The 24-70mm f/2.8 is a bread and butter lens for a lot of photographers in a wide variety of genres, but they tend to be rather pricey optics, which is why Sigma's 24-70mm f/2.8 DG DN Art lens is such an intriguing option for lots of professionals. This great video review takes a look at the lens and what you can expect from it in practice.
Coming to you from DP Review, this excellent video review takes a look at the Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG DN Art lens. 24-70mm f/2.8 lenses are a go-to lens for a lot of photographers, because they offer a helpful focal length range that can adequately cover a lot of situations while also maintaining a fairly wide maximum aperture that makes them all the more versatile. However, that usefulness is often rather expensive, with options typically costing around $2,000. Sigma's offering comes in at about half the price of the first party options, and given the Art series' history of great optical quality, it looks to be a very intriguing option, especially when you combine it with Sony's in-body image stabilization. Check out the video above for the full rundown.
I'm still playing with this lens but the more I use it it's difficult to really have anything bad to say about it. I mean yes, you can complain about this or that but you have to have that backed by something that is better. Obviously the Sony is "better", although it's not $1100 better, In no way shape or form. The Tamron is still a great choice though. Some even say it's a tad sharper. Although it's not as wide.
The Sony it's not even an option anymore unless you have so much money you can't even keep track of it.
I only have a few sample photos, not great but I can't complain. I don't need to be out on some mountain to get to know the specs of a lens. I just need a few shots to see how it renders colors, how sharp it is and how well it handles chromatic aberration. It's a steal at $1100.
Stealing is if you buy a Tamron 28-75 for 700$ not that Sigma for 400$ more, my2c!
