Sigma 24-35mm F2 AF DG HSM Art Lens for Canon 588954 Black

Fab lens - you can get really close to an object and it will auto focus. This is my main lens for my wedding photography. Does not distort faces. It’s great at big aperture and also great at smaller higher aperture. I’d buy another happily. This was the best price and arrived very quickly.Josephine Gray Photography.

I wanted to go a little wider as i shoot 35 & 85mm Primes at weddings.A year on and im still shooting with this Lens. amazing quality throughout. I cant wait to see what else Sigma has to offer in the future :D

Well worth the money really sharp.

I bought this lens in good faith yet it didn't do what it should. I returned it to this company over two weeks ago, yet they haven't refunded me. Faulty items, poor service. Don't be taken in by this

Really great lens, but very heavy.

I got this lens to use it for filming on a dslr. I'm quite happy with it.

In a word, stunning! I had been growing dissatisfied with my Nikon 24-70mm f2.8 - the more I looked in the corners, the softer it looked (and it is not a cheap lens). I had been thinking about primes for landscape work, when I saw a review which compared this Sigma to Nikon 24mm, 28mm, and 35mm primes - and it was better than all three! Since the price is so reasonable (compared to Nikon pro-quality zooms), I bought it. Strapped to my D800, the quality is amazing - sharp enough to cut your eyes with, corner to corner, even wide open. And the contrast is amazing too. I'd never really been conscious of the contrast performance of lenses before, but this is just so much better than the 24-70 that it hits you instantly. I've not had good experiences with Sigma in the past (3 lousy samples of their 10-20mm, and a soft 120-400mm) - but this Art lens is a game-changer. Now if only Sigma would bring out a matching 35-70mm f2...

If you are after a lens with a large zoom range then this is not the lens for you. If you are after the ultra low light performance of a f/1.4 prime lens then this is not the lens for you.If you are after a zoom lens that delivers nearasdammit prime lens quality then this IS the lens for you.The 24-35 will be especially interesting for a wedding photographer where space is often at a premium. Over the last few years there's been a real trend to move towards prime lenses due to the performance and quality over traditional zooms. The downside is that often we end up with multiple zoom lenses. So if you are carrying a 24mm, 28mm and 35mm primes then you can now replace them with a single zoom!Sure it doesn't go down to f/1.4 like the Sigma 35mm ART does but nowadays with the high ISO performance of cameras nowadays it's not as important as it once was. I pitted this lens against my 35mm ART at f/2 and frankly even when doing some serious pixel peeping I could barely tell any difference in image quality. I doubt any paying customer would notice or care.A few have criticised the size and weight of this lens but that doesn't bother me personally.I loved my Sigma 35mm ART. It was my go to lens for weddings but now the 24-35 is the lens of choice. It stays on one camera and have now started to leave my 35mm prime at home.I don't think this lens will suit prime lens purists just simply because it doesn't zoom. Personally I've always preferred zoom lense's for flexibility but preferred the image quality from primes. The Sigma 24-35 allows me to get the best of both worlds. The tradeoff though is a shorter focal range and a stop of light. I can live with that.
