Sigma 70-200mm size comparisons

Sony 70-200mm GMII vs the new Sigma 70-200mm and the Tamron 70-180mm

New Sigma lens preorders:
10-18mm f/2.8 at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama. Fotoerhardt. Fotokoch. WexUK.
70-200mm f/2.8 at BHphoto (preorders will open in December only!).

Asobinet diligently posted some accurate size comparisons. The Sigma is indeed is much bigger than the Sony 70-200mm GMII and double the size of the Tamron 70-180mm lens. Hopefully the Sigma is a stunner when it comes to optical quality so that we can forgive them for the massive size and weight!

Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8 E-mount review at Opticallimits

Preorders: Sigma 28-70mm at BHphoto. Adorama. FocusCamera.

Opticallimits tested the Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8 E-mount lens and concluded:

If you are looking for a fast, reasonably priced and very compact standard zoom for street photography or family events, the Sigma will tick a lot of boxes. It doesn’t deliver the ultimate in image quality, but if that’s your goal, you’ll have to invest quite a bit more.
