Sigma 16-28mm f2.8 DG DN C Lens - Sony E-mount

The Sigma 16-28mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary is a full-frame, robust and lightweight lens designed for Sony mirrorless cameras. It is Ideal for landscape, wedding and travel photographers who need to carry their kit over long distances or for long periods of time. The lens has an internal zoom mechanism that keeps the overall length of the lens consistent throughout the entire zoom range and means the lens is compact and lightweight. Perfect for gimbal use as it would not need adjusting when the focal length is changed.

Impressive performance in a compact design
The two large-diameter aspherical lens elements and five perfectly arranged FLD glass elements keep the lens light and compact while effectively suppressing the lateral and vertical chromatic aberrations that often diminish the image quality of other ultra-wide lens designs. The lens also utilises the advanced digital correction capabilities of modern cameras to enable it to achieve such impressive image quality in such a small body.

Optical excellence
The F2.8 constant aperture gives a shallow depth-of-field for blurry out-of-focus areas, which is especially useful when shooting close-ups. The bokeh is smooth and circular thanks to the nine rounded diaphragm blades, which means the background never distracts from the in-focus subject. Extensive measures have been taken to counter ghosting and lens flare, which are caused by reflections inside the lens barrel. The Super Multi-Layer Coating ensures that the 16-28mm F2.8 DG DN | Contemporary delivers punchy, high contrast results even in the most difficult of backlit conditions.

Internal zoom mechanism
The internal zoom mechanism allows the lens to maintain the same length throughout the entire zoom range and with almost no shift to its balance point. The resulting stability will be appreciated by anyone looking to use the lens with a gimbal, or for hand-held or vlog-style film-making.

Stepping motor
By using a stepping motor to control the AF actuator, the autofocus of the 16-28mm F2.8 DG DN | Contemporary is both fast and silent, making it ideal for shooting in quiet environments, such as weddings, and also for video when using an on-camera mic.
