Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a standard zoom lens for my Sony FE camera and have narrowed it down to these two:
> Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2
> Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8 DG DN Contemporary

I’ve read that the Tamron has better weather sealing, while the Sigma is smaller and lighter. Those differences don’t really matter to me.

What I’m really interested in is image quality and autofocus. Is one lens actually better in terms of sharpness, contrast, rendering, AF performance, and overall optical quality?

Or are they so close that it doesn’t make much difference in real-world use?

I’d especially love to hear from people who have owned or used both lenses.

Thanks!
