SIGMA 24-70 F2.8 // The all around dream lens

Which lens should I buy? I only want one lens, which should I get? Which lens is best for shooting a variety of subjects? These are all questions I get daily.

Although there never will be one perfect lens for shooting everything, I think this is the closest I have ever come to finding it.

Yep. I said it, if you’re only getting one lens. This is IT 🤙🏻

I bought this lens for my A7iii after watching your initial review. I have made commercial videos with it, done weddings, music videos, and now my YouTube videos. Never been disappointed with it at all. Might I say it's a perfect lens? Good video as always man!

[antonijapek]

This is the only lens I have with my Sony A7III I picked up this summer. It's just great, nothing to complain

[joshantolin]

My first e mount lens for my A7Siii. A beast combo.

[BlasterDavo]

It's what I call a holiday lens!
When you're moving fast or just don't want/need all the extra work involved with shooting on multiple lenses, having a good zoom lens is invaluable.

I love this lens, I shot my first wedding and I only used this lens for the whole thing.

Recently bought this lens and its fast becoming my go to piece of glass....

I have to admit, I haven't used the 24 GM that much since I got this lens. It's basically a pipe full of 2.8 primes. Pairing it up with the Sigma 14-24 and the 100-400mm GM + 1.4x tc (and the 85 1.8 if the situation calls for it) gives me just about a complete landscape, wildlife and street photography bag. The Tammy 28-75 collects dust now, I only use it if I'm taking shots OF the Sigma lens...

Black Friday purchase! I’m getting a Sony a7iii + Sigma 24-70 TONIGHT!
People will probably laugh at me.. I’m not a photographer and I’m sure I didn’t need all these. I love photography, but I’m only a makeup artist and hairstylist who wants to take great pictures of my work, and stop waiting on photographers to give me some image for my portfolio. I’m committed to learn! ( I have a 50mm lens from my very first Sony NEX5T).
I love Sony! Maybe because it was the very first company that I worked for while living in Japan. Funny... I used to build cameras and PlayStation ). Great videos!! Thank you.❤️

Chris you never miss! Great vid again, brother. Thx for what you do. 💛🙏🏼

[TommyCallaway]

I freaking love my Sigma 24-70 2.8. They're glued together.

This is the video I’ve been waiting for

I agree with you! I use the Tamron 28-75, which is pretty much identically (minus build quality) and it’s amazing what these two zooms are capable of. I mean for sure Prime lenses are sharper and have that “prime” look, but for versatility reasons, Tamron and sigma win for these two zooms. For anyone considering these lenses I can 100% vouch for Tamron.

[michaelscaplis]

The 2.8 for a still 'affordable' price (at least vs the Sony GM) is a positive. On the other hand the Sony 24-105 F4 has a wider range and OSS but of course only F4. Price is comparable, so F2.8 vs OSS and 35mm extra range. Difficult.

[Montieyt]

This is the Lens I just got for my new A7C, coming from A6600 with the Sigma 16 and 30, this is by far a super sharp lens with zoom capabilities. This is my first Full Frame setup and it's solid, I'll probably look at getting a Sony 20mm 1.8 as my first prime. Great video!

[justinweeks]

Best lens ive ever used. Extremely versatile and gorgeous lens

[SoyDararoth]

It’s been sitting on my a7iii for every projects! 🖤

[CaseyHardman]

I mostly do music videos with my A7III and have the ability to plan out which lenses to use throughout the project, so I haven’t yet had an issue with my 24, 50, and 85 Sigma primes, but since I plan on getting into weddings next year, this thing looks like a winner!

[frasercuviello]

I agree completely. Picked this up a couple weeks ago, and it is incredible. Great video!

[brianesquinas]

Right after upgrading to the α7 III, coming from the α6300, I bought this lens a month later. And it was just early this year.

This is the perfect lens
