 2,8. Nikon better on some. NO direct comparision but on Canon 5dsr and Canon newest 24-70 almost the same results. They tend to be sharper at different focal lengths. We need to do severe pixelpeep to see it. Real time world. What we called 3rd party is today game changer due to price. I use the Tamron. Its a blast.

[@jukebox54]

Thanks for reviewing the new players in the lens market. Love your videos! Have you considered reviewing Light L16?

[@geoffreybassett6741]

I wish sigma or Tamron would make a 24-70 for Sony E. It's a market that is sorely lacking a competitor!

[@philg6757]

Good reviews Chris.

[@techfeedz2333]

can you sort out my problem of mine. I am confused of buying the lens in company's.Sigma AF 70-300mm F/4-5.6 APO DG Macro Telephoto Zoom Lens for canon 80d and Tamron AF 70-300mm F/4-5.6 Di LD Macro Telephoto Zoom Lens for canon 80d which one would you suggest.And whats the difference?

[@MarianoColombotto]

Which one do you think it could perform better for wedding photography, specially low light conditions?

[@SebastianAngeloPerez]

I tried the Sigma with both the Canon 70D and Canon M50 (too heavy for the m50 though). The speed of the AF was awesome in both cameras. I feel that the Sigma 24-70 is a very reliable lens for videography, Unfortunately I haven't tried the Tamron.

[@jzkng2]

I've noticed a lot of people using the Sigma 18-35 on FF, even on camera's like RED; however it is only usable above 27mm so wouldn't it be a better choice to get the Sigma 24-70 ? The reason I ask is because I am using the a6500 but want to go FF when the A7Riii comes out and want to invest in a new lens.

[@neelenpatten2959]

You seem to handle your lenses without their caps right in the middle of nature...Is this safe?

[@MrFirstdance2000]

Really appreciate the research as well as the practicality of your reviews. Question..which lens serves me best overall...70-200 G2 or the 24-70 G2? I realize that both of these would cover the most of my photography world but, with $ being the concern as to "there can only be one" which one? Thank you in advance Chris...for all your extra mile work!~

[@ductritran8637]

For some peoples Bokeh is more important than a little corner soft then sigma is the choice and IS very helpful on night shot hand held . As much as I like Tamron but these two main reason I pick Sigma .

[@jvalgo3177]

Thanks it was great ...

[@ruff1draft]

Great video and comparison. I like both lenses but u shall purchase the Tamron 24-70 I also want the Tamron 85mm lens. Also how on earth are you managing to get great low light with the Panasonic GH5

[@alainfdg]

How do you think that the Tamron lens will perform for a inside picture of a hockey player in an inside rink with all those differents light possibility?

[@WillHsuAerial]

Great review. And I think I have the same vest.....

[@techgeek2994]

is there any way fixing distortion from tamron shot at 24mm with 5d mark 3 ? there is no profile lens in lightroom

[@RageStudios]

is this lens available on E mount?

[@shreedharhegde8299]

I'm getting Sigma ART. Both seem to produce similar images with some differences those can be ignored. I had Tamron 24-70 older model for few months and Tamron's quality control was not impressive. The major issue was being very soft wide open and it was looking very cheap in hand. Have Sigma ART lenses, no complaints whatsoever. I generally don't bother about minor issues in images like CA.

[@panhaveng6788]

For the prime , i love Art series but when it's come with Fast Zoom lenses , Tamron has always been my first choice :D :D I can not wait to pick The G2

[@SergSpace]

So, Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8 VC (G2) wins over Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 Art OS, but loose to Canon 24-70 f2.8 L (II) in therms of sharpness. Means Sigma art is not worth that high tag price at all. And it's heavy. Thanks for review! People pictures do not look sharp in samples for both lenses, BTW.

[@chukolna]

i have one big problem with the tamron, 70mm 2.8 is so softtt. at this point im not even sure if my lens is no good and i have to return it but is very noticeable. f4 and on is sick tho

[@heritageparkinc]

Nice review!

[@artmaltman]

Does the Tamron have more of a focus breathing problem than Sigma (that is, when at close focus and set at 70mm, what are the defacto focal lengths?).

[@MudvayneS10]

So the most important question: Which one is available for A-mount?

[@LeonNguyen1708]

Just a quick question, I am having Canon 24-70 2.8 version 1 and wondering if the Tamron 24-70 VC G2 is a solid upgrade? I know the Canon version 2 would outperform the G2 but I have no ideas about version 1. Hope to hear your opinion. Thanks :)

[@herbertongubo8186]

nice short review. if you were to buy a 24-70 and the choice is between nikon ed without vr and tamron with g2, what would you go for, the prices are almost similar. please reply. Herbert from Kenya

[@tptrsn]

Jordan, which one of these works better in hand for video in terms of image stabilization and nice focus ring?

[@bellacavachon7510]

Haha. At exactly 3 minutes, I thought that was Martina Navratilova sneaking up behind you, Chris.

[@MrSnjy]

Heyy hii.. I heard that sigma and tamron lenses gives little soft focus(little less sharpness) after 2 3 years is that true??

[@howardkahn717]

why did tamron stop making this 24-70mm f2.8 g2 lens for the Sony E mount?????

[@OllieHstock]

TheCameraStoreTV in your experience, how much difference in picture quality will you get between 2 of the same lens but different mount?

[@JB19504]

Just got the Tamron G2 yesterday.

[@niminum18]

Jeffrey Bank got mine last week, beautiful lens! How’s it been for you?

[@dimitriss.2630]

Hey, nice review! What's the bag you are carrying though? Is it a camera bag?

[@DoomedRace999]

Hello. I had a question for you. Some people are complaining about the focusing of the tamron g2 . Specifically some are complaining that the middle focus point does not focus in the middle. The focus gets shifted a little bit. Are you aware of any such problem? Or did you face any while using your tamron g2 lens ? Waiting eagerly for your reply. Because your response will help me to decide whether I should go for this lens or not.

[@TheCameraStoreTV]

+DoomedRace999 Like most fast zooms, we recommend performing a focus micro-adjust with this lens if you are finding that focus is consistently out with a single point. We had no issues with the Tamron, Focus was consistent right out of the box.

[@MrK67017]

I can't part with my Nikokn 28-70 F2.8 especially now that I got a new SWM in it.

[@howardkahn717]

i would very much interested in seeing review of the SONY Vario-Sonnar T* 24-70mm F2.8 ZA SSM II and the tamron 24-70mm f2.8 G2, mainly because the ssm11 is the only 24-70mmf2.8 made for the sony "A" mount these days....... REPLY

That onion ringing on the Tamron is a deal breaker for me. I would go with the sigma art lens for sure.
