SIGMA Announces SIGMA 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN|Art


Sigma Pre-Order: B&H Photo / Amazon / Adorama

SIGMA announces SIGMA 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN|Art
SIGMA Corporation is pleased to announce the SIGMA 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN|Art.

The front runner goes beyond your dreams
―Leveraging the top-level “Art zooms” performance to whatever your heart envisions

Best performance can be provided due to a large-aperture zoom. This creed made an extremely high sense of resolution achieved in 14-24mm F2.8 DG DN | Art, the SIGMA’s first Art zoom dedicated for mirrorless cameras. It is also inherited in 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN | Art, the second Art zoom.

By exerting superiority in mirrorless camera-dedicated designs, the lens size and weight are successfully reduced, while achieving uniformity and high resolution from the center to the periphery throughout the zoom range. Furthermore, compatibility with the latest mirrorless camera bodies and functions assists in various photographic environments and meets the high demands of professional or advanced amateur photographers.

Following 14–24mm F2.8 DG DN | Art, 24–70mm F2.8 DG DN | Art has appeared as the flagship of the new-generation Art zoom and ultimate large-aperture standard zoom lens.

About Product Name: “DG” is given to lenses designed to deliver the ultimate in performance on cameras with full-frame sensors, and “DN” to lenses designed to be optimized for mirrorless cameras with short flange focal length.

Launch : TBD
Case, Hood (LH878-03) supplied
Available AF mount: L-Mount, Sony E-mount

Note:
・L-Mount is a registered trademark of Leica Camera AG.
・Appearance and specifications are subject to change.
