The New Sigma 24-70 F2.8 - Time To Upgrade? 

Cheers mate! We need to catch up soon!

Thanks dude!

Yes it’s still the best

I pre-ordered the Sigma 24-70mii but im windering if the Panasonic 24-70 is better. I'd orefer to stay native. What do you think?

Yes the Lumix is better

@@sequenceclark thanks. I actually have both coming in on Monday bc my preorder shipped and I decided to get the Panasonic. I guess I'll do my own side by side but I'm pretty confident the Panny will be better.

Are you considering switching from the lumix s pro 24-70mm to this one?

Damn. Where did you hear that LUMIX will drop a new zoom? What do you think would the pricepoint be of a 24-70 f2.0?

@@leocaptured just go to google and search for „panasonic l mount roadmap“ and you will find an overwiew. There you can see that they will release a new zoom lens with wide open apeture. If I do interpretate it right, it looks like the lens will start at 28 not 24 and you don‘t know what they will really do. Maybe they will release something different or brand new. My guesses are a 28-70 2.8 that will be lightweight or a 28-70 f2.0 as a killer machine 😂 but the first one‘s maybe the more possible option because you can see at the roadmap that it will be a S line lens not the S Pro 😅 I‘m excited what really happens. Maybe my guesses will become reality or maybe not 🤷‍♂️

​@@leocaptureddamn near three grand.

Thanks for watching!

@@JoshCameron 🙏❤️

Great point. Is is really worth shelling out $1000 if you already have one. Definitely not providing a $1000 difference in quality from the original.

@@coreyfromtheconscious I think trade in value for the 28-70 is around $7-800.. so I guess that would be worth considering. Either way, I'm just waiting for that Samyang 35-150 to pair with a wide and then I'm going to call it a day.

I love my 28-70mm and value it being way cheaper/lighter/compact than 24-70mm lenses. The 4mm with a step or two back is an easy workaround!

@@jonagreyphoto agreed!

​@@jonagreyphoto Same, it's pretty wild how compact and lightweight the 28-70 is. The main lens that convinced me to go FF Lumix. Some quick math, but you could carry the Sigma 16-28 + 28-70 and be less than half a pound heavier than the 24-70ii alone. Some tradeoffs obviously, but that's pretty amazing. However, I bet the Sigma 24-70ii is super nice for what it is.

I agree, what isn't sharp these days? Rendering is subjective, but when you have magical glass, it's definitely inspiring and worth noting.

@@TerryPagel Indeed.

It depends on whether you value sharpness or size and weight! I love both, so I’d say that’s the only deciding factor :)

Thank you ! I appreciate you watching :)

exchange rate + tax inclusive vs no tax inclusive

@@SolaSly exchange rate around 1.28 so should be around 20% down on price. 👀

Could always rent it and see how you like it. But I'm at a stage personally where I'm trying to shrink my kit as much as possible.

How did you end up deciding?

I sold my as new Mk1 for 70% approx of the cost , and bought the new one. It's worth it for the external Iris besides it's a bit smaller and lighter. But yeah get online and see whats they are going for in your market.

Same with every system... good glass costs good money! EF "L" lenses were even more expensive - same with RF.

@@minktronics I know. I prefer prime lens so they tend to be a little less. Or I just wait until the price drops 😆

The Samyang 35-150 f2-2.8 is coming to L mount soon!

@@minktronics hopefully or though they said that before Christmas

​@@harryvlogs7833 Member of the L-mount alliance......with no L-mount lenses 💀 But it'll be a good day once they finally show up!

@ywmedia what are you talking about there are loads of l mount lenses

Not for video , ext Iris is a big plus .
