So far, I've only viewed Dustin's review which is actually a Tamron G2 vs Sigma comparison (what is interesting is that he had both Tamron G2 and Sigma Sports zooms at the same time).
High-level summary :
- if your lens usage is mainly travel and you value weight & compactness, go with the Tamron.
- if you want Sony GM quality (build, features...) minus the TCs compatibility and 15 frames/s cap, go with the Sigma.
- differences in image quality and bokeh between these 2 lenses are really minimal (brighter image and slight better bokeh with the Tamron vs better image stabilization, better contrast and image quality at close distance with the Sigma).
- the actual FoV difference between these 2 lenses is minimal (short distance and less at longer distances), maybe due to Sigma lens exhibiting some breathing (Gerald does test this so very likely we'll have this info in his review).
Dustin stated in a reply to a YT comment that the tripod collar is not removable.
I don't like this but, with my usages (hiking and macro), I do prefer the Sony G2 zoom anyway although I am still thinking of the Tamron G2 as a potential alternate choice.
