24-70mm F2.8 DG OS HSM | Art overview
The Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 DG OS HSM | Art is a 24–70mm f/2.8 zoom for full-frame cameras on Canon EF / EF-S and Nikon F, announced by Sigma in February 2017. 41 cameras we track take it without an adapter. It is discontinued, so new stock may be limited.
Going by its spec sheet, it suits portraits as well as landscapes and interiors. It is a weaker pick for travelling light.
New, it sells for £1,129 in the United Kingdom (HDEW Cameras); used and refurbished copies start at £800.
Worth comparing it with the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR, Tamron SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD G2 and Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM.
