SIGMA 28-70mm F2.8 DG DNExclusively for mirrorless cameras | Compatible with full-frame camerasSmart and nimble. The new standard mirrorless zoom.&#149; Design based on SIGMA's Art line, with the same uncompromising optical performance&#149; A lightweight and compact body - ideal for day-to-day use&#149; Superb build quality with exceptional attention to detail that provides an exceptional user experienceSIGMA sets a new standard in large-aperture mirrorless zoom lensesThe 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 | ArtFeaturesDesign based on SIGMA's Art line, with the same uncompromising optical performanceThe 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.A lightweight and compact body - ideal for day-to-day useBeing slightly less wide-angle than the 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN Art has allowed a significant reduction in the size of the 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary lens body. In order to fit with the design concept of the Contemporary line, which balances performance with portability, the new lens features a simpler dust- and splash-proof structure and smaller switches.This makes it the smallest and lightest lens in its class. The new lens features just one lightweight focusing element, which keeps the AF unit small. This, along with a quiet and fast stepping motor, makes for responsive and near-silent autofocus performance. The 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary weighs in at 470g, and when attached to the SIGMA fp, the entire setup is 890g.The supreme portability afforded by a camera system that weighs less than 1kg gives photographers a huge amount of freedom and flexibility to achieve their creative vision. It's also a perfect combination for filmmakers looking for a high-performance, lightweight, easy-to-handle camera system that works well with a gimbal and other accessories. A large-aperture, standard zoom lens that is light and small enough for casual outings, the 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary will open up new photographic possibilities for better and more creative results.Superb build quality with exceptional attention to detail that provides an exceptional user experience.With priority given to optimal portability, the body of the SIGMA 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary consists primarily of lightweight parts. While conventional wisdom states that it is more difficult to ensure processing accuracy for plastic parts than metal parts, there has been no compromise whatsoever on build quality for the 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary. One reason for this is that it uses a type of polycarbonate called TSC (Thermally Stable Composite), which has a comparable level of thermal shrinkage to aluminum. This helps reduce differences between the thermal shrinkage of the metal and non-metal parts, ensuring stable levels of performance even in an environment with extreme temperature changes.The use of polycarbonates in the construction of zoom and focus rings can make their operation feel less premium, but with careful treatment to the precision of these parts and adjusting the movement with the lubricant appropriately, the rings offer a precise action with an exceptionally high-quality feel. What allows us to achieve these precisely produced parts and such premium aesthetics is the impressive standard of manufacturing technology and rigorous quality control we have at the SIGMA Aizu Factory.The SIGMA 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary offers a new and improved photographic experience for mirrorless users who require a fast aperture standard zoom lens. Its premium, intuitive build makes it as exciting to use the lens as it is to see the incredible images it can produce, inspiring you to start achieving your creative potential.

Used Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8 DG DN Contemporary Lens for Leica L-Mount undefined

So this lens pretty much does it all and is my go to lens for my everyday photography.  Mostly moto inspired shoots with my bike but can cover everything in between.  Highly recommend.

Solid lens that stays on my camera.

good quality lens

First camera, first lens, great purchase!

Sigma all in one zoom lens

Being used to Leica lenses that are metallic and beautifully made, when I received my sigma, i first found it light, plastic, poorly made and cheap looking. But after several tests, I found the glass quite good with nice colors and sharpness. It sure gives more interesting result on full frame Leica SL2 than the Leica T lenses that are for discontinued Leica apps-c cameras. It looks cheap and is cheap, but the lens is good for the price.

Sigma lens vs Leica lens

Came as described. This lens is absolutely amazing! Shooting S-log with this lens is a win.

Amazing quality

Excellent product for a fair price considering the extras that are included. Product is of great quality and has worked as advertised since my purchase.

Great first experience with Adorama

Great lens.  I have both the 24-70 Art and this 28-70 Contemporary.  The biggest difference is weight. The quality difference is there, but in most cases it's not noticeable enough to set one too far apart from the other. The lighter 28-70, however, balances better on a gimbal. So if you are heavy on video, this is the better option. That being said, you do need to be mindful the lens has vignette issues at the lower 2.8 F stop. If you aren't careful you might have to crop where you wished you hadn't. Still a highly recommended lens, just know what you're buying.

Great lens at a good price

Faster and a bit sharper than the Sony kit lens.  This is a good lens, but if you already have the kit lens, I'm not sure this is worth the money.
Great purchase though, if you don't have the kit lens.

