Pros: First of all, the build quality as soon as you take it in hand you feel its solidity, it weighs 1020 grams but quality. Dust and splashes do not worry, thanks to complete tropicalization. Excellent sharpness

Cons: Maybe some limitations in the backlight, I noticed the appearance of flare and consequently a certain drop in sharpness

Opinion: Once you get used to the weight (which then for me has never been a big problem) its use is a real pleasure, you forget to have mounted it in short a great all-rounder ' was in my opinion a great purchase, Sigma with these new Art has raised its quality in a noticeable way The focus is fast and precise, although not silent, but I think it is a marginal problem

Pros: Build quality, sharpness, speed and precision AF, contrast and colours, tropicalized, excellent stabilizer. Excellent control of flare and chromatic aberrations.

Cons: Weight, it's pointless that we turn around, the lens weighs too much. Personally I would have given up the stabilizer to earn 300grams.

Opinion: I've been using it for over six months now. I come from 18-35 art, which was definitely a lady lens, but often sinned in precision autofocus, compared to the 24-70 art is a sniper, is very fast and is not wrong a shot. The sharpness is really very very good and the stabilizer does his job, you can shoot at times otherwise unfeasible. Excellent management of chromatic aberrations and flare, to all openings and focal lengths. Very pleasant blur. The weight instead, makes me often spend the urge to use it.

Pros: Tropicalizato very sharp weight in the norm, bright colors. No flare.

Cons: Maybe not have it.

Opinion: And for more than 6 months that I use it and very versatile, very bright very detailed, colors not very saturated lenses to my opinion from L Series, promoted with full marks, and always carry in the bag or not to remove more from the camera. Very fast focus, weather sealed, no chromatic aberrations, Sigma A did a good job. I recommend it to everyone.

Pros: Sharpness, chromatic rendition, details, AF fast, silent, solid construction, no flare, no chromatic aberration

Cons: 82mm filters not easy to find and expensive, difficult to use the zoom ring with the lens hood mounted in the resting position, apart from this I can not find such faults to be highlighted, perhaps the weight (1,050 gr) But considering the structure in Metal is a more than justified weight and in the end you get used

Opinion: I have this lens for just under a year and I must say that it was a love at first sight, I use it a lot in portraiture photos and gives me a few satisfactions, one of the strengths is the sharpness already TA, blurred soft and pleasant , very useful the stabilizer that works in a discreet and totally silent, it returns really beautiful colors, I have never found flare or aberrations chromatic or vignetting in TA. In many forums, before I buy it, I read that suffers from F/b focus and then as soon as I arrived I did the test with the focus chart, from the test the calibration of the autofocus was perfect, however, I recommend taking the doking that besides being useful for calibrations of focus you can keep the firmware updated which is very useful. With this optics according to me Sigma has raised considerably the quality of the bar, I recommend..

Pros: Detail, tropicalized, sharpness, color silence and AF speed even in low light, solid construction.

Cons: nothing for now! we wait for the time to use it at full capacity.

Opinion: I have this lens for a short time and I have done MANY tests to be sure to keep it, I am satisfied with the results, I personally feel something substantial and this with the D800 is excellent, the dimensions also help stability, it is a bit heavy indeed as a whole acceptable. Rating 10, I hope I can add the praise!

Pros: very engraved and detailed, tropicalized

Cons: weight, price, and not having it

Opinion: Heavyweight optics but the result is exceptional, at 2.8 the detail engraving is well visible even for the first quick evaluations .... tropicalization makes the lens definitely more resistant to dust problems .... rnL ' optics is shiny metal I think for unattractive use the signs on the unhappy body to arrive .... i had the tamron 24/70 stabilized and the game is clearly in favor of the fast sigma af and effective silencers

Pros: Constructive quality, Sharpness, AF speed and precision, Contrast and color, Tropicalized

Cons: I did not have time to find it

Opinion: I ran a brief comparative test between Sigma 24-70 F2.8 Art and Nikon 24-70 F2.8 (Reflex Nikon D750): rnrnI Sigma 24-70 Art is a very well-constructed, good-sized lens and higher portability than Nikon , Such as sharpness, colors, contrast, we are on the same level. At 24 mm, 28 and 35 are slightly better than the Sigma, while 50 and 70 are better than the Nikon. RnrnFor the edge distortion the Nikon is somewhat worse than the Sigma at 24mm but is slightly better than 70mm.rnrn Blurry at f2.8 and I assume also other very open diaphragms in my opinion it is slightly for the benefit of Nikon.rnrnValue and precision Nikon's AF focus is also quieter. Rnrn The stabilizer obviously in some situations makes the difference (long times, say under 1/30), but there is something in the Sigma that does not convince me at the non-focal area, I try to explain, it would be to deepen: I used the Single-point focus, while the Nikon's closed-loop diaphragms (F8-F11) is clear and accurate across the entire frame, the Sigma besides the focus area is less sharp, it even looks like a micro-motion, and this is also noticeable with the most open diaphragms (F2.8), although in this case it is Less relevant. RnrnI would like the two lenses to be the same, while when I had the chance to try during a workshop the new Nikon 24-70 VR I noticed a big difference ... rnrn * Note that Nikon has been fine-tuning AF, Sigma No and since the D800 I found that many optics on many Mpx reflexes need fine calibration.
