FINALLY! Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 for Sony Hands on Preview 

Sorry I misspoke. When I said I was shooting 30 FPS on the A1, I meant I was on H+ drive mode but third party lenses are only capable of shooting 15FPS

haha the best ending ever! HE IS A HUMAN EVERYBODY!

I started watching you 3 years ago manny. Before I bought my first Sony camera which was the a6300. After 3 years I decided to upgrade to the A9 mark 1. You have been very helpful with your information in all your videos .

I love the ending, where you show your human non-perfect side. It helps me and possibly others connect with you Manny the normal person and not the perfect photographer. I hope you decide to incorporate more into your future videos. Great video as always 👏

Still rocking the Tamron35-150 f/2-2.8 on my Sony A7R5 & A7IV. Very happy with my results.

Always appreciate your videos. Been using your reviews and advice for years. Thanks manny!

Manny, your sample images are unreal, fantastic!!

that ending was super relatable, the human side to all of this that we all do. Thank you for still putting this out for us Truly appreciate it

Thanks for your insights, Manny. Great video!

I love that you kept the teleprompter stuff!!

Amazing review my Brotha!!! ✊🏾📸✊🏾

Congrats Manny on 700k! Impressive brother.

thank you for the Review. very well done.

Awesome I am looking for along range lens will go to 300 if possible

Arms look large! Manny hitting the gym! NICE!

I never used a 70-200 on a tripod. Whey is the zoom ring at the end of the barrel? I don't get it. But it's a great lens, that's for sure. I think I will buy it.

my kinda lens for sport photography. the lens is dope.

Love it dude. Also, when we hoopin???

Got mine yesterday. Cant wait to test it in combat (soccer, motocross, planes) :D

How does it compare to the Tamron 70-180 G2?

Manny Keeps it real!

Kindly, could you specify the product model for the Sigma Lens Adapter

Love this video with thebloopers left in. And the review of the lens ofc. I have it already for the L mount, pairing it with a Leica SL3, but still looking at reviews. Don't know why :)))

Sigma continue to kill it. 14-24, 24-70 and now 70-200. I hope they hurry up with Z mount lenses.

The location of the zoom ring and the not easy to remove tripod collar are deal breakers for me.

Been searching for a while already and will use it for filming wedding. I dont mind the weight of sigma as I'll be using it on a tripod most of the time but I need the best focus available and being non parfocal is the deal breaker for me. Another, for photo I really prefer the lightest one available without compromising the quality. Sigma did a great job specially for the price but I'm going with the gm2 for now..

why mounting an Arca Swiss plate on a Arca Swiss compatible tripod mount? ☺

this lens can use for Sony A6400 ?

How is the stabilization on it?

Wait you got the full 30 fps with the a1 and the sigma?

Hope you’re doing fine manny and get some sleep and mental break. Looking forward to your next video

For the price range... Would you get the Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 or the Sony 70-200 f/4 Macro G OSS II?

Can we use TC on it?

Make a comparison with the old 70-200 GM :)

Sigma shot 30 fps and wasn't capped to 15??

@MannyOrtiz , im getting a deal on old sony 70-200 a 200$ less than sigma 70-200. which one to pick. please answer

@Manny Are you sure about shooting the Sigma with 30fps? Shouldn´t it be limited to 15fps? Great video though. But I´m actually quite diesapointed by the Sigma. They had said a while ago that they were going to bring an innovative lense in this range, but they obviously opted for the most conservative aproach possible: it´s big, it´s heavy and exactly a 70-200mm 2.8. I would clearly prefer the way lighter Tamron 70-180 mm 2.8 or the way more versatile Tamron 35-150mm 2-2.8 that´s still lighter than the Sigma. Shurely a great lens, but by no means anything innovative.

Been waiting for a manny video after he went to the Sony creative thing

Ending had a sort of Gerald Undone quality to it. All right.

Can this lens actually do 30fps on the A1? Sony didn’t gimp it?

This is anti clockwise zoom? Like Canon's

I opted for the Tamron 35-150mm, the only lens i've been using lately. I have the Sony 85mm 1.8, Samyang 35mm 1.4, and Tamron 20mm 2.8. If they ever make a 35-150mm 1.8, that would be the perfect lens for me, i don't care if its a bit heavier.

How to seting sonya74 sigma70-200 bro

This is an instant purchase.

Great lens. But the G masters white is a huge flex.

Finally, they cam up, and it's a good alternative it seems, good in weight, internal zoom, good sharpness, Arca foot. Though the hit-rate, despite the new (finally) linear motor(s) for Sigma, seems to be substantially lower than Sony's. But such a huge fail to have the zoom ring up there, for hand-holdability! Next time they can try using the hood as as zoom ring. :)

I recently bought the brand new Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 DG DN OS | Sport Sony FE mount, but unfortunately it keeps making relatively audible noises when it is connected to the camera and the camera is on. The noise is comparable to when an external hard drive is connected to a laptop and you click through the files. In other words, like when an external hard drive is running. The noises are similar. If I turn off the image stabilisation switch on the lens, the noise is just the same. Even if I don't press the camera's shutter release button halfway, the noises are audible. They are permanently audible, regardless of whether I am taking photos. Can someone please give me some feedback as to whether this is normal with this lens. I would hate to have bought a defective lens for so much money. Many thanks in advance.

