Thornfield HouseSigma 16-28mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary Lens for Sony E
Our Price: £728.00
The Sigma 16-28mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary for Sony E is a compact full-frame ultra-wide zoom with a constant F2.8 aperture. At 450g it is about the size of many F4 wide zooms, and on an a7 IV, a7C II or a7R V it suits landscapes, travel, interiors and vlogging.
There are 16 elements in 11 groups, including five FLD and four aspherical elements, to control colour fringing and distortion.
The lens stays the same length as you zoom, which keeps a gimbal balanced and makes it feel solid in the hand.
Unlike most ultra-wide F2.8 zooms it takes standard 72mm screw-in filters, so polarisers and ND filters are easy to use.
The barrel uses Sigma's Thermally Stable Composite, and the mount has a rubber seal against dust and splashes. A quiet stepping motor handles autofocus for stills and video.
This is for travellers, vloggers and landscape photographers who want F2.8 without the weight. The Sigma 14-24mm F2.8 DG DN goes wider and is designed for astro, and the Sigma 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN is the matching compact standard zoom.
Also available for L-Mount.
