SIGMA sets a new gold standard in wide-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 optical design of the 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN | C is based on the existing 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN | A, but with a focal range starting at 28mm, allowing for a significantly smaller and lighter lens body 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 and light enough to take on a casual outing.

In addition to prioritising portability, SIGMA’s optical engineers have 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

Key features:

  • Lens construction: 16 elements in12 groups, with 2 FLD, 2 SLD and 3 aspherical elements
  • Internal focusing
  • Compatible with high-speed autofocus
  • Stepping motor
  • Compatible with lens-based optical correction Function available on supported cameras only. Available corrections may vary depending on the camera model.
  • NanoPorous Coating
  • Super Multi-Layer Coating
  • Water and oil-repellent coating (front element)Focus Mode Switch
  • Support DMF, AF+MF
  • Minimum shooting distance 19 cm at wide-end with a working distance 6.9cm
  • Petal-type lens hood
  • Simple dust-and splash-proof design
  • Designed to minimise flare and ghosting

Design based on SIGMA’s Art line lenses, 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 F2.8DG DN 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.

A lightweight and compact body perfect for day-to-day use

Being slightly less wide-angle than the 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN | Art has allowed a significant reduction in the size of the body of the the28-70mm F2.8 DG DN | Contemporary. 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 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.

Superb build quality and attention to detail for an exceptional user experience

With priority given to optimal portability, the body of the SIGMA 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN | C 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 with the build quality of this lens. One reason for this is that it uses a type of polycarbonate called TSC (Thermal Stable Composite), which has a comparable level of thermal shrinkage to aluminium. 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 in the lubricant technology that has been employed, the rings offer a precise action with an exceptionally high-quality feel.
