Sigma 24-60mm f/2.8 DG EX Aspherical Autofocus Lens for Nikon, Black {77}

Sigma 24-60mm f/2.8 EX DG: constant-aperture standard zoom for Nikon F

The Sigma 24-60mm f/2.8 EX DG covers a practical focal range from wide-angle to short telephoto, holding f/2.8 throughout. That constant maximum aperture means consistent exposure across the zoom range, which matters when you're working in mixed or low light and can't afford to compensate mid-shot. The 77mm filter thread is a common size, so existing circular polarizers and ND filters from other lenses in your kit will likely transfer without an adapter.

Mounted on a Nikon F body, this lens draws on the full autofocus capabilities of the F-mount ecosystem. The EX designation in Sigma's naming convention signals a professional-grade build tier. For shooters who need a single lens to carry from environmental portraits at 60mm to wider establishing shots at 24mm, the f/2.8 ceiling gives genuine flexibility when the light drops.

Who It's For

Event photographers working indoors will appreciate the f/2.8 ceiling across the full zoom range, avoiding the exposure shifts that plague variable-aperture alternatives. Portrait shooters can work at 60mm with a wide aperture for subject separation without switching lenses. Documentary and photojournalists covering a scene benefit from the 24mm end for context shots and the 60mm end for tighter frames, all on a single mounted lens. The 77mm filter thread also suits landscape photographers already invested in that filter size.

FAQ

What aperture does this lens maintain across the 24-60mm range?

f/2.8 throughout. That constant maximum aperture holds whether you're at 24mm or 60mm, so exposure stays consistent when zooming.

Will my existing filters work on this lens?

Yes, if they're 77mm. The filter thread matches many standard lenses, so circular polarizers and ND filters from your kit will attach directly.

What mount does the Sigma 24-60mm f/2.8 EX DG use?

Nikon F AF mount. It integrates with the full autofocus system of Nikon F bodies.

What focal range does this lens cover?

24-60mm. That spans wide-angle to short telephoto in a single lens, covering environmental portraits and wider establishing shots without a lens change.

Is this lens built to professional standards?

The EX designation marks Sigma's professional-grade tier. This lens is constructed to that standard.

When would I use f/2.8 on a zoom lens like this?

In low light or mixed-light situations where you need shallow depth of field without stopping down. The constant f/2.8 means you don't lose light as you zoom, so exposure compensation mid-shot isn't necessary.
