The Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 EX Aspherical DG DF is one of several innovative products introduced by Sigma in 2001. This lens covers focal lengths from 24mm ultra wide angle to 70mm medium telephoto and provides a large f2.8 aperture at all focal lengths.

It's design employs three (3) aspherical lens elements to minimize spherical aberration, astigmatism and sagittal comma flare. The use of two (2) SLD (The Special Low Dispersion) glass elements results in excellent correction of chromatic aberration and provides a high level of optical performance and high contrast and resolution. The lens also incorporates a Dual Focus mechanism.

The 24-70mm f2.8 EX Aspherical DG DF is an easy to hold the lens, since the focusing ring does not rotate during auto focusing, and yet provides a wide focus ring for easy to use manual focus. Since the front of the lens does not rotate, it allows the use of a flower shaped Perfect Hood and facilities the use of polarizing filters.

The lens materials used in this new lens are lead and arsenic free ecological glass.

A great value

"If you are hoping that this lens will be as nice as the 24-70mm Nikkor lens, you should give up that hope. Sometimes you're not paying extra just for the brand name. The biggest difference is not in the quality of the images you'll take, though, it's in the feel of the lens itself. That's not to say this lens feels cheap--it really is a sturdy, heavy lens--but the dials on the lens are stiff, and the build qu..." Read Full Review »

"I've been using this on a D80 for about a month. Its built like a tank, which means its very (front) heavy. It is very soft at f/2.8 but starts getting sharp by f/4 and by f/8 is extremely sharp. The focusing is very very loud and misfocuses a lot. It has a very good look to it at 24mm and has very good macro at 70mm. The zoom ring doesn't glide easily from from 28mm to 35mm. Like I said I've used it for a month..." Read Full Review »

"this lens has a PERFECT zoom range for full-frame 35mm cameras. however, on 1.5x sensors, the widest end gets cut from 24mm to 36mm, making the lens a little less useful.

the lens is heavy and not the greatest construction in the world (there is some play on the front element with my copy), but y …" Read Full Review »

"This is really a fantastic lens. The f2.8 through the whole range really makes this a very useful lens for wedding photography. Very clear, and tops at f32. The manual focus is a bit different, as the user has to pull back the front focus ring in order to focus manually. Not a big deal once you get …" Read Full Review »
