Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers commend the Sigma 24-70mm Art for its exceptional center sharpness, low chromatic aberration and fast, silent HSM autofocus, while also noting its solid weather‑sealed build. However, they point out the lens’s heft, softer edge performance at the extremes, and a real‑world stabilization gain of only about two stops, which lags behind some rivals.
What Users Say
Everyday users love the lens’s ability to deliver sharp, detailed photos in low light and appreciate the versatile focal range for portraits, landscapes, and events. Common complaints revolve around its heavy, brick‑like feel, softer corners when used wide‑open, and stabilization that doesn’t match the performance of competing lenses.
Common Complaints
The most frequently reported issues are the lens’s substantial weight and bulk, edge softness at 24mm and 70mm when shot wide‑open, and optical stabilization that provides only about two stops of benefit compared with rivals.
