Product details

The Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8 DG DN Contemporary redefines the standard zoom lens for mirrorless cameras: it combines outstanding optical performance and a constant aperture of f/2.8 with a lightweight and compact design.

In terms of design, the 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary is based on the 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN Art, but with a focal length range starting at 28mm. This results in a significantly smaller and lighter lens body while maintaining the same excellent optical performance.

The slightly reduced wide-angle range of the 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary compared to the 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN Art allows for a notable reduction in the size of the 28-70mm body. The concept of the Contemporary product line harmonizes performance and usability.

The lens features a single, lightweight focusing element, enabling a compact autofocus unit. Combined with a quiet and fast stepping motor, this ensures responsive and nearly silent autofocus performance.

The 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary weighs only 470g, and when paired with the Sigma fp, it totals just 890g. Such an exceptionally lightweight camera system, weighing less than 1kg, provides photographers with a tremendous degree of freedom and flexibility to realize their creative visions. It is also an ideal choice for filmmakers seeking a powerful, lightweight, and easy-to-handle camera system that works well with a gimbal and other accessories.

  • PositiveGreat image quality from wide angle to telephoto
  • PositiveFast and precise autofocus
  • PositiveCompact, lightweight design
  • PositiveFair price: 849 euros
  • NegativeWithout switches and buttons
  • NegativeWeather resistance limited to bayonet

Hardly any weaknesses - this is proven by the test on the DigitalPHOTO test chart. Sigma offers a great standard zoom with the 28-70mm.

  • PositiveThe test values of the lens almost reach the top values of Sigma's Art line. This results in an excellent price-performance ratio.
  • NegativeThe lens achieves its compact dimensions in part by unfortunately foregoing an optical image stabiliser.

If you can accept the four millimetre longer wide-angle setting compared to a classic 24-70, the new Sigma is an excellent lens at a very attractive price. In return, you get a light, compact and very well-made standard zoom.
