I’ll be pairing it with the Sony A7R4 so using the crop feature essentially covers the 35mm range.The sigma lens in my opinion is better then the tamron and it’s just a lot cheaper then the Sony GM.ROBERT E : Wanted a fast wide angle lens for my Sony camera. This one is half the price of the 16-35 G master.ESWAR P : Wanted a wide angle lens to pair with Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8.

Lightweight and sharp wide lens! Must have in the bag!

This lens my work horse! I shoot a lot of real estate and this is my go to for both photos and video! The focal length is plenty sufficient and the sharpness is fantastic! Lightweight and just a solid build! I owned the heavier 14-24 sigma prior to this and that was great, but heavy and started to fall apart within a year! This one I highly recommend. A must have in the bag!

A Great Lens With Internal Zoom

I bought this lens to compliment my 28-70mm f2.8 DG DN C lens. Both are constant f2.8 lenses, but 16-28mm is heavier than the 28-70mm and needs larger 72mm filters. Build quality is excellent and this lens has the advantage of internal zoom, so it stays at the length no matter how much you zoom out. One small complaint about Adorama. This lens included free shipping but apparently Adorama has a location in Tennessee and they obviously use the cheapest UPS service available so the package travelled through 10 cities in 7 states before arriving to me in Massachusetts. So when I ordered two filters for this lens tonight, I ordered them from Adorama's arch NYC competitor. The filters cost a fraction of what the lens cost, also included free shipping and will be here in less than 2 days.

Great lens, a great purchase

Great form factor, perfect for my usage. Produces one of the sharpest images. Tone on this lens is pretty spot on as well.

Almost made it to five stars

Ok, direct to the point, this lens does not like to shoot into a strong light, it sings with flare. If you occasionally shoot into a strong light, like the Sun at sunset, you might want to avoid this lens. But if you like flare this lens is for you. Otherwise it is a great lens. Relativity sharp, or sharp enough, and great zoom range for travel and landscapes.

GET THIS LENS FOR A good zoom wide option

Came super fast, well, minus the fact that when it got here the ups guy ignored me and then took it to an advanced auto parts, and they were confused there, but overall the lens is solid, ridiculously light weight, the 2.8 is solid.

My new everyday landscape lens

bought for the Panasonic S1, L-Mount... it's exactly like the Sigma ART 24-70mm, just wider, and I mean this in the best way possible. Sharp, easy to use, good depth of field for landscapes. Good for astro, seascapes. Thank you Sigma for giving us a great alternative to the 12-24mm (which I have also bought, but was stolen)

Sharp lens wit

Very sharp lens for this price range, even at wide open. The lens is light enough that can be attached to the camera all the time. Distortion is very obvious if correction is turned off, but that should not be a problem(this is also fairly common for a ultra wide angle zoomed lens) since on-camera live correction works flawlessly and there is already correction profile on Adobe Camera Raw. I was also looking at 16-35GM before purchasing this lens. The performance at 35mm of 16-35GM is lottery, which worries me a little bit. As for Sigma 16-28, I do lose the extra reach from 28mm to 35mm. But since I am using it on A7R4, the missing focal length can be compensated with cropping if I really need it. Note that although the front filter thread of this lens is 72mm, you still need something larger than 72mm filters if you would like to stack CPL and ND.

Sigma 16-28mm f/2.8 DG DN

With the SIGMA 16-28mm F2.8 DG DN | Contemporary Lens for Sony E, experience the perfect blend of portability and performance in a compact, lightweight design. This high-performance ultra-wide zoom lens features a constant F2.8 aperture, delivering exceptional optical quality within a robust and lightweight body.

Designed for Sony E-mount shooters, this lens opens up new possibilities for those seeking professional results in a compact package. Its excellent field curvature correction ensures exceptional edge-to-edge sharpness, a critical feature for wide-angle applications. The lens is equipped with five FLD elements and four aspherical lens elements, minimizing aberrations and ensuring optimal image quality.

The inner zoom mechanism of the SIGMA 16-28mm F2.8 DG DN | Contemporary Lens maintains a consistent overall length throughout the zoom range, providing balance and stability. This feature, along with the lens' constant center of gravity, makes it ideal for gimbal use. A built-in front filter thread allows for easy attachment of filters, enhancing its versatility.

Weighing just 450g and measuring only 100.6mm in length, this lens is a practical and portable option for everyday shooting. It's particularly appealing for landscape, wedding, and travel photographers who need to carry their equipment for extended periods.

The two large-diameter aspherical lens elements and five ideally arranged FLD glass elements effectively suppress lateral and vertical chromatic aberrations. The F2.8 constant aperture provides a shallow depth-of-field for beautiful out-of-focus areas, while the nine rounded diaphragm blades ensure smooth and circular bokeh.

The SIGMA 16-28mm F2.8 DG DN | Contemporary Lens also features the Super Multi-Layer Coating to counter ghosting and lens flare, delivering high contrast results even in challenging backlit conditions. Its fast and silent autofocus, controlled by a stepping motor, makes it ideal for shooting in quiet environments.

Constructed with Thermally Stable Composite (TSC), a polycarbonate with a thermal contraction rate similar to aluminum, the lens functions at peak performance even in harsh temperature differences. The precision of each component and the finished product's simple beauty are a testament to SIGMA's unparalleled manufacturing technology and rigorous quality control.

In summary, the SIGMA 16-28mm F2.8 DG DN | Contemporary Lens for Sony E is a sophisticated, versatile photographic tool that offers photographers and filmmakers an effortless blend of portability and performance.
