Sigma 16-28mm F2.8 DG DN | Contemporary | Sony E-mount

The Sigma 16-28mm f/2.8 DG DN Contemporary lens for Sony E is a compact, high-performance ultra-wide zoom designed to add a versatile focal length range to a photographer's arsenal in a small and lightweight package without compromising optical quality. The fast f/2.8 aperture allows for faster shutter speeds in low light, and is also particularly useful for close-up photography due to its shallow depth of field.

This lens uses a sophisticated arrangement of specialized aspherical and low dispersion glass elements to effectively suppress chromatic aberrations for improved clarity and color accuracy. Super Multi-Layer and Nanoporous Coatings have also been applied to improve contrast and color rendition, reducing lens flare and ghosting when working in bright light. An internal zoom and focus mechanism maintains constant lens dimensions throughout the zoom range and at all focusing distances. This design feature allows for virtually no shift in the balance point and fixed front element, making it ideal for video recording, travel, and landscape photography.

• The constant f/2.8 maximum aperture is perfect for working in available light.


• Two large-diameter aspherical elements control spherical aberrations and distortions for enhanced sharpness and precise imaging.


• A rounded nine-blade diaphragm ensures smooth bokeh quality.


• The 72mm front filter thread allows the use of regular screw-on filters rather than specialized settings.


• The step-up AF motor is useful for both stills and videographers due to its fast, precise and near-silent operation. Full-time manual focus control is also available.


• Weatherproof construction with brass bayonet for greater mounting accuracy and strength.
