Sigma 16-28mm f/2.8 DG DN Contemporary lens, Sony E

Sigma 16-28mm f/2.8 DG DN Contemporary - a comprehensive wide-angle lens

The Sigma 16-28mm f/2.8 lens keeps a fixed f/2.8 aperture across the entire zoom range within its compact design. It's a great choice for the photographer who wants a lightweight lens that's easy to carry around, but doesn't want to sacrifice all the features of the highest quality lenses. The lens is ideal for landscape, travel and wedding photography.

The lens has optics almost on a par with the Sigma Art series, and produces edge-to-edge images that are accurate. Five FLD elements combined with four aspherical elements ensure that the image is clear and free from distortion. Thanks to the nine circular dimmer blades, the bokeh produced by the lens is natural and smooth.

The autofocus stepper motor ensures fast, quiet and accurate autofocusing The lens zoom is internal, which means that the focus of the lens remains the same when zooming.

The lens is made of Sigma's TSC (Thermally Stable Composite) polycarbonate, which allows for lightweight construction and durability even in harsh shooting conditions. All Sigma lenses are manufactured in Sigma's own factory in Aizu, Japan under strict quality standards.

The Sigma 16-28mm f/2.8 DG DN C is also compatible with the Sigma USB stick, which can be used to update the firmware and fine-tune the features of the lens.

If the focal length of the lens doesn't feel long enough, we recommend buying a lens such as the Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8 DG DN Contemporary -lens to go with it. Together, these two lenses are a pretty unbeatable combo.
