The SIGMA 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN II | Art is SIGMA's flagship lens that has evolved significantly from the previous model by incorporating the most advanced technologies available to SIGMA from design to production. Compared to the previous SIGMA 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN | Art, the SIGMA 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN II | Art has improved resolving power throughout the entire zoom range, and also benefits from functional enhancements such as the addition of an aperture ring and high-speed AF with a redesigned AF motor, HLA (High-response Linear Actuator). The lens is also approximately 7% smaller and 10% lighter. This 24-70mm F2.8 Art zoom is a versatile and high-performance tool that will help photographers and filmmakers unlock their creative potential.Rendering performance worthy of the flagship nameThe SIGMA 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN II | Art is the successor to the SIGMA 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN | Art, which is known for its high optical performance, and has further improved resolution throughout the zoom range. The lens has high sharpness throughout the entire image from its maximum aperture, even on high-resolution cameras. Focusing on enhancing its rendering performance, the brightness of F2.8 produces a large, beautiful bokeh effect, and allows users to experience the power of a flagship lens in all types of visual expression. In addition to its advanced close-up capability and resistance to flare and ghosting, the lens is designed to minimize focus breathing, providing ideal images in any situation.High optical performance across the entire image and zoom rangeThe optical design of the lens includes 6 FLD glass elements, 2 SLD glass elements, and 5 aspherical lens elements to thoroughly suppress various aberrations throughout the entire zoom range. In particular, sagittal coma flare has been well controlled to achieve consistently high resolution all the way to the periphery of the image. By also effectively correcting lateral chromatic aberration, high resolution, beautifully rendered images can be achieved, free from color fringing can be achieved.Incorporating 5 aspherical lensesThe use of 5 high-precision aspherical lenses enables both high optical performance with minimal aberration correction and a compact optical design. The SIGMA's only manufacturing base, the Aizu factory's ultra-high-precision aspherical molding technology makes it possible to produce the thin, highly polarized aspherical lenses that are essential for the construction of this lens. This has brought about a higher degree of freedom in optical design.Excellent close-up capabilityThe lens has excellent close-up capability with a minimum focusing distance of 17cm / 6.7in. at the wide end and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.7. This is useful when composing close-up shots of a subject, or when shooting in tight spaces where it is difficult to get a good distance from the subject.Designed to minimize flare and ghostingFlare and ghosting, which reduce image quality, have been largely eliminated using advanced simulation technology, ensuring the lens renders rich, high-contrast results in all conditions. In addition, Nano Porous Coating and Super Multi-layer Coating have been applied to help suppress flare and ghosting to the utmost degree. High backlight resistance enables clear and sharp images under any lighting conditions.Minimal focus breathingThe lens has been designed to suppress focus breathing. The change in angle-of-view due to focus shift across the entire zoom range is minimized, creating a natural-looking focus pulls when recording video.Improved portability and expanded feature setThe body of the SIGMA 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN II | Art is approximately 7% smaller in size and 10% lighter in weight than the previous model, while improving usability by adding an aperture ring and two AFL buttons. Despite the reduction in size and added features, the lens maintains SIGMA's renowned excellent build quality, with the uncompromisingly precise and robust construction expected of a professional photographic tool.Highly portable lens bodyWhile the number of lens elements used in its construction is the same as that of the previous model, the overall length has been shortened owing to an advanced optical design. In addition, the more efficient mechanical design has resulted in a highly portable lens body with a maximum diameter of 87.8mm / 3.5in., length of 120.2mm / 4.7in., and weight of 745g / 26.3oz.Excellent build qualitySimultaneously focusing on reducing the size and weight of the lens body, the use of metal parts for the zoom extension unit and other parts, as well as the robust internal structure ensure rigidity during use, such as when operating the ring, pressing buttons, and carrying the lens. The design emphasizes the lens' longevity and reliability as a tool, which cannot be achieved by solely pursuing a compact and lightweight body.Equipped with an aperture ringThe lens is equipped with an aperture ring as well as an aperture ring click switch and an aperture ring lock switch, allowing for aperture operation suitable for various shooing situations.Equipped with two AFL buttonsThe lens is equipped with two AFL buttons, to which a range of functions can be assigned via the menu on selected cameras, one more than the previous model. In addition to the side, the additional button has been positioned on the top to facilitate button operation when the camera is held in vertical orientation.A wealth of functions including high-speed autofocusIn addition to high-speed AF with HLA (High-response Linear Actuator), the SIGMA 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN II | Art has a full range of features including weather resistance such as a dust and splash resistant structure and water and oil repellent coating, as well as a zoom lock switch. The lens delivers the best possible results in every shooting situation.Incorporating a linear motor HLAThe lens incorporates a linear motor HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) for the AF actuator. The high output HLA makes the maximum drive speed more than three times faster than the previous model, ensuring responsive AF shooting.Dust and splash resistant structure and water and oil repellent coatingIn addition to a dust and splash resistant structure, the front element of the lens features a water and oil repellent coating, allowing users to shoot without concerns even in harsh outdoor environments.Equipped with a zoom lock switch at the wide endThe lens is equipped with a zoom lock switch that locks the lens at the wide end and prevents the barrel from extending unintentionally under its own weight. The lock can be released not only by the switch but also via zoom operation, allowing for flexible handling of even impromptu shooting.Including a petal-type hood with lockA dedicated petal-shaped hood is supplied. A locking mechanism is provided for secure attachment.

This lens is super sharp, relatively light, and an absolute workhorse! In comparison to the GM II, I'd say this is the move if you want to save yourself some money for practically the same quality.

A beast of a lens

Incredible lens! Bravo to Sigma! I love it!

Amazing lens!

This is a great lens    Love the quality of my photos. Very sharp images. Glad I made this purchase.

Best purchase

Best Black Friday price in the Sigma 24-70 art ii lens. Love the lens on my A7iv for half the price of the Sony GM ii with comparable quality. The addition of the aperture ring is a necessity for professional video production.

Very Happy w/ Sigma Art ii on my A7iv

Was a gift for a relative of mine and they are really enjoying this lens! They are starting a small photography business and are very excited to experiment with this lens

Perfect Gift for a Photographer

Best lens I ever owned. It does a great job blurring the background for portraits.

Great buy!

Stunning image quality, beautiful bokeh, reliable auto focus but also very good on manual too.
I use this lens for video paired with my FX6 and it's a excellent option for a documentary/event lens. It's light weight, the built quality is solid and the image render is beautiful.
Highly recommended

Amazing Lens

I am a beginner photographer and recently upgraded to Sony a7iii. Bought this lens to complement the other recent purchase of Sigma 85mm 1.4 Prime lens, and overall loving this Sigma line of lenses. I have only tried this lens for a few shots here and there, and simply amazed at the photo quality. The f-stop adjustment ring on the lens is a great feature and giving additional flexibility.  Would absolutely recommend this lens.

Fantastic lens

I love this mark ii version of this lens. Just the sharpness and clarity is unmatched. Definitely one of my favorite all around lenses

Best all around lens

Great lens overall, I haven't used first version so I will not be able to compare with it.
But build quality, features, sharp pictures and autofocus are great compared to Tamron g2 28-75.
I am very happy with this lens so far, Sigma has upped their lens game recently.
