A new addition to Sigma’s high-quality ‘Art’ range, this 24-70mm f2.8 DG OS HSM lens is a versatile everyday zoom, suitable for virtually everything from wide and sweeping landscapes to tightly cropped portraits. A large maximum aperture of f2.8 increases the versatility of the lens as well as aiding low light performance and depth of field control. Worthy of the ‘Art’ moniker, this lens is an excellent optical performer, thanks to the inclusion of three SLD and four Aspherical elements in the construction, as well as Sigma’s Super Multi-Layer coating which improves colour accuracy and contrast.
A high-quality zoom lens suitable for leaving on the front of your camera for the majority of your day to day photography, is this Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 DG OS HSM Art. The versatile wide to long zoom range is a favourite for many on the go photographers and travellers, being suitable for landscapes and sceneries, as well as portraits and cropped detail shots. With its fast f2.8 constant maximum aperture this lens can make the most of what light is available, allowing you to shoot handheld where you would once need a tripod, a feature further emphasised by the inclusion of an Optical Stabiliser.
Whether your subjects are still or moving, the Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 Art lens will manage to quickly and smoothly find and maintain focus. The discrete fashion in which the lens achieves this focus makes it ideal for exploring the possibilities of the High Definition video recording that is available on most modern DSLR cameras. Fitting for an Art series lens, the 24-70mm is compact and lightweight enough for everyday use, while maintaining a rigid and sturdy build quality, with thanks to the Thermally Stable Composite material utilised in the construction and the brass bayonet mount.
