According to our camera lens expert
The Sigma 24-70 mm f/2.8 DG DN Art Sony is suitable for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. With this versatile lens for professional photographers, you can take portrait, landscape, and report photos. The lens is light-sensitive thanks to the large aperture of f/2.8, which allows you to photograph in dark conditions. You also create a natural bokeh with this aperture number, so your subject stands out from the background. You can quickly and silently focus on your subject with the accurate autofocus stepping motor. The special lens elements reduce aberrations for optimal sharpness and brightness. In addition, the multi-layer coating prevents glare and light reflections from the sun. The dust proof and splash proof design allows you to use the lens in different weather conditions.

Now that Sony has finally released its firmware for other developers, you see an enormous growth in quality of lenses from other parties, including Sigma. Sigma has always stood for affordable quality, and has always managed to match or exceed Sony in terms of sharpness, for example. Yet Sigma (and a range of other brands) often missed the mark in terms of focus and some small details, partly because Sony wanted to keep their software exclusive, this is different now!
The new 24-70 mm f/2.8 from Sigma offers everything, but then really everything you can expect from a 24-70 mm. Because it is a 'native' lens, it is razor-sharp, has a bizarrely good focus and a fine 'focal length' and is a super bright lens due to the large aperture, so also extremely suitable in the dark. All these pluses come with a negative edge, your lens is heavier than an average prime lens, but that makes sense. Because the lens does not zoom internally, but changes length when zooming, you notice a shift in weight, so that photos at a low shutter speed (often in a dark environment) can be shaken, also because the lens itself does not have a stabilizer. Nowadays a body can often compensate for this with an internal stabilizer, so in itself the problem is not that bad.
If you are in doubt between the Sony G-Master 24-70 mm f/2.8 and Sigma ART 24-70 mm f/2.8, stop hesitating now and buy the Sigma. For half the money you get a better and also newer lens, which is equipped with all comforts. Attached is a photo taken with this lens with an A7M3, with specifications: ISO100, 1/40, 70MM at f/2.8.
