    Sigma AF 24-70mm f/2.8 IF EX DG HSM is a auto focus prime zoom lens for full frame cameras.

    Optical design

    It is a ring-type ultrasonic motor designed to provide quick and silent focusing. Has 9 aperture blades, with this amount of aperture blades you will be satisfied with the result. Bright lens thanks to the high aperture value

    Physical characteristics

    Weights 790 grams so it is a heavy lens, consider using its own lens bag. With a lens filter diameter of 82 mm lens filters in this range can be expensive, purchase lens - and filter - only if you plan to keep them for long time, make a try with used ones. 94 mm long, requires consideration if you want to carry in the camera bag.

    A Top Macro Macro Lens!5.0/5

    A Top Macro Macro Lens! The Sigma 70mm f2.8 DG EX macro is among the best 4 best macro lenses in the world: Canon 100mm f2.8L IS, Nikon 105mm f2.8 VR Micro and probably the sharpest one Sigma 150 f2.8 DG EX macro. Sigma 70mm f2.8 EX DG (special color corrected multi-coating and designed for any format APS or full-frame sensors) is absolutely sharp with great "bokeh" for macro shots and also portraits (sometimes too sharp for portraits). It fits very well in the APS cameras as a 100 or 112mm macro for that perfect distance in flowers & insects shots or as a super fast portrait lens. Fitted in a full-frame you'll get a great all purpose macro, landscape, portrait lens. I have had them all and I kept the 70mm and 150mm Sigmas. Since them I'm always ready for any kind of product, portrait and macro shooting. I'm a professional photographer based in NYC with 3 decades of experience.

    Better than expected!5.0/5

    Better than expected! Highly recommended to me by a trusted professional photographer and friend. I wanted to purchase the best quality lens for shooting close up music videos of performers. This was the perfect lens for the task and the quality exceeded my expectations both in build and video capture! LOVE IT!

    Great Value5.0/5

    Great Value This is a great lens for the price and sharp! I have not used a Nikon 24-70mm but I don’t need to after owning this. Maybe when I am making more money I’ll check out the Nikon. Until then this will be just fine. It is a bit heavy and I wish it had a 77mm thread instead of 82mm. I think it is possible to achieve exceptional results with this lens. It suffers a bit of vignetting in the corners and barrel distortion but any problem like that is easily fixed when processing the RAW file. I’m sure the Nikon probably edges it out in overall edge-to-edge sharpness but I’m happy with what I can capture with this lens, with money to spare for filters and accident coverage.

I own 3 other primes, but the reviews about the zooms had me cautious. I have shot the Canon 24-70 (both versions) as well as the 24-105 f/4. The Sigma 24-70 f/2.8 Art OS lens is remarkable. On my 5Ds it had incredibly accurate focus points, and I love how the contrast and color renditions give it a very different feel than the army of Canon lenses. (More neutral color, slightly more contrasts) \n\nCons: it is heavy. Like, 85mm f/1.2 heavy. I definitely feel the difference in my shoulders and back after a day of shooting. The zoom ring is firm, which in the long term for the lens is probably better, but it takes some getting used to. The focus ring is thin, and it’s still taking me some hunting to find it while shooting. \n\nI’ve managed camera stores, run rental departments, and shot nearly every lens and body in the Canon lineup. This is a remarkbable lens that exceeds expectation, and is at least an equal to any other lens in this zoom range. I don’t get the negativity exhibited in so many of the reviews I had read. \n\n(Included the only image I have really shot that wasn’t for a client so far...)Read full review","reviewer":"An amazing piece of glass... if a bit heavy ","rating":5},{"review":"Great Quality, Perfect Condition I just got my Sigma art 24-70mm f/2.8 lens in a tested it out. I was very impressed with the quality of it.. basically brand new. I believe it was a factory refurbished model, but damn it's clean. Very nice build quality, pretty heavy, and produces a clean image. \n\nI'd have to say it's to be expected for this price range of lens. It's much better than the Rokinon lenses I have. Chromatic abortions around the highlights are looking way cleaner, I love having some zoom flexibility, and the constant aperture is perfect for my needs. \n\nI shoot a lot of video and usually resort to manual focus, but sometimes I take photos and need that autofocus to make the job easier (and to compete in the market). I am working with a Lumix gh5 with a metabones speedbooster, so the autofocus is not super quick or deadly accurate but it beats no auto focus at all. I'm confident I will be able to capture almost anything except sports or anything with quick movement. \n\nPop this baby on a native EF body and it will most likely boost it's AF performance. \n\nOther than that, I'm happy with my purchase. OIS is hella smooth, the mount fit is snug, and the image is clean. Definitely a game changer.\n\nRead full review","reviewer":"Great Quality, Perfect Condition","rating":5},{"review":"Fast and Clear If you want to compare this lens with one that is twice the price, go ahead. For the rest of us that needs to do the job and able to produce a quality product, this lens is for you. Very sharp and quick focus. Problem that is not really a problem is it's weight.
