Sigma 24-70 f/2.8 DG DN II Art vs Sony 24-70 f/2.8 GM II: Half price, equal quality! 

Yeah, the ornament as well as the wall right to the lamp is clearly sharper on Sigma, at least in this comparison at 3:12.

Shush! Don't mention scratching the lens or all the anti-filter mob will jump on you for not pretending that no one needs a filter.

Both Sigma’s are better then the GM I. The Sigma 24-70 II has faster autofocus and is lighter but its image quality performs similar to the first version with some improvements

Same question here

Compactness is not the job of an art lens. Keep the 28-70 if you like it.

Sure!

Dust FEATURE of the MkI. It's like a FREE black promist, but bigger and more spotty.

Dust issue was fixed in later versions of MKI. If you have an issue with dust send it in, they will clean and replace the problematic seal. I had a later version of the MKI, no dust issues.

You could grab pencil and sketch pad, no?

Sigma said, ver.2 they have fixed dust issue

@@LeeXuan88 hope show ..time will tell ! cheers from Greece !!

Yes

It's a Flashpoint.... Adorama's version of the Godox V1

I own the old Sigma 24-70 F2.8. From reading and watching reviews, the new lens is slightly smaller, lighter, slightly sharper, faster focusing. Has the aperture dial added, probably has better WR so hopefully less prone to dust. My version has some dust in, not excessive and does not show in photos but it's there. I believe things like coma and loca are also better. It's just a little better in every way. The thing is the Mk1 is still a great lens and extremely sharp. So I don't see myself upgrading. The jump in performance is just not worth spending that money again and taking the hit on what I paid for the Mk1 selling. As the market is probably going to be flooded with Mk1s at a good discount soon. If I were buying a 24-70 right now and didn't own one, yes I'd be getting the Mk2. I think Sony GM lenses are honestly a rip off.

What sells me most on the DG DN ll is the close up shot ability. I never was able to get around to getting the MK1 but im definitely making sure i get the new version.

No, it's the sensor. It's the phase detect grid being shown. This is a known artefact at high Fstops shooting into harsh light/contrasting light conditions. It's the exact reason Panasonic argued they didn't want to use phase detect on their sensors for so many years.

@@thegeneral123 thank you for your response. So let's agree that it's not a lens problem... :-)

Hoping to hear about this as well!

Sony GMii may be better but not $1100 better.

Using it on dslr? Or miroless camera?
