At just 16.6 ounces, it\u2019s almost one pound lighter than Sigma&#8217;s 24-70 f\/2.8 Art lens. So while you do lose a couple of millimeters on the wide end compared to its bigger brother, the Contemporary&#8217;s compact size makes that a worthwhile comprise for me.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Stellar Image Quality <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Where you don\u2019t have to compromise is image quality. Even though this lens is part of Sigma\u2019s Contemporary line, it has Sigma Art level performance all through the focal range. Even wide open at 28mm, I didn\u2019t notice any sort of vignetting, and there was minimal distortion.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_67594\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-67594\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-67594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC02028-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"Sigma 28-70mm image samples\" width=\"640\" height=\"361\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC02028-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC02028-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC02028-825x465.jpg 825w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC02028-50x28.jpg 50w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC02028.jpg 1917w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-67594\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Cooper Naitove<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>Accurate, Speedy, and Silent Autofocus<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Another feature that makes this lens awesome for street photography is its stepping AF motor. The autofocus was totally silent and felt faster than anything I\u2019ve used before. It had had no trouble grabbing focus at a moment&#8217;s notice on both photo and video mode.<\/p>\n<p>One unexpected perk of this lens is its pretty impressive macro abilities. At 28mm, the minimum focus distance is only seven centimeters, so you\u2019ll have no trouble getting awkwardly close to any of your subjects. Unlike some other zooms I have used recently, Sigma has included a manual focus switch on the side of the lens. While this is a pretty standard feature on most lenses, I only realized how useful it really was when I had to go without one.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of manual focusing, I was really surprised to find that I loved the focus ring on this lens. Unlike a lot of mirrorless camera lenses out there, this one is dampened perfectly and won&#8217;t have you constantly hunting for focus.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_67596\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-67596\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-67596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC02103-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"NYC Street Scenes with Sigma 28-70mm\" width=\"640\" height=\"361\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC02103-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC02103-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC02103-825x465.jpg 825w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC02103-50x28.jpg 50w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC02103.jpg 1917w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-67596\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Cooper Naitove<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_67593\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-67593\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-67593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC01950-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"NYC street scenes\" width=\"640\" height=\"361\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC01950-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC01950-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC01950-825x465.jpg 825w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC01950-50x28.jpg 50w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC01950.jpg 1917w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-67593\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Cooper Naitove<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_67588\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-67588\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-67588\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC01721-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Photos of NYC\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC01721-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC01721-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC01721-825x465.jpg 825w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC01721-50x28.jpg 50w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC01721.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-67588\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Cooper Naitove<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>An All-In-One Lens that\u2019s Portable and Precise<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>I think the big question for most people looking for a full-frame 2.8 standard zoom lens will be deciding between this and Sigma&#8217;s 24-70 2.8 Art series.
