It’s not too far off from what I’d expect, but if you want the fastest autofocus performance, reach for a Sony or Tamron. This was in continuous autofocus, with eye AF on. This lens missed subjects at a running pace 20 to 25 percent of the time. With this body, I expect a 15 percent miss rate. (You can see the spot from the dirty sensor in the corner of this shot.)įor action, the Sigma lens was slightly slower than other lenses I’ve used with the a7 III. It’s certainly not horrible, but it’s no Sony G Master. There’s a bit of a plastic feel to it, especially when compared to the feel of a fully weather-sealed lens. We’ve used Sony’s fully weather-sealed lenses on the a7 III and ended up with dirty sensors, so it’s certainly possible (maybe even likely) that Sony is the guilty party here. It’s difficult to say if the dirty sensor was the fault of Sigma or Sony. I didn’t get any debris on the sensor that time. I did clean the sensor and take the camera back outside, shoot for a bit, and leave the lens mounted for 12 hours. Was it a result of the splash? Did it blow in while changing lenses? Or is that weather-sealing at the mount imperfect? I can’t say with 100 percent certainty. I did, however, accumulate some debris on the sensor of the a7 III while using the lens. Despite that, I gave it a good splash with some dirty river water and the lens and camera kept shooting. For all intents and purposes, you should really be careful with this lens. The Sigma 28-70mm f2.8 is dust and splash-resistant only at the mount, with a coating on the front to help repel water and oil. Why am I writing this?

They haven’t responded to our last email, so we asked LensRentals to help us out. Despite having reviewed the largest database of Sigma prime lenses, Sigma felt we were too harsh on their products. But it’s also not uncommon to hear threats from brands to change your coverage to something more positive when it doesn’t deserve it. At 16.6 ounces and $900, the E-Mount lens has several advantages before you even take it out of the box.īesides those widest 4mm, however, what else did Sigma cut to reach to such a low weight and price point? Is the lens still a workhorse, or a pony? Can it really compare to the 24-70mm Art lens? The Sigma 28-70mm f2.8 still pleases with some great color and decent bokeh but lacks the edge sharpness of pricier, larger lenses.Įditor’s Note: Typically, when you’re as authentic and large as we are, you work with manufacturers to get products in for review.

The Sigma 28-70mm f2.8 DG DN Contemporary is nearly half the weight of the Sony G Master and even Sigma’s own 24-70mm Art series lens. That’s why Sigma (gasp!) shaved four mm off the traditional workhorse wide-to-mid to craft the Sigma 28-70mm f2.8. The zoom mixed with the bright aperture creates a heavy lens that’s difficult to carry around all day. The 24-70mm f2.8 lens is a workhorse, but it’s a bit of a Clydesdale.
