The Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG DN II Art Lens for Leica L-mount combines exceptional optical performance with a more compact and lightweight design, making it the perfect choice for photographers and videographers who demand versatility without sacrificing quality. This updated version features an advanced optical construction that enhances sharpness, resolution, and portability, along with faster autofocus, a clickable aperture ring, and a minimum focusing distance of just 6.7 inches, making it ideal for both everyday use and specialized applications.

Advanced Optical Design

The lens incorporates six "F" Low Dispersion (FLD) elements, two Special Low Dispersion (SLD) elements, and five aspherical elements, which significantly reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing throughout the zoom range, ensuring excellent clarity and color accuracy. These elements also contribute to the lens's compact design while maintaining high optical performance. The f/2.8 aperture, paired with an 11-blade rounded diaphragm, creates a smooth, pleasing bokeh, ideal for isolating subjects against soft, blurred backgrounds.

Additionally, Sigma’s super multilayer and nano-porous coatings reduce flare and ghosting, delivering contrast-rich, color-neutral images—even in challenging backlit situations. The lens is also optimized to minimize focus breathing, making it particularly suitable for video recording, providing smooth, natural focus transitions.

Faster and Closer Focusing

Equipped with Sigma's new high-response linear actuator (HLA), the autofocus is more than three times faster than the previous model. This enhanced focus speed is complemented by a minimum focusing distance of just 6.7 inches and a maximum magnification of 1:2.7, allowing for impressive close-up photography or shooting in tight spaces.

Compact and Durable

Despite its high-performance optics, the Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG DN II Art lens is remarkably compact, measuring just 4.7 inches in length and weighing only 1.6 lb. This lightweight design, coupled with its robust metal internal components and durable construction, makes the lens easy to carry without sacrificing build quality.

The lens also features a clickable aperture ring with a lock switch, offering convenient control during use. For added protection, the lens is equipped with rubber seals around the mount to guard against dust and moisture, ensuring reliable operation in various conditions. Two AF-L buttons can be customized to adjust settings on the fly, while the dedicated AF/MF switch and zoom lock prevent accidental adjustments during use.
