What do you think about this NEW Sigma 70-200mm?
@classic.cameras 9 ай бұрын
I want one so bad but!!!!! I do not really need it which is why I have no 70-200mm lenses since going from Canon where I had the L f2.8 version to Sony where my max reach is like 135 with AF lenses.

@PavSZ 9 ай бұрын
It's hard to find the right balance in the reviews like this. I also had very limited time to shoot samples with it as the weather was very bad here in the last few days. Standard Sigma here. Focus by wire, smooth focusing, no hard stops. Almost zero focus breathing. Very good AF in video - no problems.

Looks like a good lens. Good choice for L-mount, but for Sony probably Tamron 70-180 2.8 G2 is a better option. Not as heavy, is cheaper, and also has great IQ. If you accept 180, of course.
@PavSZ 9 ай бұрын
I love the Tamron but this is in a different class
@nothingtoseeheremovealong... 9 ай бұрын
Yea this lens is in a weird place honestly. It's like 99% GM in terms of build/buttons/optics but gets artificially limited thanks to Sony insisting only GM glass gets TC/full FPS on a9/a1 etc. It's almost too good for what it is.

I own the RF 70-200 f2.8 and love it, but I just drool over all of these DG DN offerings that make me regret buying my R6ii a year ago. So tempting to sell it all and switch to Sony.

I saw a comparison with the Tamron 70-180 G2. And I like Tamron better in terms of bokeh and depth of the picture, it gives depth and plasticity to the photos. The bokeh of Sigma is too crystalline like taken with an iPhone.

I can't say that I have noticed the difference between bokeh of those two lenses. Very similar to me. I have just reviewed the Tamron this week

@@PavSZ Hahaha Yes! Sigma and you made it hard for me. We are leaving to India for a few months (backpacking) and I love long focal lengths. I am planning to sell my 100-400 and stick with my 28-70 & 18mm and wil save space and weight. But omg what I beautifull images is the 70-200 producing.

Thanks. Good video as always. I'll stick with the Tamron 35-150 on this occasion. I'm curious why you never placed your 'info' on each shot as you normally do please? Such as F? and ISO, Shutter Speed? I'm always curious to learn how others shoot. Thanks again. Lee
@PavSZ 9 ай бұрын
Thank you. I very rarely put that info in my videos. Occasionally with zoom lenses to show mainly what zoom position I've used. I show a lot of samples and this takes very long time to add on. I had very limited time to edit this video to go out today and it was just not possible.

Is the front zoom ring not annoying? There is alot of critics about this fact of swapped rings compared to the Sony. On my Tamron 28-75 mm also the zoom ring is at the front and it does not bother me. Not sure if it will in this case with the Sigma. The lens is much longer.
@PavSZ 9 ай бұрын
it's not annoying, you get used to it in 5 min. It also, as with all Sigmas, rotates the opposite direction than Sony zooms do

they are both good to buy. Two completely different lenses. I can't advise you, or anyone which lens to buy. I don't know you, I don't know your experience. I don't know what you need the lens for. I don't know your budget etc. Only you can make that decision based on reviews and specs avilable online

I don't doubt for a second that Lumix is an awesome lens but how does it beat it in all aspects? Apart from being more expensive it is also bigger, heavier, it has got no manual aperture ring, customisable stabilisation and focus limiter and the filter thread is 82mm
