I decided to keep on with my 16-35 PZ lens and for work stuff like events just grab a Sigma 28-70 2.8 to use. I have still several working gigs coming up so I needed something in that mid range. Ive pretty much tried everything else and really did not want to spend too much money. Im on retirement path.
With this addition I would have
Sony 16-35 F4 PZ
Sigma 28-70 2.8
Samyang 75 1.8 which I have yet to even shoot. May sell it
Sony 70-200 II
A7R5
ZV 1 with 16-50 for shit hit the fan
But im am curious how this Sigma 28-70 is . It will be for certain an event lens. My 16-35 is the travel, street lens
I got the Sigma 28-70 about two weeks ago to try out. I did it after reading about five reviews that said it was optically superior to the Tamron. Some of the reviews also talked about the rendering and colors being good, which is important to me.
The short story is that I like the lens a lot. I think its rendering and colors are excellent and it is sharp. I think Sigma made an excellent set of compromises by making it 28mm instead of 24mm. The lens is light and compact. though not as light and compact as your PZ 16-35, which is a superb lens, but the Sigma is f2.8. Having both of them makes a lot of sense to me.
I got mine because the middle range is where I take almost all of my pictures and I wanted a lens that could make excellent images and that was convenient to carry and use, both for seeing my grandchildren and for travel.
I am very happy with it and plan to keep it. It makes very high quality images and gets to be in your hand when you want it to be.
