Sigma Art 24-105mm f/4 DG OS HSM Art
The constant f/4 aperture across a 24-105mm range, paired with a complex 19-element optical design using FLD and SLD glass, delivers sharp, aberration-free images for high-resolution Nikon F bodies. Its Hyper Sonic Motor and Optical Stabilizer provide fast, quiet autofocus and effective shake compensation, while the bundled filter kit adds immediate shooting value. This lens is best for landscape and travel photographers needing a single, durable full-frame zoom that balances optical performance with everyday versatility.

The 30-Second Version
The Sigma 24-105mm f/4 Art hits the 98th percentile for optical quality, making it one of the sharpest standard zooms we've tested. Stabilization is strong at the 82nd percentile. Build quality and aperture both sit at the 21st percentile, so it's not weather sealed and not fast, but the image quality is the real story here.

प्रमाण
Performance
The optical score is the star of the show here. At the 98th percentile, this lens out-resolves almost everything else in its class. The 3 aspherical elements keep distortion and spherical aberration in check, while the 4 ED elements handle chromatic aberration. The Super Multi-Layer Coating helps with flare and ghosting, which matters when you're shooting into the light at 24mm.
Stabilization is also a bright spot at the 82nd percentile. Sigma's OS system does solid work for handheld shooting, especially at the 105mm end where camera shake gets amplified. Autofocus is more middle of the pack at the 54th percentile. The HSM motor is quick enough for most situations, but it's not going to win any speed contests against newer designs. Minimum focus distance of 450mm gives you a 1:4.55 magnification, which lands at the 61st percentile for macro. Fine for close-up details, not a true macro lens.

vs Competition
Against the Nikon NIKKOR AF-P DX 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR, the Sigma absolutely destroys it on optical quality. The Nikon kit lens is fine for what it is, but it's not in the same league. The Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II is similarly outclassed. The 7Artisans LITE Series AF35mm F1.8 is a prime, so it's a different tool entirely, but it does offer a much faster aperture if low light matters more than zoom range. The Sigma's f/4 constant aperture is actually a point in its favor compared to variable aperture kit zooms, even if it's not fast by prime standards. For nature and general purpose shooting, the Sigma's 24-105mm range plus that 98th percentile optical score makes it the clear winner among these options.

Value & Pricing
Pricing is all over the map. US listings range from USD 46 to USD 989 across 8 vendors, which is a wild spread. The low end is almost certainly a hood or accessory listing, not the lens itself. The realistic price for the lens sits at the higher end of that range. CAD pricing shows a similar pattern, from CAD 52 to CAD 1,363 across 2 listings. If you're shopping in the US, Newegg has the most bundle options, including filter kits and backpacks that add real value if you're starting from scratch. The lens itself delivers optical performance that competes with glass costing significantly more, so even at the top of the price range it's a reasonable deal for the sharpness you get.

Overview
The Sigma 24-105mm f/4 DG OS HSM Art sits at the 98th percentile for optical quality in our database. That's the headline here. This lens resolves detail like it costs twice as much, and for a standard zoom that's the whole ballgame. The 19 elements in 14 groups, including 3 aspherical and 4 ED elements, do serious work keeping images crisp across the frame.
But the numbers tell a more complicated story. Build quality lands at the 21st percentile, aperture at the 21st, and bokeh at the 24th. So you're getting a lens that's optically brilliant but physically unremarkable. At 885g it's not light, it's not weather sealed, and the constant f/4 max aperture won't blow anyone's mind. Still, for nature and budget shooters, the sharpness-to-price ratio is hard to argue with.
Common Questions
Q: Will this lens work on a Nikon D5500?
Yes, as long as you get the Nikon F mount version. The D5500 is a DX body, so you'll get a 36-157mm equivalent field of view, but the lens covers full-frame so it works fine on crop sensors too.
Q: Does this lens have image stabilization?
Yes. The OS in the name stands for Optical Stabilization, and it's built into the lens itself. It ranks at the 82nd percentile in our database, so it's genuinely effective for handheld shooting.
Q: Is this lens good for macro photography?
It's decent but not a true macro lens. The maximum magnification is 1:4.55 with a minimum focus distance of 450mm, which puts it at the 61st percentile for macro. You can get close-up detail shots, but if you want true 1:1 macro you'll need a dedicated macro lens.
Who Should Skip This
Portrait shooters should look elsewhere. The portrait score of 44.1/100 is the weakest area, and the bokeh at the 24th percentile confirms it. The f/4 max aperture just doesn't create enough background separation, and the out-of-focus rendering isn't particularly smooth. If you shoot in rain, dust, or harsh conditions, the lack of weather sealing and the 21st percentile build quality should give you pause. And if you need fast autofocus for sports or wildlife, the 54th percentile AF performance will frustrate you. This is a nature and general purpose lens, not an all-rounder for every situation.
Verdict
If sharpness is your priority and you can live without weather sealing, this lens is an easy recommendation. The 98th percentile optical performance is genuinely exceptional, and the stabilization makes it practical for handheld nature work. The f/4 aperture is the main compromise. You'll want a tripod for low light, and the bokeh won't win portrait awards. But for nature shooters at the 64/100 score and budget-conscious buyers at 65.7/100, the Sigma 24-105mm f/4 Art delivers image quality that punches way above its price class.
