Optimal resolution is achieved through an optical design of 17 elements in 14 groups, including 2 Aspherical, 1 Hybrid-Aspherical, 3 High Refractive and 3 Extra-Low Dispersion. In addition, UMC Ultra Multi-Coatings have been applied to minimise aberration and unnecessary light dispersion. Combined with Sony's full-frame image sensor, this zoom lens delivers superior sharpness and contrast in all areas of the image. This was a tough one to choose as all four lenses do come with great build quality and all feel extraordinarily strong and sturdy. But I did find that out of all four lenses the Sigma just tipped the scales. The aesthetics of the Sigma and exceptional build from them make it the one I would recommend if you are wanting a nice looking and strong lens for your Sony Alpha.

If you absolutely need 24mm and you are budget constrained then it is a valid option, but for 33% more the Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN Art is offering globally much better performances The focusing collar is fly-by-wire and is actually multi-function – its role determined by the Custom Mode switch on the side of the barrel. Out of the box, the two mode settings are for manual focus and manual aperture setting, but Samyang says that more options will be added with future firmware upgrades, presumably similar to the multi-function collars on Canon RF and Nikkor Z lenses.

Go get yourself a dictionary, learn the meaning of those words / phrases, and realize there was none of that from me" D’un point de vue spécifications, le Samyang est le plus lourd et le plus gros des 24-70 F2.8 mais aussi le moins cher. Pour atteindre ce niveau de prix quelques compromis on été fait pour la qualité de construction (qui reste très bonne) et l’ergonomie (ex pas de AF/MF pas de bouton de maintien de mise au point) In the past, Samyang lenses have been celebrated for their difference; for a long time being only fully manual primes, but very good ones optically and selling at very affordable prices. Now there’s a myriad of Chinese brands muscling in on that territory, some with even lower-priced products, which is probably why Samyang has decided to move itself much more into the mainstream, first with AF primes and now with its first AF zoom for mirrorless. This is bringing it directly up against heavy-hitters such as Sigma and Tamron, as well as the camera brands themselves, but the new AF 24-70mm f/2.8 FE suggests it’s everybody else who should be worried, not Samyang. On to using the lens itself, the first thing I noticed from the Tamron compared to the others was how light this lens is. At only 540g it is nearly half the weight of the Samyang and just over 300g lighter than the Sony. This made it very easy to carry and use.
