Weight: 990g (35 oz.) plus 35g for the plastic lens hood. The Nikon is 88 x 203mm with lens hood attached but does not get longer with zooming. The zoom cannot be locked – just like any other 24-70mm zoom. Zooming out adds another 31mm which gives a total maximum length of 172mm. Size (diameter x length): 88 x 105mm (3.5 x 4.1 in.), the lens hood adds 36mm (with a diameter of 101mm). For comparison I use the Nikon 24-70mm f2.8E VR (“Nikon” for short) and the Sigma AF 24-70mm f2.8 EX DG HSM (“predecessor”). I’ve rated the features with a (or ), when it’s better than average or even state of the art, a if it’s standard or just average, and if there’s a disadvantage. So if you’re shopping for a large aperture full-frame standard zoom, you’ve come to the right place!Īs usual I’ll have a look at the technical data of the Sigma first. To find out how the new Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 OS Art performs I tested it against Nikon’s own 24-70mm f2.8E VR on the demanding D810 body. The inclusion of this lens in Sigma’s “Art” line indicates a top-notch optical design which unfortunately also brings with it a hefty price: 1300 USD / 1450 EUR list-price is a mark-up of almost 100% over the last street-price of its predecessor. As you would expect from any new Sigma lens it is compatible with their USB-dock to fine tune various characteristics of the AF, plus if you change bodies, you can pay to have the mount swapped for your new system. The Sigma 24-70/2.8 OS Art is a stabilized standard 2.9x zoom available in mounts for Canon, Nikon and Sigma DSLRs with full-frame sensors and can also be used with Sony E-Mount bodies using Sigma’s MC-11 mount converter.Īnnounced in February 2017 it is the long awaited successor to Sigma’s non-stabilized 24-70mm f2.8 from 2008 which seems to be no longer available.
