Sigma 28-70mm F/2.8 DG DN Contemporary L-mount

The Sigma 16-28mm f/2.8 DG DN Contemporary is a standout wide-angle zoom for Sony E-mount shooters, delivering impressive optical performance at a price that undercuts the competition significantly. Sharpness is excellent across the frame even wide open, chromatic aberration is well-controlled, and the quiet STM autofocus system makes it equally capable for stills and video. At around 450g, it is compact and well-balanced for its class, and the build quality feels premium without being unnecessarily heavy. The 28mm maximum focal length may give some pause compared to 35mm alternatives, but for landscape, architecture, and travel photographers who can work within that range, this lens offers extraordinary value and optical quality that rivals lenses costing twice as much.

This was a purchase made alongside a Sony A7III, as I was looking for a lens that could cover a decent range of zoom, but on a slightly tighter budget than usual.

Prima beeld kwaliteit, snell AF en makkelijk om schakelen naar MF. Het gewicht is ook zeer prettig plus de acceptabele filtermaat is ook mooi meegenomen. Al met al zeer tevreden.

Enkele testfoto’s gemaakt in de vrije natuur. Was zeer verrast van de kwaliteit. Zeer scherp, ook wijd open. Hoeken blijven beetje achter. Contrast en kleurweergave prima.

Good Points: Good for vlogging and wide angle shots.
