Review VerdictThe Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG DN ART II improves upon its predecessor across several aspects. The resolution is superior at all focal lengths, with very high marks at the wide and tele ends. There's still a slight weakness in the middle range, but the results are still good for a zoom lens. The native image distortions, CAs and vignetting have all been improved as well, and autocorrection does a good job taming these issues further. The quality of the bokeh is difficult to judge. Our test sample probably had a slight manufacturing defect on one element. However, we'd give the benefit of the doubt, and this is likely not typical for this lens. The blur in the transition zone is quite smooth for a lens in this class. Axial CAs can be visible at large aperture settings, but that's not unusual as well. Typical for all Sigma ART & Sport lenses, the build quality is excellent. The lens body feels reassuringly sturdy, and Sigma didn't forget to incorporate weather sealing. It uses an extending zoom mechanism, but this is the same for most lenses in this class. The addition of an aperture ring is certainly also welcome news for users who prefer to set the aperture on the lens rather than on the camera. Another improvement is the increased AF speed, which is now almost on Sony GM level. Overall, we can see why this lens is so popular. However, it's still not the best in class.
