- Is it worth upgrading from the first 24-70mm Art?
- Yes if you want a lighter lens, an aperture ring and faster focus. The optics are improved but not transformed, so the original still holds up for stills.
- How does it compare with the Sony 24-70mm f2.8 GM II?
- The Sony is lighter and slightly sharper at the edges, and it breathes less. The Sigma gets close on image quality and adds an aperture ring, so it is the stronger value.
- Does it work on APS-C Sony bodies?
- Yes, with the E-mount it fits Sony APS-C cameras, where it behaves like a 36-105mm equivalent. It is large for those bodies.
- Is it good for video?
- The quiet focus and de-clickable aperture ring help, but focus breathing and its weight make it less ideal than a dedicated video zoom.
- Does it have image stabilization?
- No. It relies on the camera body's stabilization, so pair it with an IBIS-equipped Sony body for handheld work.
- What is in the box?
- The lens, front and rear caps, a hood and a soft case. A tripod collar is not included.
- Where is the SIGMA 24-70mm f2.8 DG DN II Art Sony E cheapest?
- At Newegg, for $1,304.00, as of our latest check.
