Sigma's unique Art-line zoom — constant f/2 from 24-35mm on full-frame, like three fast primes in one lens.
The Sigma 24-35mm f/2 DG HSM Art launched in 2015 as the world's first full-frame zoom with a constant f/2 aperture. Covering 24-35mm, it effectively replaces three fast primes (24, 28, and 35mm) with a single lens offering unprecedented zoom versatility at f/2.
Optically outstanding — delivers Art-line sharpness that rivals dedicated primes at each focal length. The constant f/2 aperture provides shallow depth of field unusual for a zoom. HSM motor is fast and quiet. Build quality matches Art-line standards with quality materials throughout.
Available in Canon EF and Nikon F mounts. 82mm filter thread. Weighs 940g — very heavy for the zoom range. No weather sealing. Minimum focus distance 28cm. USB dock compatible for AF fine-tuning. The barrel is substantial — this feels like a premium prime lens.
Available used at mid-range prices. The narrow zoom range is the main limitation — 24-35mm is not very versatile. The weight is significant for a short zoom. For photographers who regularly switch between 24, 28, and 35mm primes, this consolidates three lenses into one without compromise.
