That said, for regular, every-day shooting, the Sigma lens focused just fine. Unfortunately, refraining from zooming while tracking a player only gave me a modest improvement in performance: focus acquisition was still slow on moving subjects, and focus was hit and miss while shooting bursts. Matthew Gore | Light And MatterĪlmost every time I zoomed the Sigma lens while tracking a player, my camera lost focus (shooting with a Canon 5D Mark III). With that understood, I had a lot of difficulty shooting basketball with the Sigma ART lens, while the Canon 24-70 f/2.8L and f/4L were the most reliable for me. So, end end up shooting dozens of girls basketball games each year. In addition to all of the other work that I shoot, I have three nieces who play on basketball teams around the Seattle area, year round. I should probably also mention that this is something that I do regularly. Girls basketball is perfect because there’s plenty of action, but the tournaments are generally held in poorly lit middle-school and high-school gyms, which can be very challenging for even the best lenses and autofocus systems. To test the autofocus and tracking performance of these lenses, I shot several girls basketball games, usually switching lenses at halftime. Autofocus and Tracking Performance Matthew Gore | Light And Matter They are, however, the Tamron lens was generally sharper for me, and is about the same price. Furthermore, for most landscape photography and other detail critical work, photographers will shoot at f/5.6 or smaller apertures, at which point the differences in image quality are very minor. Image stabilization was turned off, as it was on a tripod.Īlthough the Sigma lens is generally does not match the resolution or sharpness of the Canon, it is generally sharp enough that most people will not have a problem with it for general use. I can only assume that this has to do with the image stabilization system not returning properly, because in this case, three consecutive shots with the Sigma lens (re-focused in between each), are all identical. In this case, the center resolution isn’t great on the Sigma, either, though in some cases, it’s better. Click on the images to see 100% magnification.

Take a look, starting at the 70mm end of the zoom range. However, away from the center, resolution was often quite bad. Depending on the the light and conditions, it was sometimes on par with the Canon 24-70 f/2.8L II comparison unit, though no better. In general, the Sigma 24-70 f/2.8 ART’s resolution was excellent in the center of the lens.

Ultimately, we had problems with the resolution of the lens away from the center at f/2.8 and f/4, as well as serious problems with autofocus speed and tracking, leaving us with serious concerns about the lens’s suitability for professional use. If Sigma hadn’t directly sent us this lens for testing, I may have assumed that there was something wrong with it, considering the heritage of the ART series.

Matthew Gore | Light And MatterOver the past several years, we’ve been very impressed with the optics in Sigma’s ART series line (particularly the 50mm f/1.4 ART and 35mm f/1.4 ART), but this comparison has given us pause. Taken with the Sigma 24-70 f/2.8 ART lens at Discovery Park, Seattle.
