What are chromatic aberrations on a sigma 24-105mm?
Chromatic aberrations, typically seen as purple or blue fringes along contrasty edges, are something of a problem for the Sigma 24-105mm F4 DG OS HSM, especially at the edges of the frame. With the lens set to its maximum aperture of F/4, there is significant light fall-off in the corners at both ends of the zoom range.
What’s the average DG OS score for a Sigma 105mm?
At 105mm f/4 the average score is 2,500 lines, and edges are an acceptable 1,811 lines. Again there’s a very modest improvement by the time you stop down to f/8—the average score hits 2,513 lines and edges near 1,900 lines. The Sigma 24-105mm F4 DG OS HSM is a great value for full-frame shooters.

Sigma 24-105 vs Canon 24-105 extended. On the outside, both the zoom and focus rings are covered in a thick rubberized bands for a secure grip, and rotate very smoothly. It does take a bit of effort to rotate the rings, particularly the focus ring, which has a smooth but firm rotating action.

I recently tested the new 2017 version of the Canon 24-105 and it is minimally better than the old version. This SIGMA still beats it in every way. The quality and reputation of this lens was part of the reason recently invested in the new SIGMA 85mm f 1.4 ART lens, it has not disappointed. Thank you SIGMA for your new ART line of lenses!
When did I buy a sigma 24-105?
After owning three different copies of the Canon 24-105 over a six year period I found they all misfocused between 10-15% of the time. So I purchased the SIGMA 24-105 about a year ago.
