Description — Sigma 16-28mm f/2.8 DG DN
The Sigma 16-28mm f/2.8 DG DN Contemporary lens delivers a 16–28mm wide-angle zoom range with a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture, ensuring consistent light gathering and depth-of-field characteristics throughout the zoom range. Engineered for full-frame mirrorless camera systems, the lens is offered in L-Mount and Sony E-Mount variants, providing compatibility across two major mirrorless ecosystems. Both autofocus and manual focus operation are supported, giving photographers the flexibility to switch between modes as their shooting style demands.
A 72mm filter thread makes it straightforward to attach widely available filters for creative or technical applications. At 450g, the lens is built to balance optical performance with portability. Note that no optical image stabilization is included, so users should factor in their camera body's stabilization capabilities when planning handheld shooting in challenging light conditions.
