Sigma's Art-line 24-105mm f/4 — sharp standard zoom with OS and HSM for Canon and Nikon DSLRs.
The Sigma 24-105mm f/4 DG OS HSM Art was released in 2013 as the Art-series constant f/4 standard zoom for full-frame cameras, targeting maximum optical performance across the 24-105mm range. At 885g and 82mm filter thread it reflects the 19-element Art-tier formula. OS provides approximately 4 stops of compensation. HSM provides fast, quiet AF. DG confirms full-frame coverage. Available in Canon EF and Nikon F versions.
The optical design uses 19 elements in 14 groups including aspherical, SLD, and FLD elements. Nine rounded aperture blades produce smooth bokeh. The 82mm filter thread is standard for professional full-frame zooms. At 885g the lens is moderate. Minimum focus distance of 0.45m. OS provides approximately 4 stops of compensation. HSM motor provides fast, quiet AF with full-time manual override. Constant f/4 aperture.
The 24-105mm Art formula uses FLD, SLD, and aspherical elements to control aberration at constant f/4 across the full range — targeting the optical quality benchmark of Canon's 24-105mm f/4L II and Nikon's 24-120mm f/4G equivalents with Art-tier correction. For photographers who shoot landscape, travel, documentary, and portrait work on full-frame bodies, the constant f/4 range covers the full practical scope in a single lens.
On the used market the Sigma 24-105mm f/4 DG OS HSM Art is available at mid-range Art-series zoom pricing. Condition checks: OS engagement, HSM AF response, 82mm front element for marks, and zoom ring smoothness. Confirm the mount version — Canon EF and Nikon F are both available. Compatible with full-frame and APS-C bodies in the specified mount.
