Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8 DG DN Overview
Sigma Introduces a Compact Contemporary 28-70mm f/2.8 Zoom Lens for Mirrorless Cameras
SIGMA 28-70mm f/2.8 DG DN Contemporary Lens | Hands-on Review
The 28-70mm f/2.8 DG DN Contemporary Lens for Leica L-Mount from Sigma is a versatile wide-angle to portrait-length zoom characterized by its f/2.8 constant maximum aperture. The design suits working in available lighting conditions while affording increased control over depth of field. More lightweight and compact than similar 24-70mm lenses, it’s optical design incorporates two FLD and two SLD low-dispersion elements plus three aspherical elements that reduce a variety of aberrations to achieve high sharpness, enhanced clarity, and improved color accuracy. It features just one lightweight focusing element, which keeps the AF unit small. This, along with a quiet and fast stepping motor, makes for responsive and near-silent autofocus performance, an ideal combination for filmmakers looking for a high-performance, lightweight, and easy-to-handle camera system that works well with a gimbal or other accessories.
Each optical surface features Super Multi-Layer and Nano Porous coatings to improve contrast and color rendering by suppressing lens flare and ghosting for optimal light transmission, and an added water- and oil-repellent coating on the front optic helps keep the lens free from smudges and droplets. The weather-sealed design benefits working in trying environmental conditions, and a nine-blade rounded diaphragm contributes a pleasing bokeh quality when using wider apertures.

Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8 DG DN Reviews
Really good quality for the price!

Sharp and surprisingly good quality pictures!
Great, affordable lens
By Rebecca Rated 5 out of 5 Date: 2021-12-01
A must for any run-and-gun shooter. Great for interviews as well. Videos are sharp and the build quality on the lens itself is excellent.
Incredible
By Nicholas Rated 5 out of 5 Date: 2021-11-16
I’ve used a couple kit lenses and a few primes in my video work, but with the fast nature of my type of videography having a decent zoom range and fast aperture really speeds me up. I think this is a great next step in your lens purchases if you’re coming up from a kit lens.
Amazing multi-purpose lens!
By Jorge Adrian Rated 5 out of 5 Date: 2021-11-04
My main activity is wedding photography, and I have to say, I only used one lens (this one) with a a7c during all wedding. Razor sharp images, light, and compact compared against similar lenses and really worth the money!
My New Everyday Lens
By Clyde Rated 5 out of 5 Date: 2021-11-01
This lens is fantastic. It’s now to daily go to lens. I leave on my camera so I can just pick up and go. I highly recommend it to everyone.
Super value!
By Michael Rated 5 out of 5 Date: 2021-09-14
Nicely built, good looking and tack sharp. All for a very reasonable price, plus it’s pretty fast so you can get nice bokeh effects if that’s what you’re after.
Vignette was not acceptable to me
By Mikhail Rated 2 out of 5 Date: 2022-01-11
In my experience, the vignetting was too much (both on a short and long edge) which only resolves around f/4.5. Sony vignette autocorrection (shading compensation) didn’t help at all. It was a dealbreaker to me.
Sharp, Compact perfect for Hybrid shooters!
By NEWYORK Rated 5 out of 5 Date: 2021-12-10
I bought this lens before selling my 24-70 GM . It’s either I’m returning this or sell my GM . These are the reason why I kept this lens . Its sharper than GM and has better contrast , compact size that’s half the weight of GM makes a difference carrying it all day. It’s also perfect for Gimbal and I already have a Tamron 17-28 that can fill up the 24mm Edge of GM. Overall I’m very happy with this Lens except the pin cushion distortion which is fixable in LR .
