So Ive been shooting with primes for ages but I just landed this gig for a big outdoor festival next weekend and honestly my 35mm and 85mm setup is gonna kill me with all the lens swapping in the dust. I need a solid all-rounder zoom that wont make me lose too much sharpness because I usually hate zooms but Im in a pinch here. Looking for something that covers the standard range but maybe a bit wider?
- Budget: under 1200 bucks preferably
- Timeline: need it by Thursday for a shoot in Philly
- Must have: constant f2.8 aperture
- Use case: fast paced music festival
Should I just grab the Tamron 28-75 G2 or is the Sigma 24-70 really worth the extra weight if Im running around all day? Help a prime snob out...

I suggest the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2.
- Constant f/2.8
- 540g mass Be careful, the Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG DN Art weight might cause fatigue during long festival shoots.
