The Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG DN Art is a professional-grade standard zoom lens built specifically for Sony E-Mount full-frame mirrorless cameras. As a flagship member of Sigma’s Art line, it delivers exceptional optical performance across its entire zoom range, backed by a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture for outstanding low-light capability and precise depth-of-field control.
Engineered with six FLD elements, two SLD elements, and three aspherical elements, this lens virtually eliminates chromatic aberration and distortion from wide-angle to portrait lengths. Super Multi-Layer and Nano Porous Coatings ensure contrast-rich, color-neutral images even in demanding backlit conditions, while a dust- and splash-resistant construction keeps you shooting confidently on location.
Key features
- Constant f/2.8 aperture across the full 24-70mm zoom range enables superior performance in available light and beautiful shallow depth-of-field effects.
- Advanced optical formula — 6 FLD, 2 SLD, and 3 aspherical elements — eliminates chromatic aberration, color fringing, and distortion for razor-sharp, accurate imagery.
- Integrated stepping motor AF with an optimized algorithm delivers fast, quiet, and smooth autofocus ideal for both stills and video on Sony E-Mount bodies.
- Rounded 11-blade diaphragm produces aesthetically pleasing, creamy bokeh at close focus distances as short as 7.1 inches at the wide end.
- Super Multi-Layer and Nano Porous Coatings suppress flare and ghosting, maintaining rich contrast and neutral color rendition in backlit shooting scenarios.
- Dust- and splash-resistant brass bayonet mount with rubber sealing ensures reliable durability in harsh outdoor and professional environments.
