I was in the same position as you, the Sony f/2.8 was too expensive, and the Sony f/4 didn't have great reviews.
I ended up taking the plunge on a Tamron 28-75 f/2.8, I managed to pick one up second hand, and would rate it as decent alternative.

Yes, that was the other one on my list and seems to go for less than Sigma second hand. But reviews confused me whether G2 version was a significant improvement or not. I hate camera reviews...
The one previous Tamron lens I've had was great (thogh a macro/non-zooming, so not very similar).
A7 III is great so far at least. Wasn't expecting it to be quite such an improvement over A6500, but getting much better results with macro lens stuff.

Any recommendations for Sony full frame lenses I might not have thought of? Want one main general purpose lens to use for still + ocassional video. Ruling out Sony 24-70 2.8 on cost grounds. Might be able to stretch to second hand Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG DN Art, but it's higher end of what I can afford. An other suggestions?
