SIGMA 16-28mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary pro Sony E

The Sigma 16–28 mm f/2.8 DG DN Contemporary is a powerful ultra-wide-angle zoom lens that impresses with its high image quality in a surprisingly compact design. The advanced optical construction ensures excellent sharpness across the entire frame.

The Sigma 16–28 mm f/2.8 DG DN Contemporary lens combines top-notch optics, a constant f/2.8 aperture, and a lightweight yet sturdy construction. It is the ideal choice for Sony E-mount and L-Mount users who demand professional results in a small and practical body.

The combination of five FLD elements and four aspherical elements effectivelysuppresses optical aberrations and contributes to a clear and detailed image. The fixed f/2.8 aperture facilitates shooting in low light while allowing for better control of depth of field. Thanks to the internal zoom mechanism, the length of the lens does not change when changing the focal length. The 72 mm front thread allows for easy use of filters.

High image quality in a small package

The lens has been designed using the latest optical development technologies and, despite its compact size, offers exceptional image performance. Four large-diameter aspherical elements, together with five FLD glass elements, significantly reduce chromatic aberrations in both the horizontal and vertical directions.

The f/2.8 aperture allows for stunning depth of field, while the nine-blade diaphragm creates a soft, natural circular bokeh. The Super Multi-Layer Coating minimizes flare and ghosting, ensuring high contrast even when shooting against the light.

Sophisticated ergonomics

The internal zoom system maintains a constant lens length and stable center of gravity, making it much easier to work with a gimbal or when shooting handheld. The practical front filter thread allows for easy use of polarizing and ND filters, which will be especially appreciated by landscape photographers and videographers. Fast and quiet focusing is provided by a stepping motor, making the lens suitable for use in quiet environments.

Durable and lightweight design

The lens construction uses carefully selected lightweight materials, including thermally stable TSC composite and polycarbonate, which helps to keep the weight down (weighing 450 g). A brass bayonet mount with a rubber seal protects the lens from dust and splashing water, making it reliable even when shooting in more demanding conditions.
