The Sigma 24-35mm f/2 DG HSM A1 for Nikon is a professional-caliber, fast-aperture, wide-angle lens designed for Nikon F-mount cameras. Key features include:
Great for landscape, event, and street photography
Excellent image quality, clarity, contrast, and sharpness
Fast, smooth, and quiet autofocus
Internal zoom and focusing
Fast f/2 Aperture Zoom. While most zoom lens apertures top off at f/2.8, the Sigma 24-35mm bests that by a full stop. This enables stellar low-light shooting, as well as providing shallow depth of field with a wide-angle zoom.
Wide to Normal Range. On a full-frame camera, the 24-35mm focal length covers the wide to moderately-wide focal range. This makes it a great option for landscape, event, and street photographers.
High-Quality Optics. As a part of Sigma’s Art lens line, the 24-35mm f/2 goes through Sigma’s rigorous A1 testing, ensuring high image quality. This lens’s optics are quite impressive. Its one “F” Low-Dispersion element (Sigma’s equivalent to a fluorite element), seven Super Low-Dispersion elements, and two aspherical glass elements work in unison to minimize spherical aberration, axial chromatic aberration, and field curvature. The Super Multi-Layer Coating minimizes lens flare and ghosting, helping to provide high contrast and color accuracy. This lens also offers internal zoom and focusing.
High-Quality Build. The lens barrel is constructed of Sigma’s durable, lightweight Thermally Stable Composite, giving the lens a solid, sturdy field.
Hyper Sonic Motor Autofocus System. Provides fast, smooth, and quiet operation in a wide variety of shooting situations. You can also manually override the autofocus motor at any time by rotating the focusing ring, giving you quick fine-tuning ability.
Dock Compatible. As part of Sigma’s Global Vision series, this lens is compatible with the Sigma USB Dock for Nikon F Lenses (separate rental item), allowing you to adjust certain parameters through the Sigma Optimization Pro software.
