Re: Pre-order: Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG DN E-mount for $1,099!
My Name is Lazarus. I've been Here for a few years but this is my first post. [ I'm not very social media oriented, I prefer to watch read and listen than to speak. sorry in advance ]
I Got my copy late yesterday and tested it this morning on the A7r IV. I did a wall test [ props to "Big Bronco" ] against my copy of the GM 24-70 F 2.8. The Wall is approximately 40 feet away from me.
I'm trying to figure out how to post images here. I'm currently uploading my results on my Flickr account and once they are uploaded I will link it here.
My Copy of the GM is SOLID and acceptably centered considering it's a Zoom!
MY Standard testing procedure:
Carbon fiber tripod.
Meticulously Manual focus at F2.8 Dead center.
Did not refocus at every F stop.
Refocused at every focal length.
OSS set to Off.
No wind.
Shot in RAW
lightroom default prior to export as jpeg.
No lightroom lens correction profiles used on GM or 14-24 DG DN since none exist for the @ 24-70 DG DN
Initial thoughts:
Sigma is shorter and smaller and "seems" lighter
24-70 rotation is opposite of GM. takes some getting use to.
@24 and 35 Sigma beats sony GM in corner to corner sharpness. from F2.8 to F16
24-70 Art Closely Rivals 14-24 DG DN @ 24 [ splitting hairs close ]
@50 Gm is sharper at the extreme corners but Sigma beats or ties it everywhere else from F2.8 to F16
@70 Sigma wins in center sharpness but from APS-C image circle outwards GM is sharper
