Rent NowThe Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG DN II Art is a professional-grade standard zoom lens designed for Sony full-frame E-mount mirrorless cameras, serving as Sigma’s flagship update to the original 24-70mm f/2.8 DG DN Art. It’s aimed at wedding, portrait, event, and photojournalism photographers who need a fast, versatile standard zoom with top-tier optical performance in a more compact, lighter body than its predecessor.
Optically, the lens covers a 24-70mm focal range with a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture throughout the zoom, delivering high sharpness across the entire image even at maximum aperture. The 19-element, 15-group optical design incorporates six FLD (fluorite-like low dispersion) elements, two SLD (Special Low Dispersion) elements, and five aspherical elements, markedly reducing chromatic aberration and color fringing while improving control over sagittal coma flare for high resolution across the frame. Sigma’s Nano-Porous and Super Multi-Layer Coatings suppress ghosting and flare, and a rounded 11-blade diaphragm produces large, pleasing bokeh.
Autofocus is handled by Sigma’s newly developed HLA (High-response Linear Actuator), a linear motor delivering a maximum drive speed over three times faster than the previous generation’s autofocus system, along with minimized focus breathing for smooth, cinematic video work. The lens includes two customizable AFL (autofocus-lock) buttons along with an aperture ring featuring both a de-click function and a lock switch, giving photographers direct, tactile control options.
Build quality includes a dust- and splash-resistant structure along with a water- and oil-repellent coating on the front element, and the lens is approximately 7% smaller and 10% lighter than its predecessor, weighing approximately 735g and measuring 87.8 x 122.2mm. It has a minimum focusing distance of just 6.7 in. (17cm), yielding a maximum magnification of approximately 1:2.7 (0.37x), notably close for a standard zoom, and accepts an 82mm filter thread. The lens does not include optical image stabilization, relying instead on in-body stabilization on compatible Sony bodies with IBIS.
As a full-frame E-mount lens, the Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG DN II Art delivers its full angle of view (84.1°-34.3°) on Sony full-frame bodies while remaining compatible with Sony APS-C E-mount cameras at a narrower, telephoto-equivalent effective field of view.
