Sigma 24 70mm f 2 8 dg dn ii art vs sony fe 24 50mm f 2 8 g?

Both are f/2.8 zooms for full frame, both autofocus, and neither is listed as stabilised. The main difference is reach. The Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG DN II Art goes to 70mm, which covers more of the standard range for portraits, events and walking around. It also fits both Sony E and L-Mount bodies.

The Sony FE 24-50mm f/2.8 G stops at 50mm and fits only Sony E cameras. It's the more limited choice, and it makes more sense if you want the Sony name or your shooting stays inside that shorter range.

If you're on a Sony full frame body and want one standard zoom, I'd go with the Sigma for the extra reach at the same aperture. The site doesn't list prices or weights for these two, so check those before you buy. For why a constant f/2.8 matters, see aperture.
