You guys (RU-vidrs) made me buy this lens today (in January 2023). Too much positive reviews and all the comparisons with the Tamron 17-28 made me want it more ! I'm happy that end-of-year price reductions are still existing even if we already are in half of January. I really love the sharpness of the Sigma lenses for the price. I prefer Tamron more for the accent on blue and orange colors for my landscape photography. But I prefer Sigma for my portrait photography. I can't wait to see how this one performs in terms of colors and sharpness for landscape photography compared to my Tamron 20mm f/2.8 thank you for the review !

Great review from a pro photographer, not just a RU-vidr. Your sample photos look awesome. I prefer Sigma for the wide end to 16mm and higher contrast. Tamron 17-28 seems a bit too narrow Zoom range and might prefer a prime such as Sony 20G.

Great review - much needed. The other possible decision factor is that Sony has a investment stake in Tamron and that shows up for users in protocol implementation. While the protocols are open, we have seen Tamron operating better (e.g. AF) a bit better than the competition on some of lenses. But fortunately you really can't go wrong here with either.

Dustin Abbot seem to see significantlly more vignetting and distortion at the Sigma. And a shorter 28 on the tamron. So I'd say significant less range on the tamron. I belief Abbott found the Tamron's bokeh better and sharpness too (and price and better weather sealing).

@PavSZ 2 года назад

I've heard some reports of vignetting on Sigma but I couldn't see any with the 3 lenses that I have used (L-mount and 2 x Sony-E). Maybe there was inconsistency with pre-production copies. Tamron is weather sealed, that's a plus but Sigma is much, much sharper, or should I say the sharpness is much easier to nail with it. Just my opinion

@CC-gt3ro Год назад

Same for me. I think the Tamron beat the Sigma on nearly on parameter, price, focusing distance, warranty, weather sealing. The only thing missing in the Tamron is a button configurable like on Sony lens or the Sigma, for autocus/manual focus and one button to set apsc35 mode for example, that would be perfect for somebody that have a Sony a7c with less buttons. With buttons the Tamron would be the absolute perfection, but right now it still the best to my opinion.

@tubularificationed 2 года назад

3:24 worried me though 😲 the very center (the statue column) proves that the exposure is properly identical, but already when only slightly off the center, the Sigma becomes noticeably darker (which implies: noisier after de-vignetting), and regarding color reproduction, it literally hates (and eats) foliage green? These greens compare literally like night versus day. This way, the Sigma probably wouldn't become a landscape photographer's best friend, would it?

@PavSZ 2 года назад

the thing is that Tamron lens profile has been applied in Lightroom to all of the photos, Sigma profile is not available yet. I think I am going to go with Sigma .... I don't know yet

@@PavSZ Let's hope it is a profile thing then, at least with regards to the 'vignetting'. Do you know if lens profiles are also designed to be able to tweak color reproduction?

But please do a re-test and share your findings, whenever Adobe will have released a lens profile 🙂 I'm sure they will do promptly, because this will become a popular lens, because for many / for most users, sharpness nuances are the thing which rules out everything else 😉 (also simply because one can tweak light and colors in post, but sharpness only to a very limited extent)

Considering the sigma over the 20mmf1.8 due to the active stabilization crop of the a7siii I'm using, that would make it more like a 22mm I'd assume. While the f1.8 is nice, I don't think it would be wide enough for me.
