Category: Mirrorless System Lenses

The Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8 DG DN Contemporary is a compact, lightweight standard zoom lens engineered for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras (and usable on APS-C bodies with a 42-105mm equivalent focal range). Characterized by its bright, constant f/2.8 maximum aperture, it balances low-light capability and shallow depth-of-field control with a significantly smaller footprint than traditional 24-70mm f/2.8 zooms. Featuring advanced glass elements, Super Multi-Layer and Nano Porous coatings, a fast stepping autofocus motor, and a dust- and splash-resistant brass bayonet mount, it is an ideal portable option for daily walkaround shooting, travel, portraiture, and gimbal-mounted video production.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

John ★★★★★

After months of carrying around heavier zooms, the weight difference here is genuinely noticeable on my camera body during long hikes. Autofocus keeps up perfectly with my toddler running around, and the f/2.8 aperture throughout the range makes indoor shots possible without a flash.

Julian X. ★★★★★

Shot a wedding with this last weekend and the f/2.8 aperture kept everything sharp even as the sun went down. The autofocus locked onto faces without hesitation, and my arm wasn't sore at the end of the night.

Edward U. ★★★★★

This zoom is impressively light for a constant f/2.8 lens, making it much easier to carry around all day for street photography. The autofocus is snappy and quiet, and image quality is sharp even wide open.
