As part of the Art line within Sigma`s Global Vision series, this lens is designed to achieve truly notable optical performance and is ideally suited for creative and artistic applications. Standard zoom lens is designed for full-frame Canon EF-mount cameras, however it can also be used with APS-C models where it will provide a 38.4-112mm equivalent focal length range. Constant f/2.8 maximum aperture is well-suited for working in available light conditions and also provides greater control over depth of field when using shallow depth of field techniques. Three Special Low Dispersion (SLD) elements markedly reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing throughout the zoom range for improved clarity and color accuracy. Four aspherical elements control spherical aberrations and distortion for increased sharpness and accurate rendering. A Super Multi-Layer Coating has been applied to lens elements in order to minimize lens flare and ghosting and contribute to producing contrast-rich and color-neutral imagery, even in backlit conditions. Integrated HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) realizes quick and quiet autofocus, which is further complemented by an optimized AF algorithm to produce smoother focusing performance. The HSM also permits full-time manual focus control simply by rotating the focus ring at any time. Optical Stabilizer system minimizes the appearance of camera shake by up to four stops to benefit making sharper imagery when shooting handheld. Rounded nine-blade diaphragm is constructed from durable, fluorine-coated polycarbonate and also features a carbon feather film for smooth performance when working with fast continuous shooting rates. Front lens element has been treated with a water- and oil-repellent coating to benefit working in harsh environmental conditions. Constructed using a Thermally Stable Composite (TSC) material for greater precision and use in wide temperature variations. Additionally, a brass bayonet affords improved mounting accuracy and rigidity. Additionally, rubber sealing is incorporated in the mount design to render it dust- and splash-resistant. This lens is compatible with the optional Sigma USB Dock for fine-tuning different lens characteristics and updating its firmware.

I was skeptical at first renting a Sigma versus a Nikon lens for my Z6 since I have no other experience with a Sigma lens in the past. I wanted to try the lens out during a recent wedding I captured and it was the perfect lens for the occasion. I loved it so much I decided to buy it instead of sending it back. Customer Service is amazing and made the entire process from originally renting to buying so easy. Will definitely rent from them again in the future.

So grateful for this team and their customer service! I needed a lens in a pinch for a big event during the crazy winter storm we just had and the lens I rented couldn't make it out of Memphis in time for me to use it for the event. The Lensrentals team did everything they could to find another option that worked for me and was already in Brentwood so I was able to do the shoot - could not have done it without this lens. BIG HUGE THANK YOU.

First, let me say that I was very excited about this lens when I first heard about it. The day is went up for preorder, I jumped on the internet and bought one, based solely on the positive reviews that Sigma's Art series of lenses has been getting. I have owned (still do, in fact) several older Sigma lenses, and they are ok, but definitely not professional quality, so I couldn't wait to see what all the fuss was about with Sigma's newer lenses. I somehow got my copy less than a week after preorder opened; the store I bought it from, to this day, still lists the lens as alternatively back-ordered or unavailable, so maybe I got the only copy they had. So, like a kid in a candy store, I ripped it out of the box and sat and stared in awe.

