NEW Sigma 24mm F1.4 | As Good As Sony 24GM??

Stay away from the Viltrox 24mm FE. Imaging is especially good for ASP-C, but I got a dud that quickly failed and Viltrox does not want to honor their warranty.

Do either of them have linear manual focus? Or are they both focus by wire?

How do you all think the Sony 24 mm G fits into this conversation?

Pasadena is so boring to me

Thank you man, you saved me from buying the wrong Sigma lens

Thanks for the comparison. I've been debating a semi wide angle option for my cameras!

I love your videos and it looks like you used to live in my “hood,” as I recognize many of your city and building photos . Hope you are enjoying Tokyo.

Is that vignette only a problem during photo mode? Or video as well? Kind of thinking that if I do this, I might just jump in and get the Sony.

Coming from a smart phone, it’s really jarring how every single shot in all of these reviews, the sky is blown out. It just depends on what you’re looking for out of a camera but to me that immediately makes it look like it’s a bad quality shot. hard to compete with a chip in a smart phone, though that’s doing 1 million processes at once. But it’s just kind of hard to be pleased seeing you running up to the camera and just seeing that there is literally no sky and that every single video that anybody does, there is no sky lol.

On the iPhone 13 Pro, I’m having problems reviewing products because the whole game controller won’t just stay in focus. I was thinking that’s because of the aperture so if I get a nice camera like a mirror, less camera, I could just adjust the aperture. But now I’m not so sure, after watching videos like yours whenever you show the product, part of it looks blurry. I really don’t want that. I want it to look like it looks like for a real human. Whenever you look at a product you can see the whole thing just not the background.

Weird, Amazon has one for $650 that has that display thing on there but the description says it’s for Sony e mount mirrorless

How does this stack up to the Sony G

Am waiting for 50mm dgdn

So for the difference in price between the Sigma and the G-master, you could get the Sigma 70mm f2.8 DG Macro, too? Cool!

great video! I was wondering have you tried the sigma 24mm F1.4 on the crane m3?

I've been very impressed with what Sigma has been putting out for mirrorless cameras. I have the 24-70mm f2.8 and 85mm F1.4, both are amazing lenses with fantastic build quality.

Good review

What wide-angle would you recommend for video creators if both this sigma and the Sony 24mm are more for photo?

Nope! Sony all the way.

There is a Samyang 1.8…I wonder what you would say about it.

PLEASE : I would like to come across someone having the curiosity to make "back-up" photos of every shot made with the 24mm (at f/1.4, and say f/5.6) also with the 20mm WITHOUT CHANGING DISTANCE to subject ! ..then crop those in post to match as close as possible to the framing of the 24mm shots.
(Imagine You could finetune and store the finder's cropping to ouer taste..!) . How does bokkeh, distortion, grain, ..compare?

Hey Jason. I'm actually about to pull the trigger on one of these. When you say the Sony is slightly sharper, how much? I mean I'll pay the money if I need to. But I can use the savings to buy a DJI rs3 or something. I'd prefer a sharper image than getting the DJI but if it's splitting hairs, I won't bother. I mentioned this before, but I always watch your videos first anytime an embargo on a product lifts. Love your videos. You do an excellent job combining entertainment while still being detailed

Sigma is still heavy as fuck?

I think the real question is between the Sony 35 1.4 and Sigma 35 1.4 DN, you just skip them both and get the Sigma 24 1.4, take a step forward and save $$$. It’s almost same size and weight to GM 35. Why Sigma couldn’t make a smaller 35 1.4 is a question the universe may never know.

I just need 14mm 1.4 with 72 filter thread

Great video, Jason! I have the GM already, however if I had to choose......I could not. Both are awesome lenses and for me, Sigma have 157% upped their game.

I have sony Alpha a6600 camera which i use for cinematic videography and music videos and I'm a little confused which lens to buy whether to buy 24-105mm F4 or the 24-70mm F2.8 GM II?

It's amazing how good GM is cause it's much much older lens and is still better than that Sigma Art

Kinda off topic, but do you think we're getting new Sony APSC Cameras soon?

