The Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN II Art for Sony E is Sigma's flagship standard zoom for full-frame mirrorless cameras. Sigma says it is about 7% smaller and 10% lighter than the first version, with much faster autofocus, and on an a7 IV, a7C II or a7R V it covers weddings, events, portraits, landscapes and video.

Optical designThere are 19 elements in 15 groups, including six FLD, two SLD and five aspherical elements, for higher resolution across the zoom range than the original. |

HLA autofocusAn HLA linear motor drives focus more than three times faster than the previous model's maximum speed, and focus breathing is kept low for video. |

ControlsThere is an aperture ring with a click switch and a lock, two AFL buttons on the side and top, and a zoom lock at 24mm. The petal hood locks on. |

Close focusIt focuses down to 17cm at 24mm, for a maximum magnification of 1:2.7, which is useful for details and product shots. |
This is the working zoom for professionals who want F2.8 from wide to short telephoto. The Sigma 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN is a much lighter alternative, and the Sigma 28-45mm F1.8 DG DN gives prime-like F1.8 over a shorter range.
