Sigma 24mm f/2 DG DN Contemporary Reviews

Fantastic

This lens quickly became my standard option as a party lens, i.e. for tight interior shots of people groups. It's small and light while reasonably fast at f/2, with good performing auto focus. As others have said, the build quality is exquisite reminding me of my manual focus Voigtlanders. In terms of image quality, the sharpness is top-notch. I shoot it wide open most of the time and, unless there's motion blur, the eyelashes are razor sharp no matter where in the frame they happen to be. My understanding is that the optical compromise Sigma made with this lens to achieve the remarkable combination of small form factor, speed and sharpness is the geometric correctness. Without lens profile corrections, there's a fair amount of barrel distortion. However, unless you have a bunch of straight lines near the edges, that's actually a GOOD THING, because this renders peoples heads and other ovals in a much more natural way. For these use cases this lens is a better choice than expensive and more rectilinear choices like Sony's fantastic 24mm GM. Basically, a perfect 24mm for what I need. I also like how most Contemporary lenses in the Sigma line share the common filter thread. Very tempting to build a kit!

Great all day lens

Solid, light weight, excellent for landscape and street photography. Great size-can carry around all day without tiring. Sharp from f/2.8 on up. Softness at 2.0 that creates a dreamy look. Excellent metal build and classy magnetic lens cap. Terrific lens at a good price.
