Description and Reviews
Key Take-Aways:
The Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 DG DN II Art is an updated standard zoom lens featuring improved HLA autofocus motor, aperture ring with de-click functionality, weather sealing, and 10% weight reduction to 735g while maintaining the same 19-element optical construction. Professional reviews praise its excellent sharpness across the frame, fast and silent autofocus, and comprehensive feature set at half the price of Sony’s GM II equivalent, while noting some barrel distortion at 24mm and slightly softer 70mm performance compared to competitors.
