Sigma 12-24mm f4 Art review
22 Mar 2017 ThomasThe new Sigma Art AF 12-24/4.0 DG HSM is a worthy successor to Sigma's AF 12-24mm 4.5-5.6 II DG HSM model from 2011. Optical performance is very good and other aspects of the lens are also improved: The focal ratio is now a constant f4.0, AF is faster, and you get compatibility with Sigma's USB dock to fine tune various characteristics of AF…

Sigma 24-35mm f2 Art review
18 Jan 2016 ThomasThe Sigma 24-35mm f2.0 DG HSM Art is a one-of-a-kind lens: It simply is the largest aperture full-frame zoom lens around and it also delivers very good image quality. As such the new zoom is a very compelling addition to Sigma's catalogue. Add Sigma's build-quality of the "Art" series and the option to swap the lens-mount should you change…

Sigma 24mm f1.4 Art review
11 Dec 2015 ThomasThe Sigma 24mm f1.4 DG HSM Art is a very compelling addition to large aperture wide-angle lenses: it combines very good performance overall with Sigma's build-quality of the "Art" series. In optical performance this lens has only two flaws: It has some field curvature and a dip in resolution at the DX-corner but that does not prevent the lens from…

Sigma 24-105mm f4 OS Art review
03 Apr 2014 ThomasThe 24-105mm f4 OS is Sigma's second full-frame lens in its Art-series which (quote Sigma) "offers sophisticated optical performance and abundant expressive power to deliver faithfully on your artistic vision". Blimey. The first full-frame Art lens was the 35mm f1.4 DG HSM which put in some astonishing performance in the corners of the full-frame sensor (see my Sigma 35mm f1.4 review).…

Sigma 35mm f1.4 Art review
14 Feb 2013 ThomasThe 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM is Sigma's first large aperture 35mm full-frame lens.
