What is the sigma 24mm f 3 5 dg contemporary good for?

The Sigma 24mm f/3.5 DG Contemporary is a small, pocketable wide prime, so it suits travel, street, and environmental portraits, where you want to keep the scene around your subject. On full frame it gives a true 24mm view. It's a good choice if you carry a camera all day and don't want a heavy lens. It has no stabilisation, so you'll rely on the camera's own system or a steady shutter speed.

It fits Sony E and L-Mount bodies. Full-frame options include the Sony a7 III and the Panasonic Lumix S5. If you shoot APS-C, the Sony a6400 is a sensible pairing, though on that body the lens frames like 36mm.
