Sigma 24-70 f2.8 DG DN II Sony-E
The 24-70mm F2.8 Art has been further developed on all levels:
The SIGMA 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN II Art has been significantly enhanced compared to its predecessor model. The most advanced technologies available to SIGMA in design and production have been used.
Compared to the predecessor model SIGMA 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN Art, the SIGMA 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN II Art has an improved resolving power over the entire Zoom range. It also benefits from functional improvements, such as the newly added aperture ring and the high-speed autofocus with newly developed HLA drive (High-Response Linear Actuator).
The lens is also approx. 7% smaller and 10% lighter than its predecessor. The new 24-70mm F2.8 II Art is therefore a versatile and powerful tool with which photographers and filmmakers can unleash their creative potential.
Top performance that lives up to the reputation of a top model
The new SIGMA 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN II Art is the successor to the SIGMA 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN Art, which is known for its high optical performance, and has a further improved resolution over the entire Zoom range. It delivers the highest image quality even at open aperture and the high speed of F2.8 ensures a soft and harmonious bokeh. The lens therefore offers maximum performance in almost all shooting situations. The short closest focusing distance further expands the creative possibilities. Flares and ghosting are excellently corrected and focus breathing is largely minimized. This means that the outstanding creative possibilities of this lens can be used to the full in both photo and video applications.
High optical performance across the entire image and Zoom range
The optical design of the lens comprises 6 FLD and 2 SLD glass elements. In addition, 5 aspherical lens elements are used. Aberrations are thus reliably suppressed over the entire Zoom range. Sagittal coma flares in particular are well controlled in order to achieve a consistently high resolution right up to the periphery of the image. By effectively correcting lateral chromatic aberration, high-resolution images free of color fringing can be achieved.
Equipped with 5 aspherical lenses
The use of 5 high-precision aspherical lenses enables both high optical performance with minimal aberration correction and a compact optical design. SIGMA's production facility in Aizu, Japan, has the high-precision aspherical molding technology that allows it to produce the thin, highly polarized aspherical lenses required for this purpose. This has led to a higher degree of freedom in optical design.
Excellent close-up capability
The lens offers an outstanding close-up focusing distance of just 17cm at wide-angle and a maximum magnification of 1:2.7. These factors create potential for creative close-ups.
Note: When taking close-ups in the wide-angle range, the lens hood should be removed to avoid touching the subject.
Low susceptibility to flares and ghosting
Flares and ghosting, which impair image quality, have been optimized for all lighting conditions using the latest simulation technology. In addition, a Nano-Porous and Super Multi-Layer coating has been applied to the front lens to prevent flares and ghosting as far as possible. This enables brilliant, high-contrast images to be taken even in unfavourable lighting conditions.
Minimized focus breathing
The optical design effectively suppresses focus breathing. The changes in the image angle when focusing are reduced to a minimum, resulting in natural-looking video recordings
. Better portability and extended features
The SIGMA 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN II Art is approx. 7 % smaller and 10 % lighter than its predecessor model. The user-friendliness has been improved with an additional aperture ring and two AFL buttons. Despite its greater compactness and improved features, the lens offers SIGMA's renowned high build quality. With an uncompromisingly precise and robust construction, as you would expect from a professional photographic tool.
Better handling
While the number of lens elements used has remained the same compared to the previous model, the overall length has been shortened thanks to the modern optical design. In addition, the more efficient mechanical design has resulted in a portable lens with a maximum diameter of 87.8mm, a length of 120.2mm and a weight of 745g*
*L-mount version.
Outstanding build quality
The robust internal structure and the use of high-precision metal parts ensure high stability and durability in professional use. At the same time, the size and weight of the lens have been reduced. The design has been consistently geared towards the durability and reliability of the lens.
Aperture ring with "de-click function"
Many demanding users appreciate the ability to set the aperture directly on the aperture ring of the lens. The SIGMA 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN II Art therefore once again offers an aperture ring. Thanks to its "de-click function", this feature is also interesting for filmmakers, as the aperture can be adjusted smoothly and silently in this position. Those who prefer to set the aperture on the camera body can use the aperture ring's lock function and are protected against accidental adjustment.
Equipped with two AFL buttons
Unlike its predecessor, the lens now has two AFL buttons, the accessibility of which has been optimized for shooting in portrait and landscape format. These buttons can be assigned individual functions with compatible cameras.
Professional functions, including high-speed autofocus
To offer maximum performance in every shooting situation, the SIGMA 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN II Art has a high-speed AF with HLA drive. Other features, such as dust and splash protection, the water and oil-repellent coating of the front lens and the Zoom lock switch complete the professional features of the lens.
With HLA
linear actuator The lens is equipped with an HLA (High-Response Linear Actuator) linear motor for the AF drive. Thanks to the powerful HLA, the maximum drive speed is more than three times faster than the previous model*, ensuring responsive AF shooting.
*compared to the maximum drive speed of the SIGMA 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN Art, the actual AF focusing time may vary
Protected from external influences
In addition to the dust and splash-proof housing*, the front element of the lens has a water and oil-repellent coating.
The lens is protected against dust and splash water, but is not waterproof.
Equipped with a Zoom lock switch
The lens is equipped with a Zoom lock switch, which locks the lens in the wide-angle range and prevents the barrel from extending unintentionally due to its own weight. The lock can be released not only via the switch, but also by turning the Zoom ring, which allows flexible handling even for spontaneous shots.
Includes lens hood and case
The specially adapted lens hood LH778-05 is included with the SIGMA 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN II Art and is securely locked with a quick twist. The lens is supplied in a matching case for storage and safe transportation.
