An embodiment of superior craftsmanship and optical excellence, the SIGMA 28-70mm F 2.8 DG DN Contemporary Lens is exclusively designed for mirrorless cameras, and is fully compatible with full-frame models. This lens sets a new benchmark in the realm of large-aperture mirrorless zoom lenses, offering an optimal blend of outstanding optical performance, a constant F 2.8 aperture, and a lightweight, compact body for everyday use. The design of this lens is inspired by SIGMA's Art line, renowned for its uncompromising optical performance. Despite its smaller size and lighter weight, the 28-70mm F 2.8 DG DN Contemporary Lens maintains the same superior optical performance, making it the smallest and lightest lens in its class.
The lens is engineered with a unique combination of coatings and structural elements, making it well-equipped for use in diverse shooting environments. It also boasts an advanced optical design that includes three aspherical, two FLD, and two SLD elements. This design results in a thorough correction of axial chromatic aberration and sagittal coma aberration, ensuring uniformly sharp images from the center to the edges of the frame. The SIGMA 28-70mm F 2.8 DG DN Contemporary Lens also features a Super Multi-Layer Coating and Nano Porous Coating for well-controlled flare in backlit conditions, and a water and oil repellant coating on the front side of the lens.
These features make it an essential tool for capturing a wide variety of subjects in different shooting conditions. The lens is designed with a focus on portability, featuring a simpler dust- and splash-proof structure and smaller switches. It also includes a lightweight focusing element and a quiet, fast stepping motor for responsive and near-silent autofocus performance. Weighing in at just 470g, this lens, when attached to the SIGMA fp, creates a camera system that weighs less than 1kg. This supreme portability offers photographers and filmmakers a high-performance, lightweight, easy-to-handle camera system that works well with a gimbal and other accessories.
Constructed primarily of lightweight parts, including a type of polycarbonate called TSC (Thermally Stable Composite), the SIGMA 28-70mm F 2.8 DG DN Contemporary Lens ensures stable performance even in environments with extreme temperature changes. The SIGMA 28-70mm F 2.8 DG DN Contemporary Lens is a testament to SIGMA's commitment to providing mirrorless users with a fast aperture standard zoom lens that not only delivers exceptional images but also offers a premium, intuitive build for an enhanced photographic experience.
