    The fact that I almost bought the mk1 a few weeks ago but decided to hold off for a bit and now the mark 2 shows up must be a sign 😂

    • @spiritunbound
      @spiritunbound Před 2 měsíci +1

      I almost bought the mark 1 a day before it was announced. I ended up buying the mark2 within the first hour it went on preorder. I feel where you’re coming from.😂😂

    • @USGrant21st
      @USGrant21st Před 2 měsíci +1

      But the question is whether the new version is worth 1/3 more for most people. Probably not. I had the first version, it's pretty solid lens, not much improved in v2.

    • @maxmil2809
      @maxmil2809 Před 2 měsíci +1

      @@USGrant21st I mean if you own one it’s not really worth it unless you really a zoom in freak. Although as in my case that u don’t have a 24-70mm this is prefect and just need to save up more. Currently I’m rocking a 16-35mm gm and a 85mm 1.8 and I want something in the middle

  • @proksalevente
    @proksalevente Před 2 měsíci +12

    Something is wrong with your old lens. Mine isn't that soft and Dustin Abott also did a comparison, where the results were way closer.

    • @shahrukh502
      @shahrukh502 Před měsícem +1

      I agree! Something is off. pictures from Sigma 2470 M1 clearly lack definition here and are soft, which I find absurd because he also used a tripod.
      My Sony SEL2870 kit lens performs better at F8 than Sigma 2470 M1 shown here under low light :'D
      I previously owned Sigma 2470 M1 and tested it in the night to photograph roads and cars. at 100% zoom and lower light levels than this one (4s shutter speed) I could read the parked cars number plates without softness.
      P.S: I returned my initially bought Sigma 2470 M1 because it was simply expensive 2 years. Now I bought it again on discount because I simply loved it back then.

    In Europe and the US the mk II is even more of a no brainer since the difference is only about 100 Euros / Dollars and the gm II ist literally double the Price (here in Germany its 1190/1300 and 2400 Euros for mk1/mk2 and gm)

    • @USGrant21st

    YOU definitely ruined my evening 🤣 Seeing this video right after having to buy the "new" Sigma 35mm f1.4 DG DN because my A7S3 simply didn't wanted to S-AF in photo mode with my first Sigma 35mm f1.4 DG HSM, is pretty depressing! One can not simply keep up with all the upgraded gear that's coming out if videography or photography is your hobby and you're not making any money out of it. The results the MkII gives you look absolutely GORGEOUS though!!!

    USD the mk1 is $899 vs the mk2 is $1199, is the $300 difference worth it? Since I have neither lens, I’m looking into a standard zoom and the “new” price (on sale) for the mk1 is the same as the used sale most everywhere.

    I bought the mk.1 back in February for $800, i got it from the original owner who I’m guessing didn’t use it much because it was super mint. I wish I knew about the mk.2 was around the corner I might have waited. But I’m definitely happy with the mk.1

    bought the old one and the dust issue is a bummer but got it cheaper than most of my primes so I cant complaint. 350$ price for a used piece with dust issues. did diy cleaning attempt but got one screw stucked with proprietary glue. Learnt about the glue applied by manufacturers later on after some research. got to buy extractor if isopropyl doesnt work. not really complicated to do even for first timer diy guy bit anxious though.

    This is a bad time to be shooting Canon....I haven't seen an EF version to be adapted and they ain't opening the full frame mount for a while. Which is a shame because this is my favorite focal length to use. I love my current Sigma 24-70 EF lens. I have my EF to RF Adapter permanently on it because I use it so much.

    Just a heads up for fellow Aussies, the Mark II is only $150 cheaper than the Sony GM II. For $150 more, you can get more FPS and focus breathing compensation (for cameras that support it). Won't be worth it to majority of people but wanted to throw this out there

      I had Sigma 28-70 at the same time I had 24-70. The former is much softer and lower in contrast, but both produce nice images with good bokeh, I wouldn't hesitate using any of them. The only reason I gave up 24-70 is because it was too heavy and no fun to use.

  • @USGrant21st
    @USGrant21st Před 2 měsíci

    Its release is greatly undermined by Tamron dropping 28-75/2.8 G2 price to $699 and Sigma themselves dropping the price of the original version to $899. The new lens retails $1199, i.e. $500 more than Tamron and $300 more than the previous version. Both Tamron and old Sigma are equally good optically as the new one, so whether the minor differences of version 2 are worth the extra money is debatable.

    Hi there
    something is off with the M1 pictures. Even my Sony SEL 2870 has better performance (albeit slightly) under lowlight at f8 than Sigma 2470 M1 shown here. I recently bought Sigma 2470 M1 because I simply loved the lens when I tested it 2 years ago under low light and my pictures were sharper at 100% than the M1 samples shown here! Do not be taken aback by this review, folks!

    @biishoyyy Před 2 měsíci

    when you have a dead battery in a manual car you sit inside and let it roll in second gear which essentially push-starts it! this happened to me one time in a remote location and I was alone so I had to push my car as fast as I could then I hopped in and clutched kicked and it started!
    1. Turn the ignition to ON and leave it there. At no point during this process should you turn it to START
    2. Shift to 2nd gear but don't release the clutch
    3. Release brakes
    4. Commence rolling down an incline, OR have a friend start pushing the car
    5. At about 6mph or 10km/h, drop the clutch. No accelerator is necessary
    6. If it worked the engine will now be running and the car will continue along at an idle. You can safely clutch in and apply the brakes now. If the car shuddered and did not quite start, repeat the steps but reach a higher speed before dropping the clutch

      @@thephobic1393 i got mine for 950€ on amazon at a sales price. So overall I don't think it's worth selling V1 and getting the V2 as i would be paying 300 to 400 more just to get the upgraded version. We good mate, we good! just unlucky

    It’s a manual and you looked like you were in a parking garage. Just push it and pop the clutch lmao. You didn’t need to freak out about getting a jump.

    It sucks if you own the MK I of this lens but it sucks even more knowing that f*ckin Canon won‘t allow Sigma to produce this amazing lens for their mount. I opted for Canon back then because I have huge hands and I had bloody fingers after every shoot with Sony. Now I have to overpay for every RF Lens (they‘re outstanding but too expensive)

    I just find the 24-70 in general to be the most basic and boring focal range of them all. Its not quite wide enough, as well as long enough on the other end.

    Sharp is nice but these clinically sharp lenses start to lack character at a certain point.
