Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG DN II Art (L-mount)
This L-mount 24-70mm f/2.8 Art II is a benchmark pro standard zoom, adding an aperture ring and faster HLA autofocus over the Gen 1, at 745g with an 82mm thread. It's the all-purpose lens for L-mount full-frame shooters. Two cautions: it has no optical stabilization, so non-IBIS bodies suffer for handheld video, and travel-light kits may prefer the 28-70 C at roughly half the weight.
