A versatile zoom for everyday shooting, the Canon EF-mount Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM Art Lens Canon EF Sony E Kitfrom Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM Art Lens Canon EF Sony E Kitcovers a useful wide-angle to portrait-length range of focal lengths to suit shooting in a variety of environments. As part of the esteemed Art series of lenses, a sophisticated optical design is used that incorporates three SLD elements and four aspherical elements to reduce chromatic and spherical aberrations, as well as color fringing, distortions, and other anomalies for greater clarity and sharpness. A Super Multi-Layer Coating has also been applied to suppress lens flare and ghosting for accurate color fidelity and high contrast, and a protective coating has been applied to the front element, too, to benefit working in harsh climates. Additionally, extending its versatility, a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture affords consistent performance throughout the zoom range as well as greater control over depth of field.

Complementing the imaging capabilities, the lens sports a Hyper Sonic Motor to produce quick, smooth, and quiet autofocus performance with full-time manual focus override. An Optical Stabilizer also benefits handheld shooting by minimizing the appearance of camera shake for sharper imagery. The physical design utilizes Thermally Stable Composite material for durability in a wide range of environments, and a brass bayonet mount also offers rigidity and mounting precision.

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.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is this lens compatible with a Nikon D5600 body? I've purchased the DG HSM (not art) model and the AF does not work.

A: Yes, the Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM Art Lens for Nikon F is compatible with the Nikon D5600 body.

Q: 2. Does this lens have a macro setting?

A: The Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM Art Lens has a minimum focus distance of 1.21 feet, 1:4.8 macro reproduction and 0.21x maximum magnification. It would not be considered a good lens for macro use. In general 24-70mm zooms are not made for macro use.

Q: 3. I see reviews - is it out now?

A: it was released late June. Existing orders were fulfilled. No one has had it in stock since then, including Sigma. I'm waiting myself. I contacted Sigma 8/24 (the same day B&H said they expected to have the lens), they said more were coming next week. But who knows how many B&H will get, and if you have already ordered like me it depends what number you are on the back order list. I'd say we're still three to six weeks out before the lens is generally available at minimum. Only a guess at this point.

Q: 4. Which adapter should I use to be able to mount this on Sony FX9?

A: You may purchase the Sigma MC-11 Mount Converter/Lens Adapter (Sigma EF-Mount Lenses to Sony E), B&H # SIMC11C, the Metabones Canon EF/EF-S Lens to Sony E Mount T Smart Adapter (Fifth Generation), B&H # MEMBEFEBT5, or the Vello Canon EF/EF-S Lens to Sony E-Mount Camera Auto Lens Adapter, B&H # VELAESECEF, to connect the Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM Art Lens for Canon EF to the E-mount on the Sony PXW-FX9 XDCAM 6K Full-Frame Camera.

Q: 5. Does B&H carry the newer dust resistant versions w serial # beginning with 5504xxxx? I understand this lens was reworked Dec 2020

A: The information we have from Sigma is this is the latest version.

Q: 6. When is this lens going to be released? Does anybody have info about it?

A: June 22.

Q: 7. If I use this on a small mirrorless camera with an EF to EOS M speedbooster or adapter, will I get to keep the AF and IS?

A: Fully compatible and functional with this adapter: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/883406-REG/Canon_6098b002_EF_M_Lens_Adapter_Kit.html

Q: 8. Would anyone recommend this lens for indoor sports like volleyball?

A: This is a great lens for a variety of subject matters, but the reach of a 24-70mm lens is relatively short. In situations where your subject matter might be further away, this lens might not be long enough. It has the largest possible aperture in a full-frame zoom lens, and performs well in low-light, and in your could be perfect for group shots, images of the volleyball court, portraits of the players, etc.

Q: 9. Does the os work when lens is adapted?

A: It depends on which adapter. Sigma, Canon or Metabones adpaters provides full electronic comunications. However Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM Art Lens for Canon EF has its optical stabilization built in system that minimizes the appearance of camera shake by up to four stops.

Q: 10. Is it weather-sealed?

A: Yes
