A Classic, Evolved

Featuring improved rendering performance in a shorter and lighter body, Sigma’s flagship Sony E-mount 24-70mm f/2.8 DG DN II Art Lens deploys an advanced optical design for gains in sharpness, resolution, and portability. Additions like accelerated autofocus, a clickable aperture ring, and a scant, 6.7″ minimum focusing distance make this small-footprint follow-up ideal for those seeking versatility without compromising excellence.

Sophisticated Optical Design

• Six “F” Low Dispersion (FLD), two Special Low Dispersion (SLD) elements, and five aspherical elements markedly reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing throughout the zoom
• range for improved clarity and color accuracy. Also, increased control over sagittal coma flare yields high resolution across the entire frame.
• In addition to superior optical performance, the five aspherical elements contribute to the lens’ compact build with their thin, highly polarized construction.
• The bright, f/2.8 aperture and rounded 11-blade diaphragm produce a large, beautiful bokeh effect.
• Super multilayer and nano porous coatings have been applied to lens elements in order to minimize lens flare and ghosting and contribute to producing contrast-rich and color-neutral
• imagery, even in backlit conditions.
• The lens was also designed to suppress focus breathing as the angle of view changes across the zoom range, creating natural-looking focus pulls when recording video.

Focus Faster, Focus Closer

• The introduction of a linear motor high-response linear actuator (HLA) to drive the autofocus yields focusing speeds more than three times faster than its predecessor.
• At the wide-angle end of the zoom range, the minimum focusing distance improves to 6.7″ with a maximum magnification of 1:2.7 to suit working with close-up subjects or in tight spaces.

Built Strong and Svelte

• Maintaining the same number of lens elements, the overall length has been shortened to 4.8″ while the weight has been reduced to 1.6 lb.
• The aperture ring features both click and lock switches for improved handling during use.
• The robust internal structure features metal parts for the zoom extension, while the exterior boasts rubber seals in the mount to protect the lens from dust and moisture.
• Two integrated AF-L buttons can be programmed to adjust various shooting settings and the lens also features a dedicated AF/MF switch and a zoom lock switch to prevent the barrel from accidentally extended.
