Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM Lens for Canon EF-mount

The Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM lens, compatible with Canon EF-mount and belonging to the esteemed Art series, is a versatile zoom lens suitable for everyday shooting. Covering a wide-angle to portrait-length range of focal lengths, it adapts well to various environments. Its sophisticated optical design incorporates three SLD elements and four aspherical elements, effectively minimizing chromatic and spherical aberrations, colour fringing, distortions, and other anomalies, resulting in superior clarity and sharpness. With a Super Multi-Layer Coating, lens flare and ghosting are suppressed, ensuring accurate colour reproduction and high contrast. Moreover, a protective coating on the front element enhances durability, making it suitable for use in harsh climates. The constant f/2.8 maximum aperture provides consistent performance and greater control over depth of field throughout the zoom range, further enhancing its versatility.

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 Stabiliser 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 colour fringing throughout the zoom range for improved clarity and colour 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 colour-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 stabiliser 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.
