SIGMA 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN
Exclusively for mirrorless cameras | Compatible with full-frame cameras
Smart and nimble. The new standard mirrorless zoom.
Design based on SIGMA's Art line, with the same uncompromising optical performance
A lightweight and compact body - ideal for day-to-day use
Superb build quality with exceptional attention to detail that provides an exceptional user experience
SIGMA sets a new standard in large-aperture mirrorless zoom lenses
The SIGMA 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN | Contemporary redefines the standard zoom for mirrorless cameras by combining outstanding optical performance, an F2.8 constant aperture, and a lightweight and compact body. The design of the 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary is based on the existing 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN Art, but with a focal range starting at 28mm, making the lens body significantly smaller and lighter while maintaining superb optical performance. It is the smallest and lightest lens in its class.
Remaining true to the Contemporary line's core concept of maintaining an optimal balance between optical performance and lens size, this new optic delivers professional quality results in a body small enough to take on a casual outing.
In addition to prioritizing portability, SIGMA's optical engineers introduced a new combination of coatings and structural elements that make this standard zoom well-equipped for use in a wide range of shooting environments.
Likewise, the latest production and manufacturing techniques were employed to ensure exceptionally high build quality. The 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary introduces another fast, high-performance, large-aperture zoom lens to SIGMA's mirrorless line-up, offering a more compact alternative to the existing 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN | Art
Features
Design based on SIGMA's Art line, with the same uncompromising optical performance
The optical design of the SIGMA 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary is based on the 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN Art, which is renowned for its outstanding optical performance throughout its zoom range. True to the Contemporary line's core concept, the 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary was developed to offer the right balance of performance and portability, and as such, this large-aperture standard zoom delivers outstanding image quality that rivals Art line lenses in a body light enough for day-to-day use.
Building on state-of-the-art technology, the 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary has an advanced optical design that includes three aspherical, two FLD, and two SLD elements. Despite using fewer elements in total than the 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN Art, the design results in a thorough correction of axial chromatic aberration and sagittal coma aberration, which cannot be corrected in-camera, allowing users to create images that are uniformly sharp from the center to the edges of the frame. Along with its anti-ghosting design, the use of Super Multi-Layer Coating and Nano Porous Coating means well-controlled flare for high-contrast results in backlit conditions. It also features a water and oil repellant coating on the front side of the lens.
In short, the SIGMA 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary combines all of the key optical features required of a large-aperture standard zoom lens, which are essential for photographing a wide variety of subjects in a range of shooting conditions.
Comparison of the two optimal solutions to standard zoom lenses with F2.8 brightness throughout the zoom range.
With the addition of the new 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary, SIGMA now provides two optimal solutions of standard F2.8 zoom lens for mirrorless cameras - the new 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary achieves remarkable portability and offers the same optical performance, as the existing 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN Art which is for pro-use with the highest levels of performance throughout its focal range.
