Das Sigma 24-70 mm f/2.8 hat mich komplett begeistert. Ich hatte schon mehrere Sigma-Objektive, aber dieses spielt in einer eigenen Liga. Die Verarbeitung ist auf einem Niveau, das sich problemlos mit Sony messen kann – gerade wenn man den Preisunterschied kennt, fällt die Wahl eindeutig zugunsten von Sigma aus. Besonders beeindruckt hat mich die Gegenlichtblende mit ihrer metallischen Nase zur Arretierung – hier wurde selbst bei den Details nicht gespart. Der Blendenring fühlt sich hochwertig an und macht die Bedienung richtig angenehm. Die Bildqualität ist durchweg beeindruckend, mit absolut scharfen Ergebnissen. Ein kleiner Kritikpunkt ist der Verriegelungsmechanismus des Zooms. Die Idee, die Verriegelung durch das Zoomen zu lösen, ist zwar praktisch, aber sie hält dadurch nur bedingt. Das ist wirklich Meckern auf hohem Niveau, denn insgesamt ist das Objektiv hervorragend. Ich würde es mir jederzeit wieder kaufen und kann es nur empfehlen – ein echter Profi-Allrounder! Wie es sich bei schlechtem Wetter schlägt, konnte ich noch nicht testen, aber bisher bin ich durchweg begeistert. Read more

While I love primes, you can't beat the flexibility of a zoom lens for general photography. I wanted a lens that was tack sharp and had a constant aperture through the zoom range. The Sony lens in this range are a lot more expensive, but I've had good luck with Sigma lenses, so I chose the cheaper option. The first thing you notice about the Sigma is that the zoom ring rotates counterclockwise to zoom in, whereas most other brands rotate clockwise to zoom. It’s like driving in England or Japan compared to the US or Europe. You can adjust except when you have to make a really quick decision, and you turn the wrong way. The other thing you notice is that it is a hefty lens that feels very solid. I shot it for three hours at a race, and it never felt like it was too heavy. I did a “scientific” test comparing the Sigma with other lenses in my kit bag at matching focal lengths and at f/2.8 or as close as I could get. I shot a book cover using a tripod and a remote trigger. I lined things up by eye, so the book was not going to be perfectly parallel to the front of the lens. I shot inside using available light and adjusted shutter speed to keep the ISO at 100. While the primes were slightly sharper, especially in the corners, you had to pixel peep to see much difference. For normal shooting, this lens is sharp through the zoom range. I used the Sigma to shoot the Canal Corridor 100 mile endurance race at the 60-mile mark aid station. It performed very well. Previously, I’ve shot the Burning River 100 mile endurance run using the Sony A99ii and Sony 70-400mm zoom. Because of the long zoom, I found most of my shots were taken with the runners further away. With the 24-70, I was waiting until the runner filled the frame more, and I got more intimate shots. I rarely missed focus, and the shots were all sharp. The backgrounds blurred nicely. The zoom range let me get wide angle shots to capture the support crew and spectators. Overall, the lens proved to be an excellent choice. Highly recommended for full-frame Sony E-mount cameras. I haven't tried it on my APS-C camera yet, but it should be good on that. Read more

Fantastic lens that's comparable to the Sony G lens at half the price. Flash is adequate for the price. Very good deal. Read more

Arguably, the 24-70mm lens category is REALLY BORING. And that applies to this lens as well. BUT BORING IS WHAT MAKES THIS LENS SO GOOD. It does its job and leaves no crumbs. Sharpness is such a big jump from the Sony a7c’s kit lens and I think it’s really close to Sony G master 24-70mm ii f2.8 lens. Even though it may lack some sharpness in the corners. It so minor that it doesn’t justify spending double on a G master. Overall, Great lens for a great price and it holds its value quite well. Next lens I’ll be looking into is Sigma’s 14-24mm. But I’m mildly broke for now(better than if it was G master). Read more

I`m a big fan of Sigma lenses. And I really wish I could love this one more! While it has a great image quality, sharpness and bokeh, it has several major issues for me. 1. Autofocus gets a bit crazy in low-light conditions. Sometimes it gets to the point, where only 1 of 3-4 shots is in focus. 2. Autofocus struggles with landscapes. That`s very surprising for me, since none of my other lenses has this issue. Even during the daytime, I took about 10 landscape shots of the city, and about half of those shots were out of focus. 3. In-camera active stabilization works much better with native Sony lenses. And I didn`t feel it as much with my other 3rd party lenses, as with this particular model. 4. Mustache distortions are quite strong and it`s difficult to perfectly correct them, even when using a native profile in Lightroom. All those factors make this lens a poor choice for professional event, architecture, real estate or landscape photography. Unfortunately, had to return it and order Sony instead. Read more

Cool and helpful Read more

Très bon objectif Read more

The image quality is absolutely amazing with this lense, there’s nothing I would change about it so I really hope they make a mkii of the 14-24mm cause that’s next on my list Read more

I’ve been engaged with photography for years, but I still consider myself a novice. I went from the a7iv Sony kit lens to the sigma, and absolutely did not realize what a world of a difference putting in more money into a quality lens for an expensive body would make. (Yes, I’m a true novice in many sense.) The quality of the camera just blows my mind and the bokeh is great. The weight of the camera is a bit heavier than expected, but for its quality, I’ll Take it! This is a good value for the buck! Read more

El lente es increíble, la calidad de las imágenes es muy buena, sin duda una de mis ópticas favoritas. El precio es justo; todo llegó en muy buenas condiciones, recomiendo al vendedor, llego en el tiempo indicado. Read more

Amazing lens, ultra-fast and accurate focus system, a real improvement over the first version, smooth as butter bokeh, totally recommended. Read more

I sold my Tamron 28-75mm F2.8 G2 just to buy this lens and my decision is right! Upon using it for the first time, I noticed that it is sharper and faster! Yes, it is a bit heavier but it is not a big deal for me as a freelance photographer. It feels premium in my hands and I love the quality of photos I am getting using it with my Sony a7 IV. I am a very happy shooter with this amazing lens now! Read more

Loved it. Read more