The zoom ring at the end is such a boneheaded move.

I wouldve bought this lens 3 years ago when I was in the market for it. Since then I have sold my 24-70 and picked up the 24-105 and 100-400. I am very happy with my decision.

Now can we get a Z Mount please.

yessir

Walking zombie asidea, wtf is up with the arca swiss plate on the already arca swiss ready tripod mount??

Isn't the A1 limited to 15 fps shooting with 3rd party lenses? The native Sony lens would allow for full 30

They would release one after I already purchased the GMii 🙄. Can't wait to see comparison videos but the GMii is a godsend.

Time to give Sigma more of my money! I need this for fashion and event coverage.

How tall are you?

Insane lens! Sharp doggo photos!

nice alternative lens, but i think is better to choose the sony lens. the sigma lenses have in the past years some problems like getting dust particles inside of the lens.

Take care of you 🙏🏾👍

In Aust same price as sony GM 2

You should call this video teleprompter Wars lol. That was absolutely hilarious to listen to. I would say it sounds better when you're just pulling up the info from memory because some of those words didn't really sound like Manny was saying it. Anyways do what you got to do keep up the good work and whatever happened to the video with your stuff getting stolen We never saw update from that. Anyways Godspeed

If you want to sell more presets show us how to download and use then if I know I would buy all yours

0:37 ...fist time i see an arca swiss plate on a lens arca swiss standard mount...?

Thank you for this Manny. Look after yourself bro. Understand you gotta work but your health matters too. Walking Zombie Manny is not sustainable so I hope you can get some meaningful rest too. 😴😴😴😴😴

The thing with third party lenses now with Sony is that now you don’t completely know whether it has full support and functionality of Sony’s new cameras because now Sony cameras do shoot crazy fps and it will be a shame if it does not support all the features.

I would have bought this before Tamron came up with decent options.

Wow I'm so early 😂

Nice Video And As Always Nice Photos. C'mon Manny Did You Just Say ONLY 1.500.00 For The Lens :( Can't Afford Such Lens lol

What was that 😮 you could've concluded with final thoughts bro.

Thanks for leaving in the unedited clips. 😂

GM all day everyday.

Dont need this, i love my Tamron 70-180 G2! 😍

I was waiting for this lens, but its all backwards. Zoom at the end, counter clockwise rotation, higher price(than I was hoping for)... The test shots look great, but sounds like a pass for me.

Only 1500 WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFF 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

Not beating the Tamron 35-150mm f/2-2.8 Di III VXD

Cons: heavy 1.5kg, zoom ring at the end of the lens, in addition, move rotation opposite direction, restricted to only 15 fps, high price as 3rd party manufacturer, its better spend a bit more and get legendary GM II, i bet AF in GM is far far better

My boy was reading like Floyd lol

Your hit rate of shooting 30fps on A1 is technically 15fps because you can't shoot more than 15fps on third party lenses. For telephoto lenses always go with native lenses.

This video was still good, but as you likely know, it wasn't your best work. The best advice I was given is that you should never film a RU-vid video tired. Get a little rest, relax, then do it my brother. But hey, love the authenticity and I still want to buy the lens for sure.

A pity that it's not an Art lens. Is it sharper than the new Tamron 70-180 G2 and the Sony 70-200 f/2.8 GM1 and the new Sony 70-200 f/4 G2? It will be less sharp than the new Sony 70-200 f/2.8 GM2, definitely. Why is the zoom ring right at the front? That must be a horror, right? The weight also scares me slightly. It is heavier than the new Sony 70-200mm f/2.8 GM2. Are there any wedding photographers or other people here who shoot for several hours or all day with lenses that are that heavy? Is that really possible? Doesn't it hurt your bones at the end of the day? Thank you very much

lol... what do you mean you were a walking zombie? hahahaha

Sad It’s $2500 for Indian, any alternative site for indian people??

Lol. I knew you were reading. 😂

Second

"Its only 1500 dollars" is crazy 💀😂

Image quality is old hat nowadays. It’s the bells and whistles that sell camera equipment.

Not the video Sigma had hoped for.

The last sentence was probably not on the prompter lolol 😂😂😂😂 get some rest

Why oh why Sigma?!! The zoom ring should be Righty tighty, lefty loosey like everything else in the world. The backward zoom ring is so silly, and the placement is horrendous. Great optics, but the UX makes it a definite no-go.

Wait...Teleprompter? You mean you weren't spitting facts and specs of the dome?! Mind-Blown...lol, j/k. I really had given up on Sigma releasing this lens. Thanks for the info Manny...Go to sleep

Bulky 😢

I think something was bothering this dude... wasnt him at all...

😂

sigma zoom lens = out sigma prime lens = perfect

If lens weight more, it loses value

Zoom ring at the end is horrible. Zooming the wrong way is horrible. Those are deal breakers for me.

Sony cheapo lenses for cheapo users, at least they are not Samyang or Tamron

70-200 loses f stops as you zoom in. Great for day time sports. Clown show in low light events.
