So vote of sigma for you then!?

Retail, the Sigma is £100 cheaper. The £250 difference was on the used market (comparing both used). How much does price factor into which to choose hmm...

It's been difficult to find a lot of comparisons of the G2 and the Sigma 28-70 - theres more on the G1 Tamron. What do you tend to use to cover the 24mm? The Sigma is about £250 cheaper

Would you recommend the Tamron G2 over the Sigma 28-70 then? I'd love to be able to buy the GM II, I can dream! FYI I can get the Sigma for about 25-30% less in the UK used market than the G2. Not ...

I doubt you'll have an issue getting it into museums unless you fill the rolltop really high.

I think this would fit in the 21L but you'd have to put the 85mm in the top compartment. I'm not sure the 31L is that much bigger, although other posters do say the 31L is 'too big' and they downsize.

Did you explore the Tamron G2 when selecting the Sigma 28-70? I'm just curious why you picked it. I really need to try the Tamron 28-200...

So by that logic you'd pick the Tamron G2?

Hey, I am not sure why I never asked this but why do you prioritise centre sharpness over corners?

Gotcha, that's interesting. Do you miss the 28-200 but not the Sony 24-105 because it essentially has more reach?

Sorry, maybe I misunderstood. What don't you like about the 24-105?

Why do you not miss the 24-105?

Let me know once you've tried the Tamron!

Excellent advice. This Tamron 28-200 curve ball is going to add complications :D I think I'll lean towards the Tamron G2 for the AF and better IQ to be honest - its still a light compact lens.

So you pair the 28-75 with the Sony 20mm 1.8 G?

I think I'm going to have to give the Tamron 28-200 a shot sometime. So many people mention it as a lens. My use case for the midzoom was family events and day trips out etc. Normally for "real" ...

Thanks for sharing. I assume you've been ok without the 24mm then? If you use the 28-200 for travel, whats the 28-75 for? Sorry if you already said this, I'm replying on my phone.

I guess the 75mm over 70mm on the Sigma swings it for you then?

Any regrets on missing the 24mm wide end? Although if you used a pair of primes you might have been missing it anyway.

Lovely photos!
