Standard zoom lens for Sony SLRs
The Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 covers focal lengths from 24mm to 70mm with a constant maximum aperture of f/2.8. It uses ELD and SLD glass elements plus three aspherical lenses to correct aberrations across the zoom range. Super Multi Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting. A Hyper Sonic Motor delivers quiet, high-speed autofocus with full-time manual override.
Photographers wanting a bright mid-range zoom
This lens suits general photography including snapshots, portraiture and landscapes where a fast constant aperture is useful. The rounded nine-blade diaphragm produces attractive background blur. Buyers who need a wider angle than 24mm or longer reach than 70mm should look at something else. Those requiring weather sealing or optical stabilisation will not find those features here.
Covers 24 to 70mm with f/2.8 throughout
The lens focuses as close as 38cm for a maximum magnification ratio of 1:5.3. Its compact construction measures 94.7mm in overall length. The included petal-type hood blocks extraneous light. At the longest focal length the angle of view narrows, limiting use for distant wildlife or sports. Very close macro work is beyond the minimum focusing distance.

Questions about this item
Which Sony digital SLR cameras accept this 24-70mm f/2.8 lens?
The lens is built for Sony digital SLR bodies that use the A-mount system; any camera with that mount will accept it.
Will the Hyper Sonic Motor autofocus operate on older Sony SLR bodies that pre-date HSM?
Yes, the in-lens HSM drives focus mechanically, so it works on any compatible A-mount body regardless of age.
How can I confirm the Super Multi Layer Coating is controlling flare after I mount the lens?
Shoot toward a bright light source and check that ghosting and flare are visibly reduced compared with an uncoated lens.
