Zooming back to 24mm changes the overall feel of the image and makes it much more abstract. These red maple leaves are sharp and pop from the softened green bokeh blur background at 70mm at F2.8. Autofocus is extremely zippy in daylight, and is still quite responsive in very dim conditions so long as there’s a somewhat decent contrast edge to detect. And the brass lens mount and weather-sealing gasket feel sturdy and confident when pairing the lens with a DSLR. The front filter thread diameter is 82mm. There’s zero zoom creep to be witnessed even with rigorous shaking of the lens both at 24mm and 70mm. Optical Stabilizer and Manual/Auto/Manual Override switches are easily flicked with the left thumb while the lens and camera are at eye level. The barrel does extend, but does not rotate when moving out to 70mm. The one inch focusing ring is closer to the camera body, and the wide zoom ring rotates counterclockwise approximately 90º as it zooms from widest to longest focal length. In the hands, the 24-70mm F2.8 Art lens feels very similar to the 24-105mm F4 DG HSM | Art lens both in terms of size, weight and handling, and in overall fit and finish. And the foliage in the background is rendered a gorgeous blur thanks to nine rounded aperture blades and the new optical formula. We stopped down to F3.5 for just a hair’s more depth of field. On the focal plane, this is so sharp you can count the grains of pollen. Notice how shallow the depth of field is. And like all Sigma lenses, it is made in Japan at our Aizu factory-and each and every unit is individually tested on the A1 MTF device for sharpness and optical performance.Īt 70mm, I was able to stand over these lily flowers and focus on the edges of the flower. Wedding Pros, Photojournalists and any photographer who demand exceptional image sharpness and pleasing wide-aperture bokeh in the convenience of a relatively compact zoom package should be beyond pleased with this rock-solid new optic.

We’ve set the standards very high for ourselves with the three new lens lines, and this newest zoom in the Art series delivers on those expectations without compromise. The Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 DG OS HSM | Art is a serious overhaul of the the last generation 24-70mm F2.8 EX lens, which was itself a very highly regarded optic.
At 70mm, the composition is much tighter and the background is rendered more abstract. All images lightly toned in Adobe Camera Raw.

A footbridge is now more softened in the background as water loving flowers sit along the pond edge as seen at 50mm at F2.8 ISO 100 through the new Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 DG OS HSM | Art lens paired with a 6D.

SIGMA FP L FIRST IMPRESSIONS UPDATE
Sigma fans have been clamoring for an Art line update of the 24-70m F2.8 pretty much since the launch of the Sigma Global Vision lines a few years back, and the completely redesigned full-frame, fast constant Aperture standard zoom with Optical Stabilizer is now here and is already shipping to the first batch of lucky photographers all across the world.
