Game Changer? Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8 Contemporary DG DN

Показать описание

Sigma have recently introduced the new lens for mirrorless cameras - both in L mount and Sony E Mount. It's the 28-70mm f/2.8 DG DN Contemporary. Coming in at a price of $899, this is and exceptional performing lens with minimal tradeoff. It has a signature look, but also some problems but if you know how to play to the look you're going to LOVE the results!

We all differ.
For me, that extra 4, not 2, mm at the wide angle end is very important.
Yes, the price appeals, however I try to purchase lens for life.
Were I to seriously contemplate purchasing this lens, would also need to get a wide angle prime, such as the Samyang 22/2.

"Game changer" seems to have become the tech word of the year already. According to the amount of game changes I'm wondering if there are any standards left at all that are even possible to settle until they get changed by next game 🙈🙈

Great lens. I have had it on my S5 for a few weeks now and a commercial shoot yesterday. Superb results, photo and video. It’s perfect for events and portraits 👌

I wish they would release more of the contemporary line for, MFT I have the 56mm 1.4 and the 30mm and they are some of the best glass I have owned.

I appreciate the way you go into detail on its image quality attributes including considerations of micro contrast and bokeh, close range versus far off range.

Great review! I’m curious how you think this lens compares to the Tamron 28-75 2.8. Similar price and specs but 5mm more on the long end.

I was looking at the sample images on DPReview. Honestly, for the price, the image quality is shocking. Very sharp and very pleasing bokeh (not top of the line bokeh, but really pleasant). I actually found the bokeh to be nicer than on Sigma's 24-70 2.8. The lens is sharper than the Sony 24-70 GM ver. 1. Yes, SONY's newer 24-70 is better, but it's also approx. 2.3x more expensive.

ordered one i got a few primes on the sony but NO zoom yet and i needed a good walk around lens i can go out and about and take scenery shots BUtT also if i meet someone interesting be able to take some decent portraits all with one lens and i think this will do just great! and open up more options!

Wow. You're great. You explain
important things that all of those other reviews leave out.

I guess a game changer for Sigma lens users only. That was why he did not say anything nor compare to Tamron. Because in Malaysia we do look at Sigma lenses for camera and they are very good. I rarely hear people use Tamron here. Although the price is affordable here. But Sigma has a good branding here. Well i just love this lens just don’t have the money yet 😅

Thank you for the excellent overview. Very fair and comprehensive.

I would love if sigma could do the 16-35 alternative soon

The *4mm, not 2, on the wide end is a pretty big deal but still looks like a really good lens.

Why has this channel slowly moved to camera reviews? A few years ago when this first started it was all about ("The Art of Photography") composition, lighting, different techniques, etc. Why has this changed!? I subscribed because of learning, not for the reviews, and certainly not for squarespace. You used to say camera gear is not more important, instead learn how to shoot light how masters of photography do, now... its....

I had this for a few weeks on a Leica SL2S. Super disappointed about corner sharpness compared to Nikon’s Z zooms (evens the f/4 24-70), so I returned it. Lovely handling though.