I somehow got my copy less than a week after preorder opened; the store I bought it from, to this day, still lists the lens as alternatively back-ordered or unavailable, so maybe I got the only copy they had. So, like a kid in a candy store, I ripped it out of the box and sat and stared in awe. Unfortunately, I then took a picture with it. A week later, heartbroken, I returned it - I waited over a month for a replacement, then gave up and cancelled the order entirely once I started seeing other people's reviews backing up my findings. I will try to explain.... First Impressions: This lens is a beauty, no doubt about it. Hands down, the most beautiful camera lens I have ever owned. It's big, it's heavy, its made of shiny metal, textured plastic, and soft rubber in all the right ways and places. When you put it on your camera, it really looks like you mean business. It's also packaged really well, in a very nice box (much nicer even then Nikon's hilariously expensive 24-70 VR), and comes with a very well made lens hood, caps, and soft case. Really, it's a testament to the attention Sigma is paying to design with their products. In operation, the awesomeness continues. It has weathersealing around the bayonet, so when it clicks firmly into place, it stays there. Other, cheaper, lenses wobble a bit (yes, even Nikons), but this guy feels like it becomes one with the camera. The zoom is solid and well-damped, and VERY quiet (none of that whispy sound you can sometimes get, like plastic rubbing on plastic). Likewise, the zoom ring turns easily with one finger but stays put when you leave it be. Autofocus is super quiet; maybe, in fact, the most silent focus I have ever used - even during video mode, all you really get from the in-camera mic is a soft whoosh-whoosh sound, really amazing. The switches are a little tough to operate, but this can be forgiven as they blend so seamlessly into the body that you can forget they are there. Shooting: I will put a disclaimer on the rest of this review: It is entirely possible that I got some sort of defective copy. In fact, I very much HOPE I got a defective copy. I will also add that I tried this lens on a D5100, a D7100, a D500, and a D800, so please don't assume it was my camera that was the problem. In fact, I noticed varying degrees of defectiveness based on which camera I used, the worst being on the D5100 and D800, the most tolerable on the D500. In short, your experience may vary, and that is a pretty big problem - when it comes to lenses in the $1300+ range, no one's experience should vary! These lenses should have the tightest tolerances and most demanding QC tests so that the professionals buying them can just hook them on their camera and go, not worrying about AF fine-tune and off-plane and decentered focusing. Anyway, here's the rest of the review... So, the first thing you might notice is that the lens is nice and bright. The next thing you may notice is that it doesn't seem to know how to focus. And I don't mean it hunts a little, or just misses every so often, or is even just a little soft. This lens misses focus EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. After being surprised and disappointed by the first batch of photos I took, I set up my focus chart and used the AF fine tune to try to get it right. On the D800, the worst of them all, I had it pegged at -20 (the highest adjustment possible) and it was still out of focus. The D500 was marginal at -15, but would randomly be out of focus every third or fouth shot. The D7100 actually did pretty well, requiring a -8, but the D5100 has no AF fine tune feature, and was therefore completely unusable with this lens (unless you are shooting exclusively in live-view or video). Once you get some focus, you may be alarmed to find it focuses pretty slowly, and not all confidently; this is particularly noticeable in low-light or backlight. For a wedding photographer, this is a major problem. I need lenses that focus as fast as I can push the shutter, and stay that way. Even in bright sunlight, this lens was unable to keep up with the constant AF of the D500 at 10 frames per second. I own a Sigma 50-150 from a few years ago that can do this with no problem, so why can't a brand new lens perform this trick? Image Quality: A few positives: Contrast and color rendition are superb, once focused. Skin tones are rendered perfectly, and bright colors don't seem to exhibit any shift or bloom. No chromatic aberration was visible, and this is BEFORE any kind of Lightroom lens calibration was available to automatically remove CA. Compared to the Nikon 24-70 VR, CA control is amazing on this lens. Bokeh is also quite good, better than any other mid-zoom I have used (and yes, better than Nikon's flagship, but just by a hair). More negatives: Once I got the focus thing more or less controlled, I took some more test shots and was astonished to find images that were sharp in the center were out of focus on the left side and right side! It is almost like the focal plane was at a slight angle to the sensor, so that the left side was back-focused while the right side was front-focused (and the center stayed true). It was the most evident on the D800, you maybe even be able to see it in the sample shot of the brick wall. It's not a pleasant blur, either, but more of a smear that renders those out of focus areas in a distracting way. And it was like this in every photo. Essentially, this one problem completely ruined the lens for me - it would be completely useless for anything besides photographs of small objects that fill less than 1/3 of the frame, held in the center of the frame - what photographer does that?? Landscapes are out of the question, as you need edge-to-edge sharpness for that to work, and this lens was incapable of doing that. To make matters worse, corner sharpness, even on crop-sensor DX bodies, is a complete joke (and is downright hilarious on the full-frame D800) - in fact, its so bad that you can see it even on 4x6 prints of images taken with the D800. It gives all your photos a strange, hipster-esque effect like they were taken with some cheap lens from the 60's. Final Verdict: I tried to get past these problems, thinking maybe, just maybe, if I stepped it down to F/8 it would fix everything! Nope. At some focal lengths, stepping down actually made the off-plane focus problem worse, and the entire field was useless around 50mm. OS on vs OS off didn't make any difference either. So, finally, after two weeks of working with it, I gave up and sent it back. I REALLY wanted to love this lens; I thought, in fact, that this would be the last 24-70 I would have to buy, so confident was I in Sigma's Art designation and their media releases regarding the quality and craftsmanship of this lens. At first, I just wanted an exchange - send me another, it will probably be better! After a month of waiting for a back-ordered replacement, however, I gave up and started looking for another solution.
Don't get me wrong, this lens looks good for the price. I wanted to save some money from buying the Canon 24-70, but I realized quickly that I would not like the placement of the zoom/focus rings on this lens. The focus ring is closest to the camera and the zoom ring is on the very front, which makes it difficult to maneuver the zoom ring if you have a follow focus setup on there. It just doesn't feel right to me. I'm sure you would get use to it, but I am just gonna get the canon because the rings are opposite and it feels more natural to me. Other than that the lens feels and looks pretty great. If you're ok with that (and the two rings being soo close to each other) I'd say it's a good value lens.
I just got my Sigma art 24-70mm f/2.8 lens in a tested it out. I was very impressed with the quality of it.. basically brand new. I believe it was a factory refurbished model, but damn it's clean. Very nice build quality, pretty heavy, and produces a clean image. I'd have to say it's to be expected for this price range of lens. It's much better than the Rokinon lenses I have. Chromatic abortions around the highlights are looking way cleaner, I love having some zoom flexibility, and the constant aperture is perfect for my needs. I shoot a lot of video and usually resort to manual focus, but sometimes I take photos and need that autofocus to make the job easier (and to compete in the market). I am working with a Lumix gh5 with a metabones speedbooster, so the ... MoreI just got my Sigma art 24-70mm f/2.8 lens in a tested it out.