Good lens, but not sure it's worth the money to upgrade from the kit lens.

Small, compact, effective. Excellent lense. The perfect travel buddy. I took it to Iceland in the rain, snow, and extreme cold. The lens never faltered. Quick precise auto focus. Never missed a hit, but YMMV. I godd a great copy of a wonderful lens.

Lightweight Powerhouse

loved the quality! and the price was totally reasonable

great lens for half Sony cost and comparable quality

Great zoom small price

Great lens

Lightweight, solid construction, great price!  Glad I purchased this one.

Great Purchase!!

A perfect overall lens for a Sony A7III or equivalent, the 28-70 is sharp, portable, light and feels good in hand, which tick all the boxes for an everyday carry-around or travel lens. It's great for family pics, portraits, landscapes, architecture, random snapshots and more. Weight is evenly distributed and has a good build quality (seems metallic) so it feels good in hand. The quality is what I'm looking for, as it is sharp and quick to focus, and colors come out as expected.

Great overall lens for an A7III

Solid lens, quick shipping and great customer service when I reached out before buying.

Great customer service

Size: In real life, this lens is bigger than the product photos make it look (which seemed almost unbelievably tiny), but it's still smaller and lighter than my existing crop-frame zoom. It's large enough that I might find myself bringing the Sigma fp's kit lens (a 45mm prime) instead of taking the zoom when I want something more than a cell phone camera but am not planning to do any serious photography; but small and versatile enough to be the lens I travel with if I want an all-rounder and _do_ expect to be using the camera.

Feel: Mechanics feel great, inclusive of the zoom mechanism.

Image quality: Not a single complaint. (A note about the range: The wide end isn't all that wide, but insofar as it's full-frame so one can crop down, this goes further than one might expect into the tele end).

Does what it says on the tin (which is itself impressive)

This is a fantastic lens, though a bit bulky.  This was also the first test of my new Sony AR7 II.  The image has incredible detail.

Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8 DG DN lens

I received Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8 DG DN Contemporary Lens for Sony E-Mount Cameras within 4 days after ordering. The quality of the lens is great, cannot wait to take it with me in the following trips!

Great delivery speed and product quality

My main goal with this lens was to find a small zoom lens that I could balance on a Ronin SC as a run and gun wedding setup.  It is absolutely perfect in this use, quality is good, focus is fast and silent.  I've even began using it as a EDC photo lens.

Small zoom lens

Beat expectations -- shockingly compact for a 2.8 zoom. Highly recommended.

Excellent Compact Zoom Beat Expectations

I tried this lens thinking it might replace my Sony 24-105 G at lower weight plus sharing 67mm filters with others lenses in my kit (including the wonderful Tamron 2.8/70-180 with which it's focal length range dovetails). It failed.

After confirming my sample was properly centered, I used a high contrast target to test central sharpness.

Results:  
    -At f/2.8 central sharpness was mediocre at all focal lengths.
    -At f/4 central sharpness is inferior to that of the Sony at all focal lengths.    
    -At 35mm central sharpness does not catch up to the Sony until f/5.6.
    -At 70mm central sharpness was mediocre at all apertures.

Since the Sigma was unsatisfactory in central sharpness I rejected it without testing mid zones and corners.  I'll keep my Sony 4/24-105 with its superior optics, weather sealing, and zoom range, despite the slightly greater size and weight.

Too disappointing optically.

adorama was the only site that had this lens for order in march and it came fast and on time! Really great lens! it's really light and compact so makes it great for everyday use! you do lose 4mm on the wide end but if weight is your main concern this is a great pick and for a great price as well! highly recommend

Small and portable

I?m new to this video and photography scene, but I think I made the right choice with this as my first lens. I borrowed a friends 24-70mm sigma lens and liked it, but this 28-70mm came out just as I was about to buy one for myself. Although it may not go as wide as the 24-70mm, it is lighter and smaller in size, not to mention less in price, and does the job for me! I use this with my Sony a7s iii

Great Lens!!!

Great standard zoom lens. Versatile and can be used for many different types of photography. Love the small size and light weight for a 2.8 zoom. No complaints so far.

Awesome compact zoom

I have only used it once in a shoot and I can already tell that this lens does its job exceptionally well!

4 stars because ultimately would like the zoom feature to be within the camera body similar to the 18-105 Sony.

It may not be a fair comparison, but it would still be nice
