Sigma 24-105mm F/4 DG HSM OS (Art) A Autofocus Lens For Nikon {82}
-
$510.00
Sigma's Art-grade 24-105mm f/4 zoom built for full-frame resolution.
The 24-105mm focal range covers a lot of practical ground: environmental portraits at 24mm, compressed mid-range work at 70mm, and tight framing at 105mm. Sigma's Art-series optical formula puts 19 elements across 14 groups to work, incorporating FLD and SLD glass to control chromatic aberration and field curvature across that entire span. The constant f/4 aperture means your exposure doesn't shift as you zoom, which matters when you're adjusting quickly in unpredictable light.
The Hyper Sonic Motor drives autofocus fast and quietly, with full-time manual override so you can fine-tune focus without switching modes. Built-in Optical Stabilization handles camera shake compensation throughout the zoom range, giving handheld shooters a meaningful advantage in lower light. At 885g with a 82mm filter thread, this is a substantial lens built to match the demands of high-resolution full-frame bodies. The 17.7-inch minimum focusing distance at 105mm adds close-focus reach that a kit zoom typically won't offer.
Sigma's USB Dock compatibility is worth noting for shooters who want to dial in AF fine-tuning or update firmware without sending the lens in. For Nikon F system users who want one lens that handles most assignments without an aperture penalty at the long end, this Art-series zoom earns its place in the bag.
Who It's For
Wedding photographers benefit from the constant f/4 aperture across 24-105mm, no exposure recalculation when moving between wide ceremony shots and tighter reception portraits. Documentary and travel shooters get the focal range to work in tight interiors at 24mm and pull in distant subjects at 105mm without swapping glass. Portrait photographers working outdoors will find the Optical Stabilizer useful for handheld sessions in shade or late afternoon light. Landscape photographers shooting on a Nikon F body who want Art-series optical correction on high-resolution sensors have a lens here that was specifically engineered for that use case.

FAQ
- Does the f/4 aperture stay constant throughout the zoom range?
- Yes. The constant f/4 maximum aperture means your exposure settings remain stable whether you're at 24mm or 105mm, which is critical when adjusting quickly in changing light.
- How does the Optical Stabilizer perform across the focal range?
- OS operates throughout the entire 24-105mm span. Handheld shooters typically gain 2-3 stops of shutter speed latitude depending on technique and focal length.
- What autofocus system does this lens use?
- The Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) delivers fast, quiet focusing with full-time manual override, so you can fine-tune focus without switching modes or removing your hand from the camera.
- What's the minimum focusing distance at the long end?
- At 105mm, you can focus as close as 17.7 inches, which gives you closer framing than most kit zooms offer at that focal length.
- Can I use this on APS-C bodies?
- Yes, it's a full-frame lens that works on crop sensors with an effective focal length of 36-158mm equivalent, though you lose the wide-angle benefit of the 24mm base.
- What optical elements control aberration in this design?
- The 19-element optical formula includes two FLD (fluorite low-dispersion) and two SLD (special low-dispersion) elements to manage chromatic aberration and field curvature across the entire zoom range.
- Is this lens compatible with Sigma's USB Dock?
- Yes. The USB Dock compatibility lets you adjust AF fine-tuning and update firmware without sending the lens to Sigma.
