If you shoot with an APS-C camera and are looking for a quality wide angle at a reasonable price, the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM Art lens is one of the best third-party options available. The best Sigma wide angle zoom for APS-C cameras. Great for both professionals and advanced amateurs. The takeaway? The Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 Art lens is an excellent performer at its price point and a very reasonable alternative to the more expensive first-party options.

The Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR is both heavier and considerably more expensive. I haven’t tried the Canon, but from all accounts, the Sigma 24-70mm is close if not equal in quality. The Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 comes in both DSLR and Mirrorless versions, with the mirrorless version having very little direct competition in the same price range.įor Canon EF, the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM is lighter, but a third of the price more. That might not seem like much, but it can make a huge difference when shooting landscapes or other subjects that require a wider angle. The Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 FE is a lot smaller than the Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8, but there you lose the ability to open up to 24mm. It’s also almost half the price of both of these lenses.

Still, it’s a bit smaller and lighter than the Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 G Master and the Panasonic LUMIX S Pro 24-70mm f/2.8, its primary mirrorless competition. The focal range, high brightness, and solid construction make this lens necessarily a bit large and heavy. It’s easily fixed in post, but it’s definitely there.Īnother main con with this lens is the size and weight. One weakness with this lens is that the vignetting can get pretty noticeable when the lens is wide open. It’ll be more noticeable if you shoot in JPGs. In fact, you won’t see any if you shoot in RAW and use lens correction in your software. There’s very little distortion, and what does exist, can be quite easily managed in post. If you focus on the corners, however, the problem goes away.

If you’re someone who focuses on the center and then recomposes, you might end up with slightly soft corners while wide open (due to field curvature). (Obviously, it won’t match what a prime lens can do.) The sharpness in the center is consistent throughout its zoom range, even wide open at its maximum aperture of f/2.8. Overall, the sharpness is what you’d expect from a pro-level zoom lens. The bokeh is particularly nice, especially considering this is an f/2.8 lens. Colors come out bright and nicely contrasty. The image quality holds its own, especially for its price point. The overall autofocus performance will depend on what camera body you’re using – but in general, the Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 responds as quickly as any first-party lens. The autofocus is generally quick and accurate and can be dialled in even more perfectly when fine-tuned with Sigma’s USB dock. Like the other Art lenses, the Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 also includes Sigma’s trademark hyper sonic motor (HSM).

The build quality of this Sigma lens, though, is definitely built to take the demands of a professional workflow, especially in terms of usability and durability. Many pros rely on their 24-70mm for a huge part of their workflow and often avoid third-party lenses thinking they won’t hold up. It has weather sealing, nearly all-metal construction, and where it’s not metal it’s built from a thermally-stable composite material, which lets you shoot in a wide variety of temperatures. There’s also an additional protective coating on the front element.Īs with all the Sigma Art lenses, the construction of the 24-70mm f/2.8 is pro level. Sigma also applied a super multi-layer coating to suppress lens flare and ghosting. These reduce distortion and color fringing, as well as help to limit spherical and chromatic aberrations. Inside, the Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 has three SLD elements and four aspherical elements. At the telephoto end of the focal range, the high brightness makes for some excellent background blur. The constant maximum aperture of f/2.8 and image stabilization allows you to work handheld in lower light. The Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 hits that sweet spot of focal range, being wide enough for landscape and interior shots, yet narrow enough to get in some high-quality portraits. If you’re looking for a close-in zoom lens that has pro-quality but is far more affordable than its competitors, you’ll want to check out the Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG Art lens.
