Introducing the Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN A II Lens. The lens has been fully redesigned to take advantage of the latest technologies and includes an improved AF motor, SIGMAs HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) for high-speed AF and improved image quality throughout the entire zoom range. In addition to the internal improvements, the SIGMA 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN II Art features a built-in aperture ring to control the depth of field of your images and AFL function buttons that can be programmed for increased control. These professional features are packed into a lens that is approximately 7% smaller and 10% lighter than the previous model. With a weight of 745g and impressive close focusing distance of 17cm, it is a lightweight all-round lens that allows photographers and filmmakers unlock their creative potential.Versatile focal range with outstanding optical performanceBy taking advantage of the latest optical design technologies, the SIGMA 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN II Art has improved optical performance and increased resolution throughout the entire zoom range, ideal for use on modern high-resolution mirrorless cameras. Capture the world in stunning detail using the F2.8 aperture and impressive close-up focusing distance of 17cm to produce images with beautifully soft bokeh and pleasing background separation. These features paired with its fantastic low-light ability creates an ideal lens for using in any situation.Excellent close-up capabilityThe lens has excellent close-up capability with a minimum focusing distance of 17cm at the wide end and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.7. This is useful when composing close-up shots of a subject, or when shooting in locations where space is limited. Designed to minimise flare and ghostingFlare and ghosting have been largely eliminated thanks to the use of special Nano Porous and Super Multi-layer Coatings applied to the front optic of the lens. The lenss optical construction provides strong backlight resistance for clear and sharp images under any lighting conditions.Minimal focus breathingThe lens has been designed to suppress focus breathing. The change in angle-of-view due to focus shift across the entire zoom range is minimised, creating natural-looking focus pulls when recording video.
