The Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 Art lens receives largely positive feedback for its sharp optics, solid build, and excellent value compared to OEM alternatives.

A few copies exhibited soft corners or front/back focus issues.

85 out of 100 medium confidence 11 reviews

The GF 110mm f/2 lens is widely praised for its exceptional sharpness and build quality, often described as the best lens users have owned. It excels in portrait and landscape photography with a short depth of field, though some note it is a bit slow. A significant negative experience involves poor shipping packaging, leading to a return, but the lens itself is highly recommended.

Pros
  • Exceptional sharpness
  • Superb build quality
  • Great for portraits and landscapes
  • Short depth of field at f/2
  • Comfortable manual focus
Cons
  • Slightly slow autofocus
  • No optical image stabilization
  • Poor shipping packaging
