Please note this lens is known to let dust inside the glass. Doesnt affect the IQ but annoying as hell.
DG means full frame. DC means crop.

I own the Canon version of this lens and it is a powerhouse. Sharp in the entire range and well built. I use it for landscape photography.
Sigma doesn't make a mirrorless 24-70 for Canon (yet). So not really comparable between the two mounts in this case.

Quote from RelaxedCatfish4281 :
The Tamron 35-150 as a more complete lens is a valid argument specially if you factor in your photography style. If you take a look at the most popular prime lens focal length, only the 24mm will not be covered by the 35-150mm. It will cover the 35, 40, 50, 85, 100, 135, and 150. Add a wide angle zoom like a 16-35 or 24mm prime and you have a very complete lens lineup.
uhh and its twice as expensive as this sigma

Yes, it is a lot more expensive, however, if you're just starting and you don't have lenses yet, it might be more cost efficient if you plan it carefully because it covers more popular focal length. Another set-up to compare is this Sigma 24-70 ($900) + Tamron 70-180 ($1100) vs the 35-150 ($1900).

Great lens.
FYI for anyone with an older version of it - you can send it in and they replace the housing to the newer one which is supposedly better at keeping dust out. Just got mine back from them.
How long did it take?

Its backordered at the most sites which are authorized dealers. Here is an example...
https://www.adorama.com/tm2875vso...dl-gbase-p
Is it the same new version at amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Tamron-28-75mm-Mount-Limited-Warranty/dp/B09HMVJL47/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Tamro... [amazon.com]

Tamron g2 has faster auto focus and the Sony 24-70mm GM II is coming out soon. Just something to consider. At this price, this is a great lens. It does have dust issue s though.
Not faster, also the tamron is 28mm wide end, not 24. 70 and 75 isn't a huge different but 24 vs 28 is. Agree on the dust issue.

Something to consider for those interested. This lens is:
1. Mostly metal, weather sealed and very well build.
2. Very creamy bokeh for portraits.
3. Very close minimal focus distance to allow you to shoot 18cm away from the subject.

Tamron makes fine lens but they are all plastic. Sigma is just higher end.

This was my only lense on my a7III up until 2 weeks ago when I added the Samyang 85mm 1.4.

Very good lense, highly recommended. One owner emailed Sigma and Sigma said serial numbers starting with 55xxxxx has the dust issue resolved.

Mine is 54xxxxx. I haven't noticed any dusts in mine. Lense comes with a 4 year warranty so I'm not worried.

I don't know people's complaints, but in my case, it's super super even wide open at any zoom length. I used to have Tamron 28-75. After trying this lens, I gave up Tamron immediately. Now it's my on-to-go lens for most of my events.

I personally just plain found this lens too large to carry as someone who likes a minimal setup that encourages me to take it more places. I went with their new 2021 Sigma 28-70mm 2.8 instead, which is the smallest of its range at the loss of 4mm from the Art lens. I shoot video so for me, the Art's sharpness is not significant enough to justify hauling it around and paying higher for it.

Interesting choice. I'm looking at the Tamron 35-150mm too. I have this Sigma 24-70 that I'm planning to sell to get the 35-150. My set-up will be Zeiss 16-35 and Tamron 35-150. I might keep the 85 for it's small size and faster at f1.8.
I haven't really found too many situations where I need the 16-35 yet (don't really do landscape), but have found numerous situations where I take too long to swap my primes lol

Do you have the Sony 85/1.8? Grand bang for buck lens, one of my favs. Sharp and faster and very affordable
