Sigma 20-60mm f/2.8-4 DG Contemporary Lens for Sony E

Designed to deliver both a wide-angle perspective and exceptional portability, this lens packs uncompromising sharpness and impressive close-up capabilities into a palm-sized design. The 20-60mm F2.8-4 offers considerable full-frame flexibility without sacrificing light gathering capabilities and bokeh.Starting at 20mm, this zoom lens starts at a focal length significantly wider than most other standard zooms; the field of view gained from 20mm, compared to 24mm, is quite substantial on the wide end. This makes for a lens that can capture everything -- from sweeping landscapes to everyday snapshots to portraits -- with ease. The bright F2.8 aperture on the wide end even allows for nightscape and accessible indoor photography.An impressive short-focusing distance expands shooting versatility even further, with a minimum focusing distance of 15.8cm at the 28mm mark and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.3 at the 35mm mark. This allows for close-up images that approach half-macro performance, rendering exceptional detail of close-up objects. Even at the 60mm end, the 20-60mm F2.8-4 maintains a magnification rate of 1:2.9 for seamless shooting across the full zoom range.Key features Combining a dynamic 20mm perspective with exceptional flexibility Uncompromising optical performance Reliability for effortless shootingCombining a dynamic 20mm perspective with exceptional flexibility20-60mm: Freedom to composeFrom an expansive 20mm ultra-wide to a natural 60mm perspective, this lens delivers a wide range of expression in a versatile zoom.