I am working with a Lumix gh5 with a metabones speedbooster, so the autofocus is not super quick or deadly accurate but it beats no auto focus at all. I'm confident I will be able to capture almost anything except sports or anything with quick movement. Pop this baby on a native EF body and it will most likely boost it's AF performance. Other than that, I'm happy with my purchase. OIS is hella smooth, the mount fit is snug, and the image is clean. Definitely a game changer.
I pre-ordered this lens less than a minute after it was available and received it fairly quickly hoping that it was the lens I was hoping for the last 4 years. I have a Sigma 35mm Art on my Canon 6D and it never comes off my camera I love it so much. When I got this lens I took it out for landscape photos and events and first thing that hit me was the girth of the lens, think 70-200mm f/2.8 IS in width and it is a hefty lens easily upsetting the balance of a FF body but not a big deal if the lens is amazing. Sharpness is poor(24mm and 70mm), compared to my 24-105mm f/4 IS mkI, it is significantly softer at any aperture up to f/5.6 after that, sharpness increases linearly up to f/8 at which point it is tack sharp. Focusing was on point for this lens right out of the ... MoreI pre-ordered this lens less than a minute after it was available and received it fairly quickly hoping that it was the lens I was hoping for the last 4 years.

Focusing was on point for this lens right out of the box, I have had issues with Sigma lens focusing problems but this lens performed well, focusing from infinity did result in poorer focusing performance(2mm @ 1m) than focusing from MFD consistently, but not terrible. Chromatic aberration and distortion are VERY well controlled. Optical Stabilization is NOT 4 stops, my low light shots were consistently sharp at 2.66 stops, so even with a 1 stop aperture advantage my 24-105mm can still take pictures in lower light than this lens handheld(for still subjects, one of the reasons I wanted the Sigma was for street photography). One of the quirks was that even at 1/100-1/60s I was getting blurry shots, I mounted the camera to a tripod but I could not replicate the issue, I don't know if the OS was occasionally over compensating for hand motion and the slower shutter speeds allowed for it to show. After a week with the lens, I found that Lensrentalscom had tested 10 copies of this lens and found exactly what I had found out in my week of testing, this lens is not very sharp compared to other 24-70mm out there and that the OS was not up to the 4 stops that was claimed. To quote them I'd probably feel better about it if it didn't have 'Art' on the label. I had to return my copy of this lens due to the sheer fact there is better glass out there for similar prices.
I recently ordered one of these lenses and found it provided unacceptable focusing results on two different Canon full frame DSLR's. B&H return/exchange policy is great, as they took this first lens back with no trouble and sent a second one. The second one was worse with clunking noises from when the image stability system turned on and off. Focusing on this one didn't seem significantly different. Focus issues don't exist with any of my other lenses. Interestingly, the serial numbers of these two lenses were three units apart. Maybe a bad day on the assembly line or something. Hard to gauge, but these two lenses were an absolute disappointment. I have enjoyed a different Sigma lens for years and expected more. While the two lenses were duds, I have nothing but ... MoreI recently ordered one of these lenses and found it provided unacceptable focusing results on two different Canon full frame DSLR's.

I use this lens on a canon r5 body and obviously use an adapter with it. The automatic functions are still super fast and I don't even notice a difference there. Sigma art lenses create images that are bit more contrasty than my canon lenses, but that's actually something I like. Over all I'm really liking it and glad I bought it.
its been one year of using it.. and the results are awefully inconsistent regarding focus, never had issues with other canon lenses before until this .... &%) came in my hands. the inconsistent focus is a really serious flaw, really messing up my work like no other lens. it is sad to encounter out of focus after you took the photo and when editing. i really hate it and im considering selling it back so i can buy a better piece of equipment. this literally has caused me to lose money.
