Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM Art Lens for Canon

I had read some mixed web reviews. This lens so far is in VERY short supply, so the reviews will be coming in slowly. From my experience, it is far superior to the 24-105 f4 L Canon, and it is sharp at all lengths. It especially sharpens at 70mm which is what I was looking for. I ditched the 24-105 when I was terribly disappointed by softness at 70-105 range. This lens produces professional results, and outstanding color rendition. I dont know about the Canon 24-70 mkII f2.8, which is very well regarded. I would assume from my experience that it is close to that lens simply by the excellent images I have already produced.. It is heavy, has wonderful Bokeh, and considering it is about 1/3 less the price of the Canon version WELL worth the money!

So far, its the only lens of its kind. and at that price Id say its worth it. Creamy Bokeh and very sharp images. Works great with my brand new 6dii. Id say if you are looking for a good travel lens, look no further. The only downside is its size and weight, but I would say that it is completely worth it both for the quality and versatility that comes with this lens.

I’m a music photographer and lifestyle photographer. This lens is my workhorse lens. 98% of the time this lens never leaves my camera body. It is the absolute best for both extremely different photo settings that I shoot in. For my music photography this lens is epic for very very low light. Yes, you need to understand your camera settings for each event because the lighting varies, but if you know how to set your ISO and shutter for the light you’re in then this lens will never let you down. For my lifestyle shooting in broad daylight this Sigma lens is perfect. Keep the lens backed all the way out for nice wide shots. And you can zoom in really tight to your models face or product they are holding. Zoomed out or zoomed in, the quality and crisp shot is there. The auto focus is fantastic and very quick unless your shooting with your screen view on. (Which I never do and don’t recommend) The lens has some weight to it. A lot of reviews I read before I purchased had people complaining about how heavy it is and their neck would get soar or their wrist. Well, they are simply just adult babies. Adult babies who need to work out their neck and wrists I suppose? I like the weight because it doesn’t feel cheap. It’s a solid built lens that is extremely accurate and durable, so quit your sniffling and focus more on your photos! The only, and I mean only thing that I wish I could change is the lens hood. The Sigma lens hood that comes with the lens doesn’t lock in place when it’s on. So if you’re walking around all day it will slowly start to twist off. It has never fallen off completely but I have caught it close to the edge. I might try ordering the Canon lens hood to see if that one locks or if it’s just something I will need to live with. None the less, changes nothing about the lens. I you snag this one you will be one happy individual. Thanks for reading my rant.

This is my workhorse lens. I shoot with a lot of prime lenses and this is actually the only multi-focal lens that I own. Images come out super sharp. I use this more for landscape and architecture shots but I dont think itll have any trouble doing portraits. You can still achieve some pretty good bokeh. It make for a great first lens or a travel lens because it is so versatile.

This lens has been a great adddition to my collection of lenses (cheaper than Canon lenses but work just as well- in my opinion). It fit my dslr just fine. One thing as a precaution, the lense is heavier than I thought it would be so I have to be careful when using a basic tripod, but other than that it’s great.
