The Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 DG OS HSM Art is, like the competing model from Tamron, an attempt to deliver a wide aperture standard zoom for full-frame SLRs at a reasonable price and with image stabilization. That's beyond ambitious.

Consistent performance through zoom range; Optical stabilization; Solid build; Dust and splash protection; Available for multiple systems; Attractive price

Weak edge performance at f/2.8; Dimmed corners; Visible chromatic aberration; Some distortion

The Sigma Art range of lenses aims at the highest level of optical performance. Coupled with the extremely useful 24-70mm range, such a lens offers the potential of a huge step up from the average "kit lens" often supplied in a package with the camera.

I use it with Sony A7R-III and Canon 17-40 L, Canon 70-200 f4 IS L, and Sigma 24-105 f4 lenses, and it works fine.

The Sigma 24-70 ARt lens is not a bad lens, but in Sigmas SUPERB Art series line up it simply does not perform as well as other ART series lenses. I own numerous Sigma ART (prime) lenses, and all of them (aside from this one) are absolutely superb.

excellent product does exactly what it says it does, you will have to be aware that this will only work with certain Sigma lenses. build quality is top class. I bought it so that I could use it on my canon mount 150-600mm lens and it works wonderfully, all the Sony A7R ii feature work as with native...

For everyday shooting, a standard zoom lens is the go-to optic for most DSLR owners, so it pays to get a good one. The latest own-brand Canon and Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 lenses have equally fast aperture ratings and are built to satisfy the most discerning professional photographers.
