    Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM Art

    Nov 27, 2018 4 minutes

    Full-frame DSLR and mirrorless camera users have a tough decision to make when choosing a standard zoom. Opt for one that covers a focal length of around 24-105mm with a maximum aperture of f/4 and you'll find there's a saving to be made over a 24-70mm f/2.8. What you save in cost and gain in having a bit more reach at the long end you lose in terms of maximum aperture though. If you're after a versatile zoom that performs as well in low light as it does creating a shallow depth of field wide open, a pro-spec 24-70mm f/2.8 is the way to go.

    The Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM Art replaces the ten-year-old Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 EX DG HSM
