Your general purpose lens selection short list just got one lens longer. The Sigma 24-105mm f/4.0 DG OS HSM Art Lens, featuring great image quality, excellent build quality and optical stabilization, definitely deserves your consideration.
The Sigma 24-105mm ƒ/4 DG OS HSM “A” is a solid addition to their already-stellar lineup of lenses produced under their new Global Vision design strategy. The Sigma 24-105 is a very versatile lens with a great focal length range, a constant -- yet not super-fast-- ƒ/4 aperture and image...
The new Sigma 24-105mm F4 DG OS HSM offers a versatile focal range whilst being tack-sharp from 24mm to 80mm, particularly in the centre of the frame. Sharpness at 105mm isn't quite as good, or at the edges of the frame throught the zoom range, but overall the Sigma 24-105mm F4 DG OS HSM is one...
Sigma continues to expand its impressive line of "Art" lenses, which are characterized by high speed, constant apertures, impressive build quality, and unusually attractive cosmetics.
There is a lens that I miss dearly. It was a Tamron 28-105mm f2.8. It was destroyed in an accident during an event shoot. Not too long after that, Sigma announced their 24-105mm f4 and my interest was captured.

This 4.3x standard zoom lens is the latest addition to Sigma's new 'Art' line of lenses that promise excellent optical quality. It can be picked up for around £700 and as it is one of Sigma's top of the range lenses, it sports a hypersonic focusing motor, optical stabilisation, brass lens mount and...
Andy Westlake tests the latest lens in Sigma's Art series – a general-purpose image-stabilised zoom that's designed for use on full-frame DSLRs
Solid build and a great looking lens. The SLR Gear review is right on. Though this Sigma is large and on the heavy side, for what its giving, I'll gladly haul it around. I first tried the Tamron 24-70, another great performer optically, more expensive, but also rather heavy and more limited zoom...
Excellent all around performer; sharp; good contrast; very pleasing build
weight; not weather sealed
