You're a wonderful human being Mr. Arthur I love your reviews, they're totally magnificent for the Sony users out there before buying my a6600, I watched your videos about the a6xxx lineup and they were so interesting and I learnt a lot from them, really thank you so much Much love from Egypt to you, your wife and your 2 beautiful boys, God bless all of you
I would love to see a comparison with the Tamron 17-28. The Tamron is lighter and costs less, and uses smaller, more affordable, filters, but is still f2.8. The Sigma is 1mm wider but I am struggling to find a significant advantage since the Tamron is also very good image quality. I would love to see them head to head.
Can you do a comparison with the Sony new 16-35mm? This lense seems dope at f2.8 compared to sonys f4 but is it as light compact and easy to use? Because sonys native lense is about the same price!!!
I have Sigma28-70 f2.8 snd always put on my gimbal for video, I have an idea with this two lens, it’s weight almost same as 28-70, does it use the same balance set up of the gimbal, if it work, it will save the time of rebalance the gimbal between this two lens, what do you think?
May trade in my Sony 20mm f/1.8 for this one. Without OIS on the 20mm, I have to use active stabilization, which crops it in quite a bit, resulting in a frame that's barely wider than 24mm. And the problem with going to 14mm for video is you can't put a regular screw in filter on the front. The Sony 14mm has the little rear filter, but I don't want to have to take my lens off with every change in lighting so I can change the filter! This seems to be the bet option if you don't want to spend the money for the Sony 16-35.
I just got Sony a7c with the 28-60 kit lens and I have felt that I want something wider. This lens couldn't have come out at a better time and the price also is pretty okay.
i think i will not loose much sharpness with this lense if compare with 20 mm sigma prime, very interested in this zoom for my underwater photo and video projects - i can choose between 16 and 20 mm for wide shots, thank you
I love but maybe I’ll hold on. Might be weird but what kill it for me is the filter being 72mm because almost every other lens is 67mm, even the tamron 17-28
Hi Arthur, I am debating getting this Sigma 16-28 F2.8 or the Sony 20mm F1.8 G.. I mainly shoot video. I already have the Sigma 24-70 F2.8. Which one would you recommend? Thanks
I would go with the 16-28mm. I've had the Sony 20mm 1.8 and it sure is a nice lens. You don't really notice the wider aperture unless you get super close, so the versatility of the zoom is the way to go in my opinion. I don't have the 16-28 but I have the 17-28 tamron and I almost always picked the tamron over the sony so I ended up selling it. An extra millimeter on the wide end sure does more than you think sometimes, so pick the new sigma over the tamron unless you can get it for a great deal!
The Sigma 16-28. You will be surprised at how many times you will bypass the prime. I have the 20mm 1.8 and use it far less than my Sigma 14-24 and 24-70 zooms.
Hey Arthur, what do you think about this lens in comparison to the Sigma 14-24 for Real Estate? I've recently started to get several Real Estate jobs and have been renting the 16-35 Zeiss. It works fine but personally I have also wanted to buy a wide angle lens for photographing landscapes and family life, thus I would prefer to have 2.8 for when I need it, but also want the best optical quality possible to continue to build my Real Estate portfolio.
@@ArthurR it’s like an extra 35mm prime is packed in there. Happy with the versatility. I use the 16-35, the Sigma art 24-70 and the Tamron 70-180 to cover just about anything on my a7iv. I mount the Tamron on my a6600 if I want more reach. On the Gimbal I use the iPhone 13pro as it’s easier to balance and use.
I'm apsc sony shooter, looking for upgrade to fullframe.. the nikon z7 is on my list, but lens release like this sigma makes me hookex back into sony 😁
Arthur, you a good guy.. but you should maybe check uncorrected raw files for distortion and vignetting. And i say that because this lens has a lot of both.
I own the Sigma 28-70. Since I also own the Sigma 20 f2 I will not buy the 16-28. I love the build of the prime and the aperture ring. And I almost never need wider than 20 mm
