Sigma today announced the 16-28mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary, a ultra-wide zoom lens for L-mount and Sony E-mount camera systems.
This lens boasts five FLD elements and four aspherical lens elements to ensure optimal image quality with minimal aberrations. The lens has an inner zoom mechanism that keeps overall length consistent throughout the entire zoom range, helping it feel balanced in the hand, with the lens’ center of gravity staying fairly constant, making it perfect for gimbal use.
The new 16-28mm has a front filter thread built in, which allows neutral density and polarizing filters to be attached more easily. This is especially useful for landscape photographers and filmmakers.
Weighing in at just 450g and measuring just 100.6mm in length, this lens is portable enough for everyday shooting. It’s especially appealing for landscape, wedding and travel photographers who need to carry their kit for long periods.
An F2.8 constant aperture gives a shallow depth-of-field for blurry out-of-focus areas, which is especially useful when shooting close-ups. The bokeh is smooth and circular thanks to the nine rounded diaphragm blades.
The lens also features a focus mode switch as well as the mount being dust and splash resistant.
