Well, it's impossible to review that Sigma lens without comparing it to the Canon.

    One thing most people dont know, is that the canon is almost perfect parfocal, where as the sigma is not at all. So for video the canon is just magic, you focus once on 24mm and when you zoom in to 105 its still pretty much in focus. Same goes for the 70-200 f4 is.

    Chris, I don't know what would be the life without your reviews. Thanks for what you do!
  • @yojoeo9067
    Respect for these videos man, God bless!
  • @skillenm
    Hi Chris, I always enjoy your reviews, your one of the best on lens reviews and comparisons. You forgot to mention that the Canon 24-105L lens has Dustproof and Waterproof Sealing. Great video Keep up the great work = )
  • @BaoNguyen-iv1zx
    I've been eyeballing this lens for so long and finally bought it thanks to your thorough review! You're the man thanks!

    thankyou. I had the Sigma on a d750 for 6 years, and it made great pictures, but i got rid of it last week, fed up of it being so heavy, Also, after being dropped off the bike, the camera survived untouched, but the lens snapped off at the mount. Thankfully, Sigma was able to repair it no problem, but a year later it jammed and had to go back, and when returned it was like new. God will bless you and yours too!

    Always an excellent review from Christopher. Cheers.

    I love your narration and review style! There's nothing pretentious or narcissist about your approach of these lenses and your observations are very refreshing.
  • @Terahspidgeon
    I intended to mention this when I first read your comment about having proposed a month earlier, and my sincerest apologies for the late response to that announcement! Congratulations!!! May the both of you have a long and fruitful life :)
  • @Stop-All-War
    Sigma are so underrated & now with the Fp/Fp-L cameras, also from Sigma, it's a win win purchase for hi-res photography.
  • @AndreaCrobu
    Thank you for the lovely video This is a remarkably well done review: honest, precise and straight to the point. I've just bought the Sigma for video making :-)
  • @quirky524

  • @tintin69rr
    Another great review of the next lens I need in my kit 👍👍👍
  • @NorbertBilbault
    Congratulation Christopher for all your videos and your recent wedding! I'm a great fan, just one remark : in your sharpness testings, you always shoot the same building. No problem with that, but did you notice their is often a part of the roof in the top corners of your frame ? It obviously change the focusing plan, and increases softness, don't you think?
  • @lozleo
