#5 in Standard Zoom Lenses · Rated 4.6
Art-class zoom with OS and rugged build.
Sigma's 24-70mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM Art (A017) is a classic all-round zoom with a robust, metal barrel and optical stabilization. It brings Sigma’s Art-level resolution to full-frame DSLR and some mirrorless mounts, delivering strong sharpness, contrast, and color rendition across the zoom range. The optical stabilization (OS) helps maintain longer handheld shutter speeds, while the electromagnetic diaphragm on certain mounts offers smooth exposure control. The lens design emphasizes minimized aberrations and flare with a coating system that helps preserve contrast in challenging lighting. It remains a popular choice for professionals who want a dependable 24-70 in Canon EF, Nikon F, or Sigma SA ecosystems, with codec-friendly performance in both stills and video.
