Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 EX DG for Canon

Available Friday

591725443497

This lens is the newest Sigma wide aperture standard zoom lens (not the preexisting one) with HSM motor for rapid autofocus. DG is a designation that Sigma uses on lenses featuring optical systems designed to meet the performance characteristics of digital SLR cameras. The Super Multi Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting, and the use of ELD and SLD glass provides excellent correction of all types of aberrations. It has a nine bladed diaphragm for smooth out-of-focus highlights.

First, we’ve been pleasantly suprised that the copies we received were all accurate focusers and focused quite quickly at that. The lens seems well built and the rings feel solid. At f/4 and higher, the lens is very sharp and can hang with the Canon 24-70 f/2.8 (we didn’t do any pixel-peeping, hair-splitting tests, but it looks good). At f/2.8 it’s clearly softer than the Canon: I’d call it usable but the lens is clearly sharper at f/4, but given the price difference I’d consider it a reasonable alternative to the 24-70 Canon.
