One of the most common questions i've been asked recently is whether new Panasonic S5 owners should go for the Panasonic 24-105 F4 or the Sigma 28-70 F2.8 for the L-Mount.

So, instead of typing a lengthy reply each time I'm asked that question, I decided to make a video on it.

In this video, I compare the Sigma 28-70 and the Panasonic 24-105 based on all of their strengths and weaknesses, including weight, size, image stabilisation and versatility.

If you're looking to upgrade your kit lens, then chances are both of these lenses have crossed your mind at least once.

I hope you get some useful info from this video, and just know that both of them are absolutely superb options for your Panasonic S5, S1, S1H and S1R.

Thanks for watching!
