Sigma has announced the 24-105mm F4 DG OS HSM – an image stabilized normal zoom for full frame DSLRs. The 24-105 becomes the latest addition to the company’s ‘Art’ series of lenses designed to offer high image quality. The lens features a 19 element/14 group design including Sigma’s FLD glass and both single- and double-sided aspherical elements which the company says will minimize aberrations. It has a minimum focusing distance of 45cm throughout its range, giving a maximum magnification of 1:4.6. Prices and availability have yet to be announced.