I rather and keep my sony 24mm GM, looks more sharp and doesn’t make a distortion and chromatic aberration like that sigma. Looks nice but Sony is Sony, period. Great comparison.

Just get a 24mm 1.4 GM second hand

Ah! First do not get in a hurry to get a very wide aperture lens keep saving your $ for your camera brand lens. All the video guys want the blur/bokeh but the super aperture uses the outside edges of the lens glass meaning it has to be perfect. Example as a Milky Way photographer I bought the Sigma 14mm f/1.8 and using at 1.8 there were many coma's as well as elongated stars only using at f/4 and 5.6 did they get better. You can look at charts photographed and will not see this. It is best to shoot at stars to see problems. Also when using the NPF rules you will shoot at faster shutter speeds vs a f/4 lens so there will be less time for light gathering at that great wide aperture everyone talks about. Remember you are at the edges of the lens glass and anything can be bad in the cutting. Also the aperture parts bokeh is in the number of blades the more the better. AF is a great thing with speed but you will find the maker of a camera tweaks' its lenses better. Bottom line Sony has been at it with mirrorless longer than the new mirrorless makers and every lens goes through a lot and only comes out when it is ready, you may have to wait some. If you have the ability just check out the E 10-18mm f4 OSS of 2013 a 15-27mm in APS-C but can be used in full frame mode from 12mm to 18mm (18mm if you remove the light shield). I used at 12mm for Milky Way way before a mention of a 12mm in full frame. Stars are sharp and no elongated stars at even 30s. This is how well made Sony lenses are from the beginning Sony took over from Minolta and before lenses for Full Frame cameras, even the Full Frame 2014 FE16-35mm f/4 and then the 2017 FE 12-24mm f/4 had perfect stars. All I am stating is the long time keeping things perfect vs a third party low cost version, You get what you pay for and never say Cheap it takes a lot to make. Compare also to the Canon FD 24mm f/1.4 also good at astro/landscape if you want low cost manual focus.

“Give you the Jason Vong quicky wicky “ is my new go to pick up line.

I’m not gonna lie, if I didn’t have the 24mm GM I would have definitely bought this instead! Sigma took forever for this one!

I want to get the Sony 24mm GMaster, but I have a feeling Sony might release a new one soon? Anyone have any thoughts?

New toy for astroooooo 🤩

I'll stick to the GM. A bit smaller and the 1.4 performance looks a bit cleaner across frame. The side by side color also looks nicer to me in the skin tones. 
And to be fair, used 24 GM can be found right around the $950-1000 so the price gap isn't as large.

Oh man, I was clear on getting the Sony 35mm f1.8 instead of the 24mm GM because of the price difference. But with this, I'm now back to being torn between the 35mm and this! Which one should I get to pair with my 85mm f1.8 for portrait photos?

Give us the contemporary 24mm 1.4 sigma. Just do it

id love to see a 50 1.2 competitor with similar competitive pricing. sigmas close focusing is so good, id love to see it

I was hoping that we would get a new E Mount 50mm since the old one is the size of a telescope. Two more wide angles, right after the last batch of wide angles...yawn.

Omg with this new update on the Sigma 24mm & 20mm lens. Then that means they’ll update the 50mm art lens too!!

Oh man… I just bought the sony 24mm… i feel I was ripped of now, when I see the price for the new sigma

I really like the idea to play back the focus tests in slow-mo. It really helps the comparison. Another great video, JV.

Sounds like the Sony is still unbeatable.

QUICKIE WIKI!!! LOL

The Sony looked sharper across the frame on those zoom-ins right after the corner test zooms. It was definitely sharper in the corners. I assume they both stop down to be sharp across the frame, though, so maybe not toooo relevant. Especially for a 24mm. It's a gorgeous looking lens too, good lawd. Wouldn't kick that puppy out of bed.

As usual, Sigma delivers like 95% of the performance at like 60% of the price. Great to have them always chipping away at that market share ⛏️⛏️

Awesome vid Jason. This lens looks beautiful and for someone that has used the 24mm gm, I really like the light weight and smaller size. But.... I do like more money in my pocket!! So tough to pick!
